Ingredients
- 4 lamb loin chops (1 1/4 inches thick)
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 to 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Method
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.
- Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels, then season generously all over with salt and pepper.
- Place a thin film of oil in the bottom of a large ovenproof frying pan and heat over medium-high heat until smoking.
- Add the lamb chops and cook undisturbed until a golden-brown crust forms on the bottom, about 3 minutes.
- Flip and cook undisturbed until the second side is golden brown and crusty, about 3 minutes more.
- Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until the chops register 130 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer for medium rare, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and transfer the chops to a cutting board or serving platter.
- Tent with foil and let rest 5 minutes before serving.
