- Cover with a cloth or plastic and let it marinate for 1 hour in the refrigerator, but should come back to room temperature before cooking.
- Preheat the Oven to 400°F.
- In a cast iron skillet, add about 2 tbsp olive oil on medium heat, oil has to be very hot. Add lamb chops and sear each side for about 2 minutes till brown. Repeat the process for the rest of the chops.
- After all the chops have been seared, now transfer to the skillet. Avoid overlapping at this point, like the lamb chop under won’t be fully cooked. Now put the skillet into the hot oven.
- Bake at 400°F for 2-5( medium rare – medium), or 5-10 minutes (medium well- well done).
- If your skillet couldn’t carry all 8 lamb chops, repeat the process with the rest. Make sure you wipe the skillet before putting the next batch.
