Time 42m

Number Of Ingredients 8

8-9 bone-in lamb loin chops, about 1-inch thick
2 teaspoons kosher salt adjust as needed
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil, for the pan
4 tablespoons salted butter
4 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Let the lamb chops sit at room temperature for 20 minutes. Pat dry and season the lamb chops with salt and pepper on all sides.
  • Heat a large cast iron skillet or other heavy pan on medium-high heat until very hot. Add the olive oil and heat for a minute, then carefully place the lamb chops in the pan, leaving a little space between them.
  • Cook for 3-4 minutes until seared on the bottom side, then flip with tongs and cook another 3-4 minutes on the other side to sear.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter, garlic, rosemary and thyme. Spoon the melted butter, garlic, and herbs over the lamb chops while continuing to cook for about 5 more minutes or until the temperature on a digital meat thermometer inserted into the meaty part of the lamb chops reaches 125 degrees F for medium-rare. See notes for additional information about cooking temperatures and degrees of doneness.
  • Remove from the lamb chops from the heat, cover with a piece of foil, then let the meat rest for 10 minutes before serving.

PAN-ROASTED DOUBLE-CUT LAMB CHOPS

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 racks of lamb (8 bones per rack; about 2 pounds each), trimmed and frenched by your butcher
2 cups plus 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
10 sprigs rosemary, 8 stripped and roughly chopped and 2 whole, plus more for garnish
10 sprigs oregano, 8 roughly chopped and 2 whole, plus more for garnish
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon Aleppo pepper (or 3/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Flaky sea salt, for topping

Steps:

  • Cut each rack of lamb into 4 double chops of even thickness. Stir together 2 cups olive oil, the chopped rosemary and oregano, the garlic and 2 teaspoons Aleppo pepper (or 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes) in a large bowl. Add the lamb chops, bones up, and rub the mixture evenly over the meat. Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 400˚. Remove the lamb from the refrigerator and wipe off any excess marinade with a paper towel. Season generously with kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper.
  • Heat an extra-large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and heat until shimmering. Add the lamb, rounded fat-side down. Cook until well browned, about 4 minutes. Turn the chops on their sides in the skillet and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Turn the chops so the fat side is facing up and cook 2 to 3 more minutes. (It's OK if some of the bones are sticking out of the skillet to make space.) Carefully pour off the fat from the skillet and transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast until a thermometer inserted into the center of the lamb registers 125˚ for medium-rare to medium doneness, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Return the skillet to the stovetop over medium-high heat; add the butter and rosemary and oregano sprigs to an open space in the pan. Let the butter melt and start to foam, then baste the chops with the butter a few times until well coated.
  • Transfer the chops to a platter and top with any remaining butter from the skillet. Sprinkle with flaky salt and the remaining 1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper (or 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes). Garnish with rosemary and oregano sprigs.
