Ingredients
1. For the marinade
2. For cooking
Step-by-Step Method
Mix the marinade
In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, salt, curry powder, and sugar until the sugar mostly dissolves.
Marinate the chops
Add the lamb chops and coat them well. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours; flip once or twice so the flavor hits evenly.
Get ready to cook
Take the chops out about 10 minutes before cooking. Lightly blot off excess marinade so the surface sears instead of steaming.
Heat the butter
Warm a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and let it melt and settle.
Pan-sear the lamb chops
Lay the chops in the skillet. Cook 4–6 minutes per side depending on thickness, letting each side brown before turning.
Rest and serve
Move the chops to a plate and rest for 3–5 minutes. Spoon a little of the buttery pan drippings over the top and serve hot.
