Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Lamb chops
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Finely chop the fresh rosemary and garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped rosemary, garlic, Dijon mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Pat the lamb chops dry with a paper towel and place them in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag.
Pour the marinade over the lamb chops, making sure each piece is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for enhanced flavor.
Remove the lamb chops from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Sear the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or 4-5 minutes per side for medium. Adjust cooking time based on thickness and desired doneness.
Remove the lamb chops from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain juices.
Garnish with additional fresh rosemary if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
