Step-by-Step Instructions
Marinate the Chops
Rub the lamb chops with olive oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Let marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes (or refrigerate overnight).
Sear in hot pan
Heat a heavy skillet (cast iron is best) over high heat. Sear the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side until a crust forms and they are cooked to medium-rare (internal temp 135°F/57°C). Remove chops and let rest.
Glaze and Serve
Pour the red wine into the hot pan, scraping up the browned bits, and simmer until it reduces into a rich, dark glaze. Drizzle the red wine reduction over the rested chops and serve hot.

The recipe sears 3-4 minutes per side to reach 135°F for medium-rare. Let the chops rest a few minutes after searing so the juices redistribute.
Yes. The recipe gives two options: 20 minutes at room temperature or refrigerated overnight. The longer rest deepens the rosemary-garlic flavor.
It is optional but easy, since it uses the browned bits already in the skillet. You can deglaze with extra stock instead of wine if you prefer.
Resting lets the juices settle back through the meat instead of running out on the cutting board, keeping every chop tender.
