Willow Bend Lamb Recipe

Prepare the Lamb Chops

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the double bone lamb chops with salt and black pepper. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Sear the Chops

Add the lamb chops to the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until nicely browned. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.

Roast the Garlic

In the same skillet, add the whole garlic cloves and thyme. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Make the Jus

Pour in the red wine and beef stock, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Bring to a simmer and let reduce for 5 minutes.

Finish in the Oven

Return the lamb chops to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over them. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 10-12 minutes for medium-rare doneness.

Rest and Serve

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the lamb chops rest for about 5 minutes. Serve with the roasted garlic thyme jus drizzled over the top.
