Step-by-Step Instructions for Juicy Garlic Butter Lamb Chops
  1. Prepare Lamb Chops: Take lamb chops out of the refrigerator, allow to reach room temperature for 20-30 minutes, pat dry, and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  2. Sear Chops: Heat cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes. Add olive oil and sear lamb chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
  3. Baste: Reduce heat to medium, add butter, minced garlic, and rosemary to skillet. Baste chops for 2-3 minutes until coated with garlic butter.
  4. Check Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature, aiming for 130°F for medium-rare, approximately 5-7 minutes after basting. Tent with foil to rest.
  5. Rest and Serve: Let lamb rest for 5-7 minutes, squeeze fresh lemon juice over chops, and serve hot.
