Ingredients
Scale
4 lamb chops
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Juice of half a lemon
Instructions
Pat lamb chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add lamb chops and sear 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches desired doneness.
Reduce heat to medium. Add butter, garlic, rosemary, thyme, and parsley to the skillet. Spoon the melted butter and herbs over the chops as they finish cooking, about 1–2 minutes.
Squeeze lemon juice over the top before removing from heat. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Let lamb chops come to room temperature before cooking for even searing.
Use fresh herbs for maximum aroma and depth.
Don’t skip the lemon—it balances the richness beautifully.
