Ingredients
Scale
For the Marinade:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.4 oz fresh thyme (about 2 tablespoons)
- ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
For the Lamb Chops:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 lamb chops
For the Creamy Dijon Sauce:
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Fresh thyme (to taste)
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional, for a smoother sauce)
Instructions
- Step 1: Step 1: Marinate the Lamb Chops. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, fresh thyme, cracked pepper, sea salt, and minced garlic. Place the lamb chops on a large plate or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them.Make sure each chop is well coated on all sides. Let them rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Step 2: Sear the Lamb Chops. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated lamb chops. Cook for about 4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook another 4 minutes on the other side until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. Remove the chops from the skillet and set them aside.
- Step 3: Step 3: Make the Dijon Garlic Sauce. Using the same skillet, reduce heat slightly and stir in Dijon mustard, fresh thyme, and minced garlic. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Stir in heavy cream if desired, to mellow the flavor and add creaminess. Taste and adjust seasoning with sea salt and cracked pepper if needed.
- Step 4: Combine and Serve. Return the seared lamb chops to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Simmer on low to medium heat for another 2–3 minutes until the chops are heated through. Serve hot with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad.
