Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb lamb chops 1-1.25 inches in thickness
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2-3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme
  • q.s. coarse salt to taste
  • q.s. fresh cracked black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Cast iron skillet
  • Spatula
  • Meat thermometer
  • Tongs

Method
 

  1. Take the lamb chops out of the refrigerator about 30-45 minutes before cooking to let them come to room temperature. Pat each lamb chop dry and season generously with coarse salt and black pepper on both sides.
  2. Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it get nice and hot.
  3. Place the lamb chops into the preheated skillet and sear for 3-5 minutes on one side until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 3-5 minutes while adding the butter, minced garlic, and thyme to the skillet.
  4. Baste each lamb chop with the hot garlic butter using a spoon. Check the internal temperature; remove from the skillet when done.
  5. Place the lamb chops in a serving dish and tent with foil. Let rest for about 10 minutes. Spoon the buttery mixture from the pan over the lamb chops when serving.
