Notes
- Ask for American Lamb before buying. Using quality lamb will make a difference with any recipe, including this one.
- Have the lamb cold in the fridge until you begin the seasoning process. This will allow for a nice deep sear on the outside without overcooking the meat.
- Feel free to season the lamb with extra spices if you love a heavily spiced chop.
- It’s best to use a heavy duty cast iron for searing as it retains heat evenly.
- We love a butter sear, however you can use any neutral tasting oil.
- The fig and rosemary butter may be prepared up to 5 days in advance and stored in the fridge. You may alternatively freeze it for unto 3 months. This is a great butter to use for your veggies too!
- Storing Leftovers: Leftovers can be stored in air tight container for upto 5 days.
- To Reheat: While you can microwave the lamb loin chops for sure, we prefer another way. We wrap the chops in foil really well and either oven heat (350 degrees F for 10 mins) or air fry them (350 degrees F for 5 minutes).
- Lamb rib chops come from the rib, so the front of the sheep. Those chops feature a rib bone with a piece of meat attached at the end of it. The lamb loins are mainly from the waist, so the bone is centered. The loin has more meat.
- Absolutely! The trick to really tender lamb loin chops is not to overcook them. Use the trick of keeping the meat cold before searing, and avoid overcooking them.
- Depending on the lamb cut and recipe, you may need a marinade. This is such a straight forward day recipe made with a small cut so you won’t need any marinade.
