Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat lamb chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

  2. Step 2

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

  3. Step 3

    Sear chops 2 minutes per side without moving — edges should look golden and opaque.

  4. Step 4

    Add minced garlic and oregano to the pan. Cook 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly.

  5. Step 5

    Squeeze half a lemon over the chops. Transfer to a plate, drizzle with pan juices.

Tools you’ll need
