Step 1
Pat lamb chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Sear chops 2 minutes per side without moving — edges should look golden and opaque.
Step 4
Add minced garlic and oregano to the pan. Cook 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly.
Step 5
Squeeze half a lemon over the chops. Transfer to a plate, drizzle with pan juices.
