- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Place the seasoned chops in the skillet, fat-side down, pressing lightly until it's crispy, about 5 minutes.
- Flip the chops and sear each side for an additional 3 minutes, ensuring they are beautifully browned.
- Lower the heat to medium-low and spoon off excess fat. Add the unsalted butter, minced garlic, and chopped thyme to the skillet. Stir until the butter foams and spoon this over the chops for 1 minute.
- Transfer the chops to a serving dish and drizzle the remaining garlic butter sauce over the top. Serve warm.
Notes
For best results, allow the lamb chops to rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain juices. Regularly spoon the garlic butter over the chops while cooking for enhanced flavor.
