Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat dry 8 lamb rib chops and season both sides evenly with 1 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the lamb chops in a single layer and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare.
  3. Step 3: In the last minute of cooking, add 4 minced garlic cloves and 3 chopped fresh rosemary sprigs to the skillet, stirring gently to infuse the oil and coat the lamb.
  4. Step 4: Remove the chops from heat and drizzle with 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, letting the meat rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
