lamb rib chops recipe
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings 1x
- Diet: General
Description
This recipe provides an easy method to prepare gourmet lamb rib chops with a deeply browned crust and tender, juicy meat, perfect for weeknight dinners or special gatherings. It’s designed to be a wholesome, delicious protein dish that’s simple to execute.
Ingredients
- 4 lamb rib chops, thick cut
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 fresh lemon, cut into wedges (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Prep The Chops: Pat lamb rib chops thoroughly dry with paper towels. Season generously on all sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, and thyme.
- Sear For Flavor: Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet (such as a 10-inch cast iron) over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear lamb rib chops for 3-4 minutes per side until deeply golden brown and a crust forms. Cook to an internal temperature of 63°C (145°F) for medium-rare, adjusting time for preferred doneness (total 8-10 minutes sear time). Sear in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Rest And Serve: Transfer cooked lamb rib chops to a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let them rest for at least 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and chopped parsley, if desired.
Notes
To save time, use pre-minced garlic or dried herbs. Always pat the chops dry before searing to ensure a crisp crust, and don’t skip resting the lamb after cooking to lock in juices and ensure tenderness. Store raw chops in the fridge for 2-3 days or freeze for up to 6 months.
