Ingredients

  • Bone-in lamb rib chops
  • Butter or olive oil
  • Garlic minced
  • Fresh rosemary finely chopped
  • Fresh thyme finely chopped
  • Fresh parsley chopped (optional garnish)
  • Dijon mustard optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  • Pat the lamb rib chops dry and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Heat butter (or olive oil) in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  • Sear the chops 2-3 minutes per side until a golden crust forms and they reach your desired doneness (about 130-135°F for medium-rare).
  • In the last minute of cooking, add garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the pan and baste the chops with the herb butter.
  • Remove from the pan and let rest 5 minutes before serving. Squeeze fresh lemon over the top and garnish with parsley if desired.
