Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the lamb chops by taking them out of the fridge to come to room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
  2. Pat the lamb chops dry and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Sear the lamb chops in the hot skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. Add butter, minced garlic, and rosemary to the skillet, and baste the chops for 1-2 minutes as the butter melts.
  6. Check the internal temperature of the lamb chops with a meat thermometer; aim for around 130°F for medium-rare.
  7. Let the chops rest for 5-7 minutes before serving to lock in juices.
  8. Serve with freshly squeezed lemon juice to enhance flavors.
