Lamb Chop Recipes Oven

LAMB CHOPS IN OVEN (MARINATED)

Steps:

• Make a marinade by mixing the listed ingredients. Completely cover the lamb chops and refrigerate for 1 to 12 hours in a glass container with a lid or sealed plastic bag.
• Preheat the oven to 400 F. Scrape off the marinade from the lamb chops and discard. Pat them dry.
• Over medium-high heat heat an oven-safe heavy bottomed skillet and add 1 tbsp olive oil. Season the chops with salt and pepper and sear them for 1.5 minutes per side.
• Transfer to the oven and cook until the internal temperature reaches 135 F for medium (about 8 minutes), or 125 F for medium-rare (about 6 minutes).
• Take out the chops from the oven, transfer to a plate, cover with foil and let rest for 5 minutes.
• While the chops are resting you can prepare the Dijon Mustard Dill Sauce. In the same skillet where you cooked the chops over medium heat add the cream, mustard and honey. Stir to mix and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, add the dill, stir and transfer to a serving dish. Alternatively add the rested lamb chops to the sauce in the skillet and serve family style.

HOW TO COOK LAMB CHOPS IN THE OVEN

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil with the remaining lamb chop marinade ingredients: lemon juice, crushed garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the lamb chops. Turn them to coat in marinade and press the marinade into the chops. Cover with plastic and marinate at room temperature for 30-60 minutes. (Alternatively, marinate in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight, but let lamb chops sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.)
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large cast iron grill pan over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes, until screaming hot and shimmering. Add the lamb chops in a single layer, fat side down. Sear for 2 minutes, until browned on the bottom, then flip and sear for 2 more minutes until browned on the other side. If making 8 lamb chops as written, you'll need to do a batch of 4 on the stovetop and then the oven (below), then repeat stovetop and oven with the remaining 4.
• Immediately transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast lamb chops for about 2-5 minutes for medium-rare to medium doneness, or about 5-8 minutes for medium-well to well done. (However, cooking above medium is not recommended, as it may taste gamey.)
• Remove lamb chops from the oven and transfer to a plate (do not let them sit in the pan or they will overcook).
• Repeat the sear and oven combination with the remaining lamb chops. (It's best to wipe out the pan in between batches.)
• Tent with foil and rest for 5 minutes per serving. (Temperature will rise an additional 5-10 degrees.)

BAKED LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, combine the eggs and the Worcestershire sauce; stir well. Dip each lamb chop in the sauce and then lightly dredge in the bread crumbs. Then arrange them in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 20 minutes, turn chops over, and cook for 20 more minutes, or to desired doneness.

BEST EVER LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• Combine herbs and salt; rub over lamb chops. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour., Broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 5-8 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°). Serve with mint jelly if desired.

ROASTED LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• Sprinkle the lamb with salt and pepper and place in a gallon-size zip-top bag.
• Whisk 1/3 cup of the olive oil, the rosemary, smashed garlic, lemon juice and some salt and pepper together in a measuring cup. Pour the marinade into the bag with the lamb. Let sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a heavy-duty sheet tray with foil.
• Combine the mustard and honey together in a small bowl and set aside. Add the panko, Parmesan, parsley, chives and the remaining 2 cloves garlic to a small bowl and toss together. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of oil and mix together.
• Heat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and once very hot, sear the lamb, 1 rack at a time, fat-side down first, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and place fat-side up on the prepared sheet tray.
• Brush both racks with the honey mustard and apply each with the panko and herb mixture. Roast the lamb until an instant-read thermometer reads 140 degrees F, for medium, 20 to 25 minutes. Let rest 15 minutes before carving into chops.

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,

OVEN-BROILED LAMB CHOPS WITH GRAVY

Steps:

• Mix wine, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, cilantro, and ginger together in a zip-top freezer bag; add lamb chops. Seal and refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler to high.
• Remove lamb chops from the marinade and shake off excess; transfer chops to a wire rack set in a shallow pan.
• Strain the marinade and save the liquid only. Heat the liquid in a small saucepan to the point of boiling. Stir in flour until a gravy-like consistency is reached. More or less flour can be used to create the desired thickness.
• Broil the lamb chops until medium-rare, 4 1/4 minutes per side (4 1/2 minutes for medium). An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium doneness. Pour a little of the gravy over the chops and serve.
