Step 1
Pat lamb chops dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 60 seconds.
Step 3
Sear chops 90 seconds per side without moving—edges should look golden and brown. Remove to a plate.
Step 4
Reduce heat to medium. Add butter, garlic, and rosemary sprigs. Cook until garlic is fragrant, 30 seconds.
Step 5
Return chops to skillet. Squeeze lemon juice over top and swirl to coat. Cook 30 seconds more.
Step 6
Transfer to plates. Spoon pan sauce over chops. Top with lemon zest and serve immediately.
