Ingredients

  • 8 chops lamb chops
  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 bunch asparagus
  • 4 medium carrots
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup beef broth

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Trim 4 carrots and cut into sticks; snap off woody ends of 1 bunch asparagus. Toss both with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Roast vegetables until tender and lightly browned, about 20 minutes, shaking once halfway.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, chop 2 tbsp rosemary and 2 garlic cloves finely. Pat 8 lamb chops dry and season with salt and pepper. Press herb mixture onto both sides of chops.

  4. 4

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add lamb chops in a single layer (work in batches if needed) and sear until golden, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare.

  5. 5

    Transfer chops to a plate and tent with foil. Reduce heat to medium, add 2 tbsp butter and 1 cup beef broth to the skillet, scraping up browned bits. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve lamb chops with roasted vegetables and drizzle with pan gravy.
