Ingredients
  
  • 4 Lamb Chops
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Rosemary chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
Instructions
 
  • Start by marinating the lamb chops.
  • In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and fresh rosemary.
  • Place the lamb chops in this mixture and coat them well.
  • Let them sit for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Take the marinated lamb chops out of the fridge.
  • Allow them to reach room temperature by leaving them out for about 20 minutes.
  • This will help them cook more evenly.
  • Heat a skillet over high heat.
  • Add a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.
  • Once hot, lay the lamb chops in the skillet.
  • Sear each side for about 2 minutes until browned.
  • Reduce the heat to medium.
  • Continue cooking for another 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
  • If you enjoy them medium rare, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F.
  • Remove the lamb chops from the skillet and let them rest for about 5 minutes.
  • This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat tender.
