  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 20 minutes
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 24 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in lamb chops
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Allow the lamb chops to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before cooking.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  3. Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels and season them with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  4. Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the lamb chops and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until they develop a golden-brown crust.
  5. Remove the skillet from the heat and spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over each lamb chop.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for about 8-10 minutes for medium-rare doneness or adjust the time based on your preference.
  7. Once done, remove the lamb chops from the oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
  8. Serve the garlic butter lamb chops with your favorite side dishes and garnish with fresh herbs for an extra touch of elegance.

Notes

Be sure to choose high-quality, fresh lamb chops and let them come to room temperature before cooking for even and tender results. Adjust the cooking time based on your desired level of doneness, but remember that lamb is best enjoyed medium-rare to medium. For a delightful pairing, consider serving these succulent lamb chops with roasted vegetables, garlic mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad. Enjoy!
