Ingredients
- ½ onion sliced
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound lamb chops
Instructions
- Combine the onion, vinegar, olive oil, garlic, and salt in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add the lamb chops and marinate in the refrigerator for an hour.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- In an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, sear lamb chops for about 3 minutes per side.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 6 to 8 minutes, until done (the lamb should register 140°F on a meat thermometer at its thickest point).
Notes
Marinate the lamb for at least an hour, but for deeper flavor, let it sit for up to 24 hours.
Take the lamb out of the fridge 15 to 20 minutes before cooking for even doneness.
A properly preheated skillet ensures a perfect sear and locks in juices.
For tender lamb, aim for an internal temperature of 140°F for medium-rare.
Let the chops sit for 5 minutes after cooking to keep them juicy.
