Garlic and Herb Lamb Chops

Emma Keys

8 lamb chops (loin or rib) 4 cloves garlic, minced 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped 1/4 cup olive oil 2 tablespoons lemon juice Salt to taste Freshly ground black pepper to taste 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)

Ingredients

STEP

01

Pat lamb chops dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Trim any excess fat to help the marinade penetrate better.

STEP

02

Combine minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Whisk well to blend the flavors.

STEP

03

Rub the marinade generously over the lamb chops. Let them marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight in the fridge for deeper flavor.

STEP

04

Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add a light coat of oil and allow it to become shimmering hot before cooking.

STEP

05

Place lamb chops in the skillet. Sear each side for 3–4 minutes until browned and cooked to desired doneness—medium-rare is ideal.

STEP

06

Transfer lamb to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes. This allows juices to redistribute, keeping the meat tender and flavorful.

STEP

07

Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. Garnish with herbs and lemon zest for a refined presentation.
