Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Lamb chops
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Scallions
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and black pepper. This will be your marinade.
Place the lamb chops into a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the lamb chops, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight, for maximum flavor.
Toast sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Set aside for garnish.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Remove lamb chops from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and sear the chops in the hot skillet for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Cook longer if desired, depending on your preferred doneness.
While cooking, drizzle any remaining marinade over the lamb during the last minute for an extra layer of flavor.
Once cooked, transfer the lamb chops to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Sprinkle the rested lamb chops with toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions for a fresh finish.
Serve hot with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad for a perfect meal.
