Easy Pan-Fried Lamb Chops
Description
Easy Pan-Fried Lamb Chops rely on marinated small rib chops coated with a garlic, rosemary, olive oil, and seasoning blend that penetrates the meat. The chops are marinated in the refrigerator to develop flavor while avoiding burning by removing seasoning before searing. Cooking over high heat ensures the outside forms a savory crust. This method provides a balance of robust herbaceous notes and the natural richness of lamb.
The dish is versatile for serving alongside roasted vegetables, potatoes, or a fresh salad, allowing the lamb to be the centerpiece of a meal. The recipe’s emphasis on marination and careful searing lets the subtle rosemary and garlic flavors enhance without overpowering the lamb's depth.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs lamb rib chops small
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp rosemary chopped, fresh
- 1 tbsp salt adjust to taste
- 1/2 tbsp black pepper adjust to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the finely chopped garlic with the oil, rosemary, salt and pepper.
- Coat the sides of the lamb chops with the garlic mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and let them marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (up to 5 hours).
- Preheat your skillet on high heat. Remove all the seasoning from the lamb chops (to prevent them from burning). Sear them for about four minutes on each side, or until your preferred doneness.
- Remove the chops from the skillet and garnish with rosemary. Serve with your favorite sides.
