Description
Tender lamb cutlets seared to perfection and coated in a rich, sweet, and savory honey garlic butter glaze, creating a restaurant-quality dish that’s surprisingly easy to make at home.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 8 lamb cutlets (about 1 inch thick)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Season the lamb cutlets generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lamb cutlets and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and thyme leaves. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
- Return the lamb cutlets to the skillet, spooning the glaze over them. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm through and coat evenly.
- Transfer the lamb cutlets to a serving platter, drizzle with any remaining glaze from the skillet, and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
