Ingredients

  • 8 lamb chops (about 1-inch thick)

  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • Salt, to taste

  • Black pepper, to taste

Directions

  • Marinate the Lamb: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, rosemary, garlic, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the lamb chops, making sure they’re well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to overnight in the refrigerator for more profound flavor.
  • Preheat the Grill (or Skillet): Preheat your grill or a cast-iron skillet to medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a bit of olive oil to coat the bottom lightly.
  • Cook the Lamb Chops: Place the lamb chops on the grill or in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness. Lamb chops should have a nice sear on the outside while still being pink in the center.
  • Rest Before Serving: Once cooked to your liking, remove the lamb chops from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring each bite is moist and flavorful.
  • Serve: Serve the lamb chops warm, optionally garnishing with additional fresh rosemary for a burst of flavor and a touch of elegance.

Ingredients

  • 1 pork tenderloin (about 1 to 1.5 pounds)

  • Salt, to taste

  • Black pepper, to taste

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped

  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • For the Garlic Butter Sauce

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

  • Prep the Pork: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the pork tenderloin generously with salt and pepper.
  • Create the Herb Crust: In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, and Dijon mustard. Rub this mixture all over the pork tenderloin, ensuring it’s well-coated.
  • Sear the Tenderloin: Heat a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork tenderloin and sear it on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Roast: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast the pork tenderloin for 15-20 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the tenderloin reads 145°F (63°C). Once done, transfer the pork to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  • Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce: While the pork is resting, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the chopped parsley, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve: Slice the pork tenderloin and drizzle it with the garlic butter sauce. Serve immediately.
