Instructions

1. 1Mince the fresh garlic and strip the leaves from the fresh rosemary stems. Combine the garlic, rosemary, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish. Add the lamb chops and toss until evenly coated. Marinate at room temperature for 20–30 minutes.
2. 2While the lamb chops marinate, soften the butter at room temperature, then mash it together with the fresh lemon juice and orange zest in a small bowl until smooth and fully combined. Set aside.
3. 3Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes until very hot and lightly smoking. Lightly brush the surface with oil.
4. 4Working in batches if necessary to avoid crowding, place the lamb chops on the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook 3–4 minutes per side over medium-high heat until nicely charred and the internal temperature reaches 130–135°F for medium-rare doneness.
5. 5Transfer the cooked lamb chops to a clean cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
6. 6Divide the rested lamb chops evenly into 4 airtight containers while still warm. Top each portion with a pat of the lemon-orange butter, allowing it to melt slightly over the warm lamb. Finish with flaky sea salt and a light sprinkle of fresh cracked pepper in each container before sealing.
7. 7Refrigerate the sealed containers for up to 4 days.
8. 8To serve, reheat gently in a skillet over low heat for 2–3 minutes until warmed through, then plate with lemon wedges on the side.
