Ingredients
For the Garlic Butter Lamb Chops
4 lamb chops (about 1-inch thick)
3 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Cheesy Baked Potato
2 large baking potatoes
2 tablespoons butter
¼ cup milk or cream
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: chives or parsley for garnish
For the Steamed Broccoli
1 cup broccoli florets
Salt, to taste
A squeeze of lemon (optional)
Step 1: Prepare the Baked Potato
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and poke holes in the potatoes with a fork.
Rub with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
Bake directly on the oven rack for 45–50 minutes, until tender.
Slice open, mash the inside with butter and milk, then top with shredded cheese. Keep warm.
Step 2: Steam the Broccoli
While the potatoes bake, steam broccoli florets for 4–5 minutes until tender but still crisp.
Sprinkle lightly with salt and a squeeze of lemon juice for freshness.
Step 3: Cook the Garlic Butter Lamb Chops
Season lamb chops generously with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear lamb chops 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust timing for thickness).
Reduce heat, add butter, garlic, and herbs, and baste lamb with the melted butter for extra flavor.
Let rest for 3–5 minutes before serving.
Step 4: Plate and Serve
Place a garlic butter lamb chop on each plate.
Add a cheesy baked potato on the side and a portion of steamed broccoli.
Spoon any remaining garlic butter from the pan over the lamb for a glossy, flavorful finish.
