- Preheat Oven to 400°F.
- In a cast iron skillet, add about 2 tablespoon olive oil on medium heat, oil has to be very hot. Add lamb chops and sear each side for about 1-2 minutes. Repeat process for the rest of the chops.
- After all the chops have been seared, now transfer to the skillet. Avoid overlapping at this point, like the lamb chop under won't be fully cooked. Now put skillet into the hot oven.
- Bake at 400°F for 2-5( medium rare – medium), or 5-10 minutes (medium well- well done).
- If your skillet couldn't carry all 8 lamb chops, repeat the process with the rest. Make sure you wipe the skillet before putting next batch.

Notes
Notes Make sure they are cut evenly to ensure even cooking. Can also add your favorite seasonings. The longer you marinate, the more tasty it becomes. Ensure the lamb chops reach room temperature before cooking. Do not overcrowd the pan. Avoid overlapping. Allow the baked lamb chops to rest for about 3-5 minutes. This will help them stay juicy and tender.
