Notes
Lamb is best enjoyed at medium or medium-rare. This recipe will produce a medium chop.
Choose lamb loin chops that have thick ribbons of fat for the most flavor. Optionally remove your lamb from the refrigerator and allow to rest at room temperature for 30-45 minutes before cooking. Letting your lamb reach room temperature allows the meat to relax, compared to when it’s cold, it tenses up. Lamb is a meat that cooks quickly and can dry out easily, therefore it’s best to have it at room temperature so that it evenly cooks.
Lamb loin chops are considered safe to eat at 145F. I recommend cooking the loin chops to an internal temperature of 135F and allowing them to rest for 3-5 minutes. The temperature should rise around 10 degrees as it sits. An internal temperature of 145F will yield a medium-rare chop and 150F will yield medium.
Store cooled leftovers in an air-tight container kept in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
