Ingredients:

2 pounds lamb chops or bone-in pork chops, cut ¾” thick (4 pieces)
Kosher salt, for seasoning
Black pepper, for seasoning
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary (or 2/3 teaspoon dried rosemary)
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme (or 2/3 teaspoon dried thyme)
½ teaspoon chopped parsley
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, vegetable oil, or avocado oil, divided

Directions:

Marinate the Lamb Chops: Season both sides of the lamb chops (or bone-in pork chops) generously with kosher salt and black pepper. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, chopped parsley, and 2 tablespoons of your chosen oil. Rub the herb paste on both sides of the lamb chops, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
Sear the Surface: Heat a large 12″ frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Once hot, carefully add the marinated lamb chops to the pan. Sear the chops until the surface is browned, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Check for Doneness: Flip the lamb chops and cook until the internal temperature reaches 125°F (51°C) for medium-rare or 135°F (57°C) for medium, about 3 to 4 minutes. You can check the temperature using a meat thermometer.
Rest the Meat: Remove the lamb chops from the pan and let them rest for 10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and juicy result.

Serve these adaptable marinated lamb chops with your favorite side dishes for a meal that’s sure to impress!
