How To Cook Lamb Chops In The Oven Recipes

LAMB CHOPS IN OVEN (MARINATED)

Steps:

• Make a marinade by mixing the listed ingredients. Completely cover the lamb chops and refrigerate for 1 to 12 hours in a glass container with a lid or sealed plastic bag.
• Preheat the oven to 400 F. Scrape off the marinade from the lamb chops and discard. Pat them dry.
• Over medium-high heat heat an oven-safe heavy bottomed skillet and add 1 tbsp olive oil. Season the chops with salt and pepper and sear them for 1.5 minutes per side.
• Transfer to the oven and cook until the internal temperature reaches 135 F for medium (about 8 minutes), or 125 F for medium-rare (about 6 minutes).
• Take out the chops from the oven, transfer to a plate, cover with foil and let rest for 5 minutes.
• While the chops are resting you can prepare the Dijon Mustard Dill Sauce. In the same skillet where you cooked the chops over medium heat add the cream, mustard and honey. Stir to mix and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, add the dill, stir and transfer to a serving dish. Alternatively add the rested lamb chops to the sauce in the skillet and serve family style.

OVEN-ROASTED LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Cut away excess fat from the lamb chops (some fat does add flavor). Coat each chop lightly in olive oil. Dust lamb chops with garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Place lamb chops in a cast iron skillet.
• Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium-well doneness.
• Remove from the oven and cover tightly with foil; let rest for 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with mint jelly on the side,
