What You’ll Need
Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 450kcal
Ingredients
- 4 lamb chops
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the lamb chops: Season the lamb chops generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Sear the lamb chops: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the lamb chops and sear for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove the lamb chops from the skillet and set aside to rest.
- Make the garlic herb butter: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the garlic is fragrant and the herbs are infused in the butter.
- Serve: Drizzle the garlic herb butter over the lamb chops. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
