Wash lamb chops and pat them dry with a paper towel. Bring the lamb chops to room temperature.
8 lamb chops
Preheat over to 400℉.
Drizzle olive oil on both sides of the lamb chops. Season with salt and pepper.
¼ cup olive oil, 1 tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper
In a large frying pan, heat 1 tbsp of oil. Add the chops and cook for 3 minutes per side or until brown.
Spray a 9x13 glass baking dish with olive oil. Transfer the lamb chops to the baking dish.
Bake for 9-12 minutes for medium rare (or 135℉), 15-18 minutes for medium (or 150℉) and 20-22 for well (or 160℉).
Remove the lamb chops from the oven and let them rest for 3 minutes. The internal temperature after the rest time for medium rare should reach 145℉, 160℉ for medium and 170℉ for well.
