Lamb Chops

Demi-Glace

Mashed Potatoes

Method

Lamb Chops

  1. 1

    Prepare the marinade

    In a bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate the lamb

    Rub the marinade over the lamb chops and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

  3. 3

    Cook the lamb

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the lamb chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness.

Demi-Glace

  1. 4

    Sauté shallots

    In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add finely chopped shallots and sauté until translucent.

  2. 5

    Add liquids

    Pour in the red wine and beef stock, and add thyme. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Let it cook until reduced by half.

  3. 6

    Finish the sauce

    Strain the sauce through a fine mesh sieve, return to the pan, and whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until emulsified.

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 7

    Boil the potatoes

    Peel and cube the potatoes. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 8

    Mash the potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Assembly

  1. 9

    Plate the dish

    Spoon a generous portion of mashed potatoes onto each plate, top with lamb chops, and drizzle with demi-glace. Serve immediately.
