DH and I had these chops for dinner a few nights ago. They were really tasty! From Williams-Sonoma "Steak and Chop" cookbook.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 double-cut lamb loin chops, trimmed of excess fat (can also use rib chops)
salt, to taste
fresh ground pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 shallots, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups ruby port
1 cup beef stock (or prepared broth)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chilled unsalted butter (cut into pieces)
salt, to taste
fresh ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees farenheit.
  • Slash the edges of the chops in 2 or 3 places to prevent curling. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
  • Coat the bottom of a large, ovenproof frying pan with the olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. When the oil starts to smoke, add the lamb chops and sear them to a golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes on each side. (Do not crowd the pan; use 2 frying pans if necessary).
  • Transfer the pan(s) to the oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted away from the bone registers 130-135 degrees Farenheit or the chops are a deep pink when cut into near the bone for medium rare, 6-8 minutes.
  • Transfer to a platter and let rest, tented loosely with aluminum foil, while you make the sauce.
  • To make the sauce, drain off all but 1 Tb of drippings from the pan. Add the shallots and garlic and saute, stirring often, until softened, 3-4 minutes. Add the Port and stock and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Whisk in the mustard and then the butter pieces. When the butter has melted and combined and the sauce is smooth, season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer the chops to individual plates, spoon sauce on top, and serve.

Overall, this was a good recipe. The lamb chops were cooked well and the port sauce was flavorful. However, I found the recipe to be a bit too salty for my taste.

The lamb chops were a bit tough, but the port sauce was delicious. I think I'll try this recipe again with a different cut of lamb.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me, and the lamb chops didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. I think I'll stick to simpler recipes in the future.

I followed the recipe exactly and the lamb chops turned out dry and overcooked. The port sauce was also too sweet for my taste.
