Description
THE CUT
Lamb rib chops come from the upper back portion of the lamb ribs and they are sometimes left whole and sold as rack of lamb. We have them cut into chops so they can be more easily prepared and enjoyed in smaller portions. The eye of meat at the end of the rib chop is incredibly tender, basically the ribeye of the lamb, perhaps only second in tenderness to the meat of loin chops. The meat near the thin part of the rib chop is slightly less tender and more fatty, and is sometimes cut off (and hopefully prepared in some other fashion) so the bone can become a handle of sorts. We have this left on when cut, so you can prepare it as you wish.
PREPARATION
Remove your chops from the packaging and pat dry. Allow your chops to sit at room temperature for one hour and then heavily season with salt. Heat a cast iron skillet on high heat and add oil. Once the oil is hot, place the chops in the skillet and begin flipping them every 15-20 seconds. When the chops are nearly ready, add butter to the skillet and continue flipping them every 15-20 seconds until your chops have reached an internal temperature of 125 degrees (for medium-rare). Remove chops from the skillet and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
This gradual and progressive searing technique will sear the outside of your chops without overcooking areas just under the exterior. If wish to sear the edges of your chops, using tongs, hold the chops as appropriate against the pan for 15 seconds at the end of cooking.
