If you often visit my site, you know that I love garlic butter sauce by the amount of recipes I post using it (Garlic Butter Baked Chicken Breast, Garlic Butter Salmon in Foil, Easy Garlic Butter Mushroom Skillet, Garlic Butter Baked Pork Chops and Garlic Butter Trout in Foil).

What is the internal temperature for this Lamp Chops recipe?
For me, lamb tastes best once it’s cook to medium, which means the internal temperature is 145ºF. Measure it by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the lamb chop.
If you prefer rare, the ideal temperature is 130˚F. For medium rare is 135˚F, for medium well is 160˚F and for well done the ideal temperature is 165˚F.

Garlic Butter Lamb Chops
Ingredients
- 5 lamb loin chops
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons grass-fed butter — melted — use ghee if you're doing whole30
- 3 cloves garlic — minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme — chopped
Instructions
- Remove loin chops from the fridge 20-30 minutes before cooking.
- Place them on a paper towel-lined cutting board and pat them dry with paper towels. Season well with salt and pepper.
- Heat a dry 12-inch cast iron skillet* over a medium high heat. In the skillet, place the chops narrow fat side down. You probably will need to use tongs to keep them balanced and to press the chops down so that the fat renders and turns crisp and brown. It’s about 5 minutes.
- Once the fat has melted into the pan, lay the chops flat on one of their sides. Cook for another 3 minutes, until browned, then turn and cook on the other side.
- Turn the heat to medium-low. Using a spoon, pour off most of the lamb fat and then add 2 tablespoons off butter (or ghee), garlic and thyme.
- Stir well until the butter is foaming, and spoon the butter over the lamb for a minute or so. Place lamp chops in a serving dish and pour butter sauce on top. Enjoy!
