Equipment

  • skillet

Ingredients
  

Lamb Chops

  • 750 g lamb chops (loin chops, forequarter, cutlets)

Lamb Chop Marinade

  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon rosemary leaves finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper

Gravy

  • 2 cups beef stock low sodium
  • 3 tablespoon flour plain/all purpose
  • 1 tablespoon rosemary leaves finely chopped
  • 2 sprigs rosemary optional

Instructions
 

Marinade

  • Mix Marinade ingredients together, then pour over chops. Turn to coat and leave to marinade for at least 1 hour, preferably 3 hours or overnight.

Cooking

  • Take lamb out of fridge 30 minutes prior to cooking (to bring to room temp).
  • Heat a large skillet over high heat (no oil needed).
  • Pick up a chop, scrape off excess bits of garlic (it burns) and let excess oil drip off. Place in skillet. Once all chops are in, turn heat down to medium high.
  • Cook loin chops & forequarter chops for 4 minutes each side, or until internal temp is 62°C/145°F for medium rare.
  • Cook cutlets & thin leg steaks for 3 minutes on the first side then 2 minutes on the second side.
  • Remove lamb from skillet and place on a platter. Loosely cover with foil and rest for 3 minutes while you make the gravy.

Gravy

  • Pour off all but about 3 tablespoon oil, return skillet to medium heat.
  • Add flour and stir for 30 seconds.
  • Pour in beef stock while stirring constantly to dissolve flour mixture in. If you have lumps, use a whisk.
  • Add chopped rosemary and sprig.
  • Simmer, stirring regularly, for 2 - 3 minutes until it thickens in a gravy consistency.

Serving

  • Serve lamb chops with gravy over creamy mashed potato and a side of peas!

Notes

Garlic and rosemary burns when seared. Just brush off what you can before placing in skillet, then brush off any stray bits before plating up.
