Balsamic-Glazed Lamb Chops
Ingredients
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 lamb chops (3/4 inch thick)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup minced shallots
  • 1/3 cup aged balsamic vinegar
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
1
Collect all necessary ingredients and prepare them for use.
2
Combine rosemary, thyme, basil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Using your fingers or a spoon, gently work the herbs together to create a uniform mixture.
3
Apply this herb mixture evenly to both sides of the chops, ensuring they are well-coated.
4
Place the prepared chops on a plate and cover them with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Allow them to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes, which will help tenderize the meat.
5
Heat a sufficient amount of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chops and cook them until they reach your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, this should take approximately 3 1/2 minutes per side.
6
To check the internal temperature of the chops, insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the meat. The ideal temperature for medium-rare is 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
7
Transfer the cooked chops to a serving platter and keep them warm until ready to serve.
8
Add sliced shallots to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. This should take about 2 to 3 minutes, or until the shallots are lightly browned.
9
Pour a small amount of vinegar into the pan and bring it to a boil. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits that have accumulated at the bottom of the pan.
10
Add a sufficient amount of broth to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. This should take about 5 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced by half.
11
Remove the skillet from the heat source and stir in melted butter until fully incorporated.
12
Serve the sauce over the cooked chops, and enjoy your meal!
