Share:
Ingredients
- 6 lamb chops , rib chops
- Salt and pepper to season
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil to fry
For the marinade
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme , finely chopped
- 1 tbsp dried oregano , Greek oregano preferably
- 1 tbsp fresh Rosemary , finely chopped
- ½ tbsp fresh mint , finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves , minced
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Lemon wedges to serve
Instructions
- Season your chops liberally with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Prepare the marinade: combine the thyme, oregano, rosemary, mint, garlic and olive oil in a small bowl.
- Rub the marinade over the lamb, massaging it into the meat, and leave for up to 20 minutes at room temperature.
- Heat a large skillet over high heat for 30 seconds. Add the olive oil and heat until it slides easily around the skillet.
- Reduce heat to medium-high and add the chops. Sear until they are well browned on the first side, about 3 minutes. They should be cooked medium rare 57°C (135°F) if checked with a meat thermometer.
- Flip the chops over and cook for another 3-5 minutes (depending on thickness).
- Transfer the chopes to a warm plate and leave them to rest for 5 minutes. This will allow the proteins in the meat to relax for maximum juiciness!
- Serve with lemon wedges on the side and a green salad or choose from your favourite side dishes.
