Ingredients

Instructions

1

Take lamb chops out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to bring to room temperature. Season generously on both sides with salt and pepper.

Tip: Room temperature meat cooks more evenly. This is especially important for lamb.

2

Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet (cast iron is ideal) over high heat until smoking. Sear chops for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare (130F internal).

3

In the last minute of cooking, add butter, garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the pan. Tilt the pan and baste the chops with the foaming herb butter for 60 seconds.

4

Transfer chops to a plate and rest for 5 minutes. Spoon the pan butter over the chops and serve with lemon wedges.
