Keto Lamb Chops Recipe

Ingredients (Serves 4)

• Lamb Chops:
  • 2 pounds lamb chops (8 pieces)
  • ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 sprigs rosemary, chopped
  • 4 sprigs thyme, chopped
  • 2-3 dried sage leaves
  • 2-3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons clarified butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Equipment Needed

• Large mixing bowl
• Cast-iron skillet or grill
• Spatula or tongs
• Measuring spoons
• Knife and cutting board
• Meat thermometer

Instructions

1. Prepare the Lamb Chops:
   • In a large mixing bowl, season the lamb chops with sea salt, black pepper, chopped rosemary, thyme, and sage. Add the minced garlic and mix well to coat the lamb chops evenly.
2. Marinate:
   • Let the seasoned lamb chops marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse the meat. For best results, marinate in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
3. Heat the Skillet:
   • Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add clarified butter and olive oil to the skillet and allow them to melt and combine.
4. Cook the Lamb Chops:
   • Place the lamb chops in a single layer in the hot skillet. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes for medium-rare doneness, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Adjust the cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness.
5. Rest the Lamb Chops:
   • Remove the cooked lamb chops from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
6. Serve:
   • Serve the lamb chops hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Pair with your favorite keto side dish, such as steamed vegetables or a refreshing salad.
