Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Herb-Crusted Lamb Chops.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a sizzling 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
As the oven warms, take your lamb chops and trim away any excess fat, ensuring to leave a bit for that rich flavor.
Step 3
Gently drizzle olive oil over each chop, giving them a light coat.
Step 4
Next, season the lamb with minced garlic, crushed rosemary, sea salt, and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper, allowing the aromatic blend to infuse the meat.
Step 5
Arrange the seasoned chops in a cast iron skillet, creating a beautiful display.
Step 6
Slide the skillet into the preheated oven and let the lamb bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they reach a perfect internal temperature of at least 140°F (60°C) for that ideal medium-well doneness.
Step 7
Once they are beautifully cooked, carefully remove the skillet from the oven and cover the lamb chops with foil.
Step 8
Allow them to rest for 8 to 10 minutes; this step is crucial as it lets the juices redistribute, ensuring each bite is succulent.
Step 9
For a delightful finishing touch, serve the lamb chops alongside mint jelly, offering a refreshing contrast that elevates the dish.
Step 10
Enjoy the savory experience of perfectly baked lamb chops that are sure to impress!.
