Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb chops
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional garnish)
- 2 units scallions, finely chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, prepare the marinade by whisking together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, smoked paprika, and ground black pepper.
Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels and lightly season them with a pinch of salt.
Pour the marinade over the lamb chops and make sure each piece is well coated. Cover and let the lamb marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
Heat the sesame oil and vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade, letting the excess marinade drip off (but don't discard the marinade), and place them in the hot skillet. Sear for about 3 minutes on each side until browned.
While searing, reduce the heat to medium and pour the remaining marinade into the skillet. Let it simmer for 8-10 minutes, turning the lamb chops occasionally, until the glaze thickens and coats the meat.
Remove the lamb chops from the skillet and transfer them to a serving plate. Spoon any remaining glaze from the skillet over the chops for extra flavor.
Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped scallions, if desired, before serving. Enjoy your Sticky Honey Lamb with steamed rice or roasted vegetables!
