Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb chops
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the chopped fresh rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, kosher salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels, then rub the herb and garlic mixture evenly onto both sides of each chop. Let them marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Step 4
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb chops for 2 minutes on each side to create a golden-brown crust.
Step 5
Transfer the skillet with the lamb chops to the preheated oven and roast for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from the oven, cover loosely with foil, and let the lamb chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 7
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
