For the Lamb Chops

  • 1 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper Key for seasoning.
For the Sauce

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by patting the lamb loin chops dry with paper towels; season generously with salt, pepper, minced garlic, and thyme. Let rest.
  2. Heat the skillet and add olive oil. Sear lamb chops for 3-4 minutes each side until browned and medium-rare (135°F). Transfer to a plate and cover.
  3. Reduce heat, pour in chicken broth, and deglaze the pan. Stir in Dijon mustard, heavy cream, and thyme; let simmer for 3-4 minutes.
  4. Return rested lamb chops to skillet for a minute, or serve on a plate and spoon sauce over. Garnish with thyme and serve warm.

Notes

Always let your lamb chops rest after cooking to lock in the juices. A good sear enhances flavor. Use fresh thyme for the best taste.
