Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat 12 oz lamb chops dry and rub with 1 tbsp olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until smoking. Sear lamb chops for 3 minutes per side until browned, then transfer skillet to a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven.
  3. Step 3: Roast for 10 minutes for medium-rare, then remove and let rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Step 4: While chops rest, pour off excess fat from skillet, leaving 1 tbsp. Add 1/4 cup white wine and 1 tbsp lemon juice (from 1 lemon), scraping up browned bits, and simmer for 2 minutes until reduced by half.
  5. Step 5: Stir in 1 tsp Dijon mustard, then spoon sauce over lamb chops immediately before serving.
