BALSAMIC BROWN SUGAR LAMB CHOPS

I cannot get enough of my Omaha Steaks balsamic brown sugar lamb chops.  In fact, if someone told me I had to eat this dish for three months straight, I would personally thank them!

MY LOVE FOR LAMB CHOPS

I have been a lamb lover for as long as I can remember, which isn’t that long honestly considering that my family could not get me to try lamb until I was a teenager. Lamb just seemed so strange to me back then. I didn’t want it near me. It wasn’t until I was completely tricked one Christmas (the same thing happened to me with venison) when my Uncle B.B. made lamb shanks bathed in the most sensational gravy. I had no idea what it was and no one told me. After polishing it off, my family told what I just ate, and I’ve been eating lamb ever since.

Learn how to cook lamb chops with this close up of the best lamb chop recipe pictured here resting on a white plate.

SAUCE FOR LAMB CHOPS

The inspiration for these lamb chops came from wanting something sweet mixed with savory.
Brown sugar is such a perfect complement especially when paired with balsamic vinegar. They really bring out the intensity of the dish, not that these chops need anything extra since they come from Omaha Steaks and are pretty darn perfect regardless.

HOW TO COOK LAMB CHOPS

For this lamb chop recipe, you must sear the lamb chops in a pan with olive oil over medium high heat on your stove top. Let the pan get hot and season the chops on both sides with salt and pepper before beginning the searing process. It shouldn’t take any more than two minutes on each side to sear the chops. Once seared, let chops rest and turn the heat down to medium low. Next, add minced garlic to the pan and cook it for one minute. Then, add the chops back to the pan after you’ve created your lamb chop sauce. Continue to cook the lamb chops until your desired doneness.

I will be rolling out this recipe for entertaining and maybe for my anniversary along with my easy homemade garlic bread recipe, southern baked macaroni and cheese, fried corn, jollof rice or red beans and rice. It is the perfect dish for a special occasion, and like I said, the flavor is out of this world decadent.

  8. Wow Jocelyn, these lamb chops were fabulous! We raise our own lamb, chicken & turkey as well so we’re always looking for different recipes. We served these chops with broccoli and fried potatoes – fried sweet potatoes would have been much better but I made pie with them yesterday ?! What side dishes did you serve? Thanks very much, I’ll be keeping this recipe❣

    • I’m super glad you enjoyed them! They are one of my fave dishes as well. We served them with the squash and potato gratin that is also on my website. So good!

  11. Thanks for featuring my insta post!!! I didn’t know where else to thank you. The lamb chops were definitely outstanding. Even my husband liked them and he doesn’t like lamb that much. High five!!!! – xoxo mmmhill22

  12. Wow, this was the first recipe on Pinterest that I pulled up. Love the cayenne touch. I thought it would be too sweet but it was on point. This is definitely a keeper whenever I have Lamb Chops. My husband says this was mouth watering.

  14. Been looking at this recipe for a couple days now. Finally decided to make it today… I made it with just a small tweak. Chop up 1 dried red chili and mix in with this sauce before basting the lamb. Its not spicy, it just cuts the sweet flavor a bit and brings the dish to life! For those who are too afraid to use chilis… This dish is still amazing as is. 5/5 simply amazing!

    • Thanks so much Chavez!!! I love your idea of adding in the red chili!!! I will try that next time.

  15. The marinade looks great but COSTCO has much nicer/ tasting lamb chops than Omaha Steaks will ever have. I always serve lamb chops for Easter and use terriaki but this year will use your version.

    Reply

    • Thanks Beth. I will try Costco’s brand as well. Let me know how your lamb chops turn out.

  16. My husband is the cook but he was to busy so I stepped in. We didn’t have any rosemary so I had to find an alternative recipe for lamb. I made this recipe and he loved it. Very easy to make with great flavor!

  18. Tried the recipe last week. IT was so easy ti make a came out a treat. The family loved the result. Deinetly making them again.

  19. Made these last night, first time making lamb! The sauce was great! I found myself wanting just the sauce! Directions were easy to follow. Any suggestions or charts I can use to determine cooking times for lamb? Maybe I cooked them a bit too long the 2nd time (about 5-8 minutes) because they were bordering tough/chewy? Last question, I’m making these for a dinner party, is there anything that I can do ahead of time if I make these? Last question (for real this time), do you think the sauce would be good on any other cuts/types of meat?

    Thank You!

    • For mis en place(prep for events) you could make the sauce before hand and let it reduce a little. And then sear the chops and just put the ready made sauce in. If it is too thick just add a tablespoon of water at a time(whisking the whole time) until you get what you believe looks right.

  20. I just made these yesterday for Father’s Day. We are HUGE lamb lovers (as in, we just bought an entire lamb that’s in the freezer). These are awesome! I was worried that they might be a bit too sweet, but they were perfect. We actually grilled them, but I’m pretty excited to think that I could have them in February for my birthday dinner. Next time, we’ll have to be nice and invite Stephie and Alex down. See what they missed by not getting down here for Father’s Day? Thanks for the recipe.
