Cooking Lamb Dishes at Home: Pan-Seared Lamb Chops
My gourmet pan-seared lamb chops with red wine sauce and roasted root vegetables is one of the tastiest lamb recipes you cooked ever!
➡️ Cooking lamb and even mutton is a real pleasure for me, especially when it comes to spring lamb, which I simply adore. As such, I cook spring lamb whenever I have the opportunity and in any form: roast, stew or its Hungarian version called paprikash, schnitzel, and, of course, soup. There is no doubt that I also like lamb ragu or pan-fried lamb recipes such as the one shared on this page, pan-seared lamb chops in a red wine sauce.

Gourmet Pan-Seared Lamb Chops with Red Wine Sauce and Roasted Root Vegetables
Ingredients
For the lamb chops:
- 8 lamb chops, about 1 inch thick
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- salt and black pepper, to taste
For the red wine sauce:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tbsp butter
For the roasted root vegetables:
- 4 carrots, peeled and sliced
- 4 parsnips, peeled and sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
- salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Season the lamb chops with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, and minced garlic. Rub the mixture over both sides of the lamb chops.
- Heat a large skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the lamb chops and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until browned and crispy. Remove the lamb chops from the skillet and place them on a baking sheet.
- Roast the lamb chops in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
- While the lamb chops are roasting, make the red wine sauce. Heat a saucepan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté until softened.
- Pour in the red wine and beef broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes, until it has reduced by half.
- Remove the sauce from heat and whisk in the butter until it is fully melted and incorporated.
- To roast the root vegetables, toss the sliced carrots and parsnips with olive oil, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and caramelized.
- Serve the lamb chops with the red wine sauce and roasted root vegetables.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the lamb chops are cooked to the desired level of doneness. This will help you avoid overcooking the meat, which can result in a tough and dry texture.
- Make sure that the pan is hot enough before adding the lamb chops. A hot pan will help create a crispy and caramelized exterior on the meat, while a pan that is not hot enough will result in steamed or boiled lamb chops.
- When roasting the root vegetables, make sure that they are evenly sliced so that they cook at the same rate. This will help ensure that they are all tender and caramelized by the time they are finished cooking.
- Be sure to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan when making the red wine sauce. These bits are packed with flavor and can help enhance the overall taste of the sauce.
- Before serving, garnish the dish with some fresh herbs, such as chopped parsley or thyme. This will add a pop of color and freshness to the dish, while also adding some extra flavor.
