Step 1

Add all the marinade ingredients to the blender and blend until the ingredients are fully combined.

Step 2

Marinate the lamb shoulder chops for at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours. This helps to tenderize the chops and provides deep flavor.

Step 3

When ready to make the chops, heat 1 tbsp of cooking oil or butter in a large oven-safe skillet or cast iron. Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Step 4

Add the chops to the skillet and pan-sear for 2-3 minutes on each side to get a nice, browned exterior.

Step 5

Transfer the skillet into the oven and cook for at least 10 minutes for rare (15 minutes for medium). An instant thermometer should read 125-130°F for rare, 135°F medium-rare, 140°F medium, and 145°F medium-well.

Step 6

Remove from the oven, and let the lamb shoulder chops rest in the skillet for 5 minutes. Serve with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
