Step-by-Step Instructions
- Let the bone-in lamb loin chops sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes. Pat them dry with a paper towel and season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until very hot. Add olive oil and allow it to shimmer for about one minute.
- Carefully place seasoned lamb chops into the hot skillet, searing for 3 to 4 minutes on one side until a golden brown crust forms.
- Using tongs, flip the lamb chops and sear for another 3 to 4 minutes on the second side for a beautiful crust and medium-rare finish.
- Reduce the skillet heat to medium-low. Add salted butter, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, and thyme to the skillet. Baste lamb chops with the flavorful mixture until the internal temperature reads 125°F.
- Remove lamb chops from the skillet and let them rest for about 10 minutes covered loosely with foil to redistribute juices.

Notes
Choose quality meat for best results. Let lamb chops rest to retain juices after cooking.
