Prepare the Ingredients
Begin by patting the rib lamb chops dry with paper towels. This ensures a good sear. Mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh rosemary leaves finely.

Season the Lamb Chops
In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Add the lamb chops to the bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss everything together until the lamb chops are evenly coated in the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
Cooking

Pan Roast the Chops
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated lamb chops to the skillet in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Sear the chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are nicely browned and reach your desired level of doneness.

Rest the Chops
Once cooked, remove the lamb chops from the skillet and transfer them to a plate. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and let them rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat more tender.

Plate and Serve
Serve the lamb chops warm, garnished with additional rosemary if desired. They pair beautifully with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
