Lamb Chops
Put the lamb chops in a shallow bowl with the 1/4 cup olive oil and minced garlic.
Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat evenly. Let the lamb chops sit and marinate for 15 minutes.
After marinating, heat 1 Tbsp of olive oil in a saucepan on medium/high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, sear the chops for 2-3 minutes on each side for medium rare. Let them rest on a plate for 5-10 minutes before serving.
