Lamb Chops With Port Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees farenheit.
• Slash the edges of the chops in 2 or 3 places to prevent curling. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
• Coat the bottom of a large, ovenproof frying pan with the olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. When the oil starts to smoke, add the lamb chops and sear them to a golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes on each side. (Do not crowd the pan; use 2 frying pans if necessary).
• Transfer the pan(s) to the oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted away from the bone registers 130-135 degrees Farenheit or the chops are a deep pink when cut into near the bone for medium rare, 6-8 minutes.
• Transfer to a platter and let rest, tented loosely with aluminum foil, while you make the sauce.
• To make the sauce, drain off all but 1 Tb of drippings from the pan. Add the shallots and garlic and saute, stirring often, until softened, 3-4 minutes. Add the Port and stock and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium. Whisk in the mustard and then the butter pieces. When the butter has melted and combined and the sauce is smooth, season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Transfer the chops to individual plates, spoon sauce on top, and serve.

Steps:

• Mix together the oil and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl, then smear this over the steaks, either with a pastry brush or by dipping the steaks directly into the bowl.
• Heat a heavy-based frying pan over medium-high heat and cook the steaks for about 3 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the steak and how you like it done. If you prefer to use boneless lamb sirloin or noisettes, I'd advise 2 per person, and less time for their cooking.
• Wrap the steaks in aluminum foil to rest on a warm plate or in a warm place, while you make the sauce. With the pan still on the heat, but turned down low, add the butter and let it melt, then finely chop the needles from the rosemary sprig and add them to the pan.
• Peel and crush or mince the garlic clove and add it to the pan, then pour in the port, letting it sizzle and reduce slightly. Unwrap the steaks and add any juices from the foil parcel to the sauce. Arrange the steaks on serving plates and drizzle them with the sauce.
