Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in lamb chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Marinate the lamb: Combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add lamb chops and coat well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Sear the lamb: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each side of the lamb chops for about 3-4 minutes until browned.
  3. Check doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature; aim for 145°F for medium-rare.
  4. Prepare garlic green beans: In another skillet over medium heat, sauté minced garlic in olive oil until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add green beans and sauté until tender-crisp (5-7 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Serve: Arrange lamb chops on a platter alongside garlic green beans. Garnish with additional lemon wedges if desired.

Nutrition

Keywords: For a twist, substitute rosemary with thyme or add chili flakes to the green beans for extra heat. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat lamb in a preheated oven at 350°F and quickly sauté green beans in olive oil.
