Ingredients
Scale
Gather these ingredients for a meal that’s straightforward but never short on flavor:
- 8 lamb chops, about 1 inch thick
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped (optional)
If you’re out of soy sauce, feel free to substitute with tamari for a gluten-free option. And if rosemary isn’t your thing, thyme makes a lovely alternative.
Instructions
Follow these steps for a dish that’s impressively easy to bring to the table:
- Start by patting the lamb chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar until well combined.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the lamb chops and sear for about 3 minutes on each side, until they develop a nice golden crust.
- Reduce the heat to medium and pour the honey garlic mixture over the chops. Let them cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the sauce has thickened and the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness.
- If using rosemary, sprinkle it over the chops in the last minute of cooking for an aromatic finish.
- Remove the chops from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring every bite is tender and juicy.
Remember, cooking is as much about feel as it is about following steps. Trust your instincts and you’ll do great!
