Instructions

  1. Step 1: Combine 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper in a shallow dish. Add 8 lamb chops (about 1 inch thick) and coat evenly. Let marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
  2. Step 2: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the lamb chops and sear for 4 minutes per side until a golden brown crust forms and internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare.
  3. Step 3: Remove chops from skillet, cover loosely with foil, and rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Meanwhile, mix 1 cup Greek yogurt with 2 tbsp chopped fresh mint leaves and 1 tbsp lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
  5. Step 5: Serve the rested lamb chops with a generous dollop of the mint yogurt sauce alongside roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
