Ingredients:
-
Lamb loin chops
-
Salt and black pepper for seasoning
-
A hint of garlic powder for a flavor boost
-
2 tbsp olive oil for a golden sear
Directions:
-
Heat: Preheat your oven to 400°F. A hot oven is crucial for finishing the chops to perfection.
-
Season Well: Dry the chops with paper towels and season all sides generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
-
Sear: In an oven-safe skillet (I use a cast-iron pan), heat the olive oil over medium-high until hot. Add the chops, searing for about 2 minutes on each side to develop a flavorful crust.
-
Finish in Oven: Move the skillet to the oven. Roast for 8-12 minutes, depending on how you like your lamb (less time for rare, more for medium).
-
Rest: Let the chops rest a few minutes before serving.

These chops pair beautifully with almost anything. Try them with a quick salad, some roasted veggies or whatever your heart desires.
