Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 rack of lamb about 8 chops, frenched
  • 3 –4 garlic cloves smashed or minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
  • 2 –3 sprigs fresh rosemary or 1 tsp dried
  • 6 –7 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 tsp dried
  • 2 –3 tbsp olive oil or canola oil
  • 3 –4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp kosher salt or Himalayan salt
  • 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose seasoning blend or homemade mix of paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne
  • Optional sides: sautéed spinach and creamy mashed potatoes

Equipment

  • Cutting Board (wood or plastic)
  • Mixing Bowl (for marinade)
  • Measuring Spoons & Cups
  • Butcher Paper or Parchment Paper (for seasoning surface)
  • Cast-Iron Skillet (best for searing)
  • Tongs (for flipping chops)
  • Basting Spoon (for butter basting)
  • Instant-Read Meat Thermometer (to check doneness)
  • Serving Platter (for presentation)

Method
 

  1. Place rack of lamb on a cutting board. Slice into individual chops. Trim extra fat but keep a thin layer for flavor.
  2. Lay chops on butcher paper. Sprinkle both sides with salt, pepper, and seasoning blend. Rub lightly to coat.
  3. Mix olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and thyme in a bowl. Coat the chops well. Place in a bag or bowl. Marinate 30 minutes to overnight.
  4. Set a cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil and let it heat until shimmering.
  5. Cook 3–4 chops at a time, 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Work in batches so the pan isn’t crowded.
  6. Return all chops to the pan. Add butter, garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Lower heat. Spoon melted butter over chops for extra flavor.
  7. Remove chops and let rest 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy with mashed potatoes and spinach for a Longhorn-style plate.
