Garlic and Herb Lamb Chops (VIDEO)

Pan-seared Lamb Chops have a flavorful garlic and herb crust with a juicy and tender center. These holiday-worthy lamb chops are simple and excellent and wait until you try the easy 2-ingredient pan sauce!

I’ve had so many requests for a good lamb chops recipe over the years and this one is truly delicious. Pair this with Au Gratin Potatoes and Roasted Asparagus for a showstopping dinner.

We definitely have our go-to favorites for holiday meals like Baked Ham, Prime Rib Roast or Juicy Roast Turkey. If you are a fan of lamb recipes, these pan-seared lamb chops are a must-try.

The method is straightforward and the pan sauce adds amazing flavor without being too spicy. My kids even loved this and kept coming back for little bites of juicy lamb, which tells you it wasn’t too spicy, but oh so flavorful!

Sliced piece of lamb chop to show juicy center

Ingredients

  • Lamb rib chops – about 8-count, cut from a Frenched rack of lamb
  • Garlic cloves – we use plump garlic (don’t skimp on it)
  • Olive oil – I use light olive oil so it doesn’t get too smokey on the skillet when searing.
  • Parsley – we use fresh parsley in the marinade and more for garnish. You can substitute with 2 tsp of dried parsley for the marinade if you prefer.
  • Tabasco Sauce – contains vinegar which tenderizes the meat and adds extra flavor. You can leave it out if you prefer.
  • Seasonings – Salt, pepper, and dried thyme ensure the meat is perfectly seasoned.
  • Chicken Stock – you’ll need this for the sauce, or you can substitute it with beef stock.
  • Butter – swirled in at the end for a richer pan sauce.

Pro Tip: Frenched means part of the meat/fat has been cut away on the bone side to expose the bones. If it’s not pre-sold this way, ask your butcher to do it for you. 

Where to Buy Lamb Chops?

We purchased the lamb at Costco – a recommendation from my husband’s cousin, Angelina who is a big fan of lamb and actually inspired this recipe. We prefer to cut Lamb rib chops from a full rack because they look a little fancier with the little rib handle.

Can I use Lamb Loin Chops?

This recipe also works well with lamb loin chops and can be a little less expensive. I’ve tested both the lamb loin and lamb rib chops and both work. Since loin chops are typically thicker, they take slightly longer to cook. You might consider finishing them off in the oven at 350˚F for 5-10 minutes after searing them on the skillet. Doneness temperatures in the chart below will remain the same.

How to Cook Lamb Chops

  1. Prep – Thoroughly pat lamb chops dry with paper towels, wiping away any possible bone fragments or shards. Slice between ribs to separate chops, cutting them into even portions (3/4″ to 1″ thick).
  2. Make Marinade – In a measuring cup, stir together garlic, olive oil, parsley, Tabasco, salt, pepper and thyme.
  3. Marinate – Place chops in a non-reactive casserole dish and pour marinade over the chops. Rub the marinade all over the chops, then cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  4. Cook Lamb Chops – Remove chops from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Heat a large heavy pan over high heat. Add 1 Tbsp oil to the hot pan. Add chops and sear for 2-4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the chops and desired doneness (see chart below). Sautee in 2 batches if needed.
  5. Rest Transfer to a platter, tent with foil and rest the lamb chops for 5 minutes while making the pan sauce.
  6. Make Pan Sauce – Leave 1 to 2 Tbsp oil in the pan, being careful not to remove the drippings and flavorings. Add 1/2 cup stock and simmer 2 min. Turn off the heat then swirl in butter. Spoon sauce over lamb chops and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Lamb Chops Temperature Guide

From our experience, at 3 minutes per side, lamb chops will be medium doneness and at 4 minutes per side, they will be medium-well to well done. Cook until your desired doneness is reached and an instant-read thermometer registers 5 degrees below the desired temperature

  • Rare – remove at 125˚F to get a final resting temperature of 130˚F.
  • Medium-Rare – remove at 130˚F for a final temp of 135˚F
  • Medium – remove at 140˚F for a final temp of 145˚F
  • Medium-Well – remove at 155˚F for a final temp of 160˚F
  • Well Done – Remove at 160˚F for a final temp of 165˚F (the meat will get tough when well done so we don’t recommend this)

Pro Tip: The USDA recommends a safe cooking temperature for lamb of 145˚F. Checking lamb doneness is similar to a good steak – it’s pretty red when rare and has little to no pink when well done. Lamb is best when cooked to medium doneness.

Lamb chops in skillet
These lamb chops are seared, forming a browned crust of garlic and herbs and wait till you try the easy 2-ingredient pan sauce which will completely win you over!
Prep Time: 7 minutes
Cook Time: 8 minutes
Marinating Time: 1 hour
Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients 

Servings: 4 people, with 2 lamb chops per serving
  • 2 lbs lamb rib chops, 8 count, cut from a rack of Frenched lamb ribs
  • 5 plump garlic cloves, pressed
  • 4 Tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 2 Tbsp fresh parsley, plus more for garnish (or use 2 tsp dried parsley)
  • 2 tsp Tabasco original red pepper sauce
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt, we used sea salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme

For the Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup chicken stock, or beef stock
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

How to Make Lamb Chops with Garlic Butter Sauce:

  • Thoroughly pat lamb chops dry with paper towels, wiping away any possible bone fragments or shards. Slice between ribs to separate chops, cutting into 3/4″ or 1″ thick even portions.
  • Stir together marinade ingredients in a measuring cup: 5 pressed garlic cloves, 3 Tbsp olive oil, 2 Tbsp parsley, 2 tsp Tabasco, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper and 1/4 tsp thyme.
  • Place lamb chops in a non-reactive casserole dish, pour over the marinade, and rub all sides of lamb chops (focusing on meaty portions) with marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Remove lamb chops from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Place a large heavy pan over high heat and add 1 Tbsp oil. Once the oil is hot, add chops and sear for 2-4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of chops and desired doneness on a thermometer; keep in mind temp rises 5 degrees as it rests (see notes). Sautee in 2 batches if needed. Transfer to a serving plate, tent with foil, and rest for 5 minutes while making the pan sauce.

To make pan sauce:

  • Spoon out excess oil from the pan (leave in 1 to 2 Tbsp oil), being careful not to remove the drippings and flavorings.
  • Add 1/2 cup stock and simmer 2 min. Turn off heat then swirl in 2 Tbsp softened butter, 1 tablespoon at a time. Spoon sauce over lamb chops and garnish with more parsley if desired.

    We had this tonight, and it was fabulous! I only cooked six chops, and used pre minced garlic in the marinade, adding two sliced cloves in the frying pan for the marinade. My wife said she never liked lamb, but it was very tender and tasted like tenderloin. She loved it!

      Hi Annette, We prefer to cut Lamb rib chops from a full rack because they look a little fancier with the little rib handle.

        This was excellent. Lamb was outstanding after marinating for 4 hrs and cooked in a cast iron skillet. I sautéed a chopped, small shallot in the pan then used a 1/4 c of white wine to deglaze the pan before adding chicken broth, butter plus juice from resting chops… next time will double gravy.

    Just did a rack of lamb on the grill last night. Rubbed with olive oil, salt, pepper and thyme. Preheated grill to 350-450 indirect. Covered bone ends w/foil. Seared over direct heat about 1 1/2 min each side, then moved to indirect for 7 1/2 min per side. Let rest tented for 5 min. Slice apart. It was medium rare. Next time I will try your marinade/rub.

    Made with lamb rib chops last night. I really was a bit worried about the Tabasco sauce, but was pleasantly amazed at the finished meal. Even my other half raved about it and he HATES Tabasco sauce or anything hot. It makes some of my Mexican dishes quite the challenge. This is a keeper.

    Made this for Easter and it did not disappoint. Everything was easy to do and the flavor from the chops was out of this world. We also get our lamb at Costco and usually on get the saratoga style lamb chops and grill with a marinate olive oil, mint and balsamic. They turn out great but this is my new favorite way. I will be changing and getting the rack and cutting to chops from now on. Sooo Good

    I made these for Easter dinner and they were DELICIOUS!! I marinated them for about 13 hours and cooked them 3-4 minutes per side. They turned out great. We usually only eat lamb at Easter but this recipe makes me want to make them more often. Perfection! Thanks so much Natasha!

      Hi Sharon, I haven’t tried it with leg of lamb but I think it would depend on the size of your cut. If it is about 7 lbs, you might want to double the recipe. Let me know how you like it with that cut.

    Hey, I love your blog and recipes. I’m from South Africa and live on a sheep farm. I made your lamb chops as an appetizer at a dinner party and they were a hit.

      Hi Lena, the drippings have so much flavor, it may be a little bland without and may need seasoning if using without. I hope you like that!

    Quick and easy with great taste. Marinated mine overnight in a bag. Also, when making the sauce I did away with ALL the oil, increased the broth to 2/3 cup and added 1 tsp arrowroot to thicken into a gravy. Then added hand full of sliced morel mushrooms. Served the chops over bed of garlic roasted mash potatoes

    The only item that I see-sense- is the Chops from Costco there is a hint of undesirable flavor from the lamb-what they are fed! so I use American Lamb and ‘who knew’ there is no “lambie” flavor. Other than that the recipe.is great.Thanks…BC
