Ingredients

Scale

Here’s what you’ll need to make these mouthwatering lamb chops:

  • 4 lamb chops (about 1-inch thick)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (helps the herbs stick and adds a slight tang)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for extra richness)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Herb Crust

  1. In a small bowl, mix the garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper together.
  2. Add Dijon mustard and 1 tablespoon of olive oil, stirring until combined.

Step 2: Season the Lamb Chops

  1. Pat the lamb chops dry with a paper towel.
  2. Rub each chop with the remaining olive oil, then coat both sides with the garlic-herb mixture.

Step 3: Sear the Lamb Chops

  1. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add butter.
  2. Once hot, place the lamb chops in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.

Step 4: Rest & Serve

  1. Remove from heat and let the lamb chops rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
  2. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes!

Notes

✔ Use fresh herbs for the best flavor, but dried herbs work in a pinch.
✔ Let the lamb rest before serving – this keeps them juicy!
✔ Cook to your preferred doneness:

  • Medium-rare: 130°F (54°C)
  • Medium: 140°F (60°C)
    ✔ Use a cast-iron skillet for a deep, even sear.
    ✔ Don’t overcrowd the pan – cook in batches if needed for a perfect crust.
