Ingredients
- 8 lamb ribs cut French style
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh Rosemary , minced
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme , minced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil , optional
- romesco sauce for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°F degrees (or "keep warm" setting). Pat lamb chops dry with a paper towel.
- In a small bowl, mix together the pepper, salt, rosemary and thyme. Season both sides of the lamb chops with seasonings.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium high heat. If not using a well-seasoned cast iron, use a stainless steel skillet and add just enough oil to coat the bottom.
- Add half of the lamb chops to the hot pan, being careful to not overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each sides until chops are rare or medium rare.
- Remove the lamb chops to a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm. Repeat with next batch. Keep warm until ready to serve, being careful not to overcook.
- Plate the lamb chops and top with a generous helping of romesco sauce.
