Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat lamb chops dry and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. Step 2

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.

  3. Step 3

    Sear lamb chops 2 minutes per side without moving—they should develop a golden-brown crust.

  4. Step 4

    Add smashed garlic and rosemary sprigs to the pan around the chops, tilting to coat in oil.

  5. Step 5

    Cook 2 more minutes until garlic is fragrant and lamb reaches medium-rare (130°F internal).

  6. Step 6

    Squeeze lemon over the chops and serve immediately with pan juices spooned over top.

Tools you’ll need

  • 12-inch heavy-bottomed skillet
