Ingredients
- Lamb rib chops (not thick)
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Fresh lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- Oregano
- Rosemary
- Thyme
- Red pepper flakes
- Salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Marinate: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, crushed garlic, and seasonings. Rub the marinade over the lamb chops, ensuring even coverage. Let them marinate for at least an hour to enhance flavor.
- Cook: Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until smoking hot. Sear the lamb chops for 2-4 minutes per side until they develop a rich, golden crust. For medium-rare, cook to an internal temperature of 145°F; for medium, aim for 150°F.
- Rest & Serve: Let the chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. This redistributes the juices, ensuring tender, juicy meat. Make your meal memorable! Pair the chops with a bright spring salad, roasted asparagus, or creamy mashed potatoes.
