Mediterranean Lamb Chops
These mediterranean lamb chops are so juicy and flavorful with notes of oregano, garlic, and lemon in each bite.
Serves 8 Lamb chops
Ingredients
- 8 Lamb Chops, patted dry
- Salt & Pepper to preference
- 1 tbsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tbsp Lemon Pepper
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 1/2 A lemon's juice
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp Dried Oregano
- 1 tbsp Avocado or Grapeseed oil Any oil with a high smoke point will do. Alternatively, these lamb chops can be grilled.
Instructions
- Season each lamb chop on both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and lemon pepper.
- Create the wet marinade by mixing together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano.
- Place the lamb chops in a ziplock bag and pour the marinade into the bag making sure to rub each chop with the marinade.
- Seal the bag and let this marinate for at least 4 hours but for best results overnight.
- Take the lamb chops out 30 min prior to cooking to allow the muscles in the meat to relax and therefore create a more tender bite once cooked.
- Heat a nonstick pan and add the avocado or grape seed oil to the pan.
- Once the pan is hot, add the lamb chops but make sure not to overcrowd the pan. Press down with a spatula for a few seconds to get a nice sear on the lamb chop. Let this cook for about 5 minutes each side or to your liking on doneness. You should achieve a gorgeous sear on both sides and a juicy lamb chop!
- Pair with your favorite sides like potatoes and/or salad for a complete meal!
