Instructions

  1. Step 1: Season 8 lamb chops evenly with 1 tbsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper on both sides. Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Step 2: Add lamb chops in a single layer and cook for 4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to medium-rare (internal temp 135°F). Remove chops from skillet and tent with foil to rest.
  3. Step 3: Reduce heat to medium and add 2 tbsp unsalted butter and 3 minced garlic cloves to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Sprinkle 2 tbsp all-purpose flour over the butter and garlic, stirring constantly for 2 minutes until the mixture bubbles and turns golden brown.
  5. Step 5: Slowly whisk in 2 cups beef broth, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Simmer for 5 minutes until gravy thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  6. Step 6: Stir in 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese and 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, mixing until cheese melts and gravy is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Step 7: Serve the lamb chops drizzled with the garlic Parmesan brown gravy.
