Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat lamb chops dry on both sides with paper towels.

    Mix minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

  3. Step 3

    Rub the garlic-oregano mixture all over both sides of the chops.

  4. Step 4

    Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
