Steps:
- In a large skillet over medium-high temperature, heat olive oil until glistening.
- Meanwhile combine oregano, rosemary, basil, sage, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
- Sprinkle rub mixture evenly onto both sides of chops and gently rub/pat until it adheres to the chops.
- Fry chops for 5-8 minutes on each side for medium-rare or until desired doneness is reached.
Tips:
- To ensure the lamb chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, the internal temperature should reach 135°F (57°C).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also use the touch test to check the doneness of the lamb chops. For medium-rare, the chops should feel slightly firm to the touch.
- Let the lamb chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
- Serve the lamb chops with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
