Pan Roasted Lamb Loin Chops
October 15, 2018
Cuisine: British
Lamb loin chop can be tricky to cook- if you’re using a thermometer to measure the temperature make sure you don’t measure too close to the fat or bone, but right at the middle of the thickest part of the chop.
I like this method of pan searing and finishing in the oven as it is pretty forgiving, and easy to get the temperature correct. I like to use an Instant Read Thermometer to make sure I get the meat perfectly cooked to a medium rare temperature. For a thicker roast you can just increase the time in the oven.
Ingredients
- 1 pound lamb loin chops
- 3 sprigs rosemary
- butter
Equipment
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a cast iron pan over high heat.
- Dust the lamb chops with salt and pepper and sear the lamb loin chops for 2 minutes on each side.
- Transfer to the oven and cook for 8 minutes, or when an internal thermometer reads 115 degrees at its thickest point.
- Transfer back to the stove and melt 2 more tablespoons of butter in the pan on low heat and add the rosemary. Baste the chops with the butter rosemary mixture for 1 minute.
- Transfer to a wire rack and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
