Best Lamb Chops Au Gratin Recipes

LAMB CHOPS WITH ROSEMARY AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Check for doneness: At this point, if you want your lamb chops rare, they are likely cooked enough. If you would like your chops more cooked, you can put them in a 400°F oven for 3 to 5 minutes, or keep them in the hot pan, lower the heat to warm, and cover the pan for a few minutes. Note that rib chops are so small, and cook so quickly, checking for internal temperature with a thermometer can be impractical. For this reason I use the finger test to check the doneness of the chops. That said, if you have an instant read thermometer and want to check thick chops, aim for 125°F for rare, 135°F medium-rare, and 140°F for medium.
• Rest the chops: When done, remove the chops from the pan, cover with foil and let rest 3 to 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Broil or grill the chops for 5-10 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness.
• Remove and keep warm.
• Melt the butter in a non-stick pan, add the onions and cook until soft.
• Add the beer and herbs and boil for 1 minute, stir in the cream and heat through.
• Remove from the heat, add the cheese and chives and stir until melted.
• Pour over the chops and serve immediately.

OVEN-ROASTED LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Cut away excess fat from the lamb chops (some fat does add flavor). Coat each chop lightly in olive oil. Dust lamb chops with garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Place lamb chops in a cast iron skillet.
• Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium-well doneness.
• Remove from the oven and cover tightly with foil; let rest for 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with mint jelly on the side,
