How to Cook Lamb Loin Chops
- Take the loin chops out of the fridge an hour prior to cooking.
- Season both sides of the lamb to taste with salt and pepper.
- I like to cook lamb loin chops on the stove top in a heavy bottomed skillet. Heat the skillet on medium high heat until hot. I like to use an affordable Lodge Cast Iron Skillet, check current prices on Amazon using our affiliate link.
- Add oil to the skillet, and then place chops in the pan, but do not crowd the skillet. The chops should sizzle when they hit the pan. You want a hot skillet to seal in the flavor.
- Leave chops alone to cook 2-3 minutes before turning. You can adjust this cooking time depending on personal taste and the size of the chops. This is the time I like to use for 1” chops.
- After 2-3 minutes, turn the chops. Use tongs or a method of turning that does not puncture the meat, because you don’t want to release the juices and flavor.
- Cook for another 2 minutes, then cut off the heat.
- Add butter to the skillet, then finely chopped garlic and rosemary to the melted butter.
- Tilt the skillet to pool the butter, then baste the chops with garlic, rosemary, and butter.
- Remove the chops from the pan to a plate, then allow them to rest for 7-10 minutes.
That’s it! Serve with your favorite sides for a decadent, fancy lamb dinner.
