Pan Seared Lamb Medallions Recipes

Steps:

• Place lamb in a bowl. Mix all other ingredients together except salt, olive oil, stock and butter. Massage the lamb and marinate at room temperature for 15-30 minutes.
• Heat pan over medium high heat. Add olive oil and butter. When it just starts to smoke a little, sear lamb for 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Baste continuously with pan oil and butter when searing. Set lamb aside and drain oil.
• Deglaze pan with chicken stock to make pan jus. Pour jus over lamb when serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Put the lamb in a bowl and add 7 cloves of the minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of hickory bacon salt, and 1/8 cup of olive oil. Mix to coat the lamb with the mixture and refrigerate for 1 hour
• In a separate bowl, mix together the grated cheese and bread crumbs.
• Put a saute pan on the stove over medium-high heat and add 1/8 cup of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of bacon salt, and mushrooms. Cook for 8 to 12 minutes and then add in the remaining 3 cloves of minced garlic.
• Put medallions on a lightly greased sheet pan and put into the oven for 15 minutes. Take the sheet pan out of the oven and arrange the medallions close together. Top them with cheese and bread crumbs, then put them under the broiler until golden brown, about 2 to 4 minutes, total. Watch carefully so as not to burn the topping. Cook's Note: Be mindful that some broilers cook faster than others. Take the lamb out of the broiler and put top with the mushrooms before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the puree: Coat the whole garlic cloves and yellow squash with olive oil and a few pinches of sea salt in a medium bowl. Put the coated squash and garlic in a 9 1/2 by 11-inch baking pan. Put the baking pan into the oven and bake until the skin is somewhat charred, about 15 minutes.
• In a blender, add the roasted garlic, yellow squash, and vegetable stock. Blend until it has the consistency of applesauce.
• For the lamb: In a medium sized mixing bowl, coat each lamb medallion with the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. In a 12-inch saute pan over medium-high heat, sear the lamb medallions until a brown crust forms, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Immediately remove from the heat.
• To serve, pour a helping of puree on a plate and serve 2 lamb medallion over it.

Steps:

• In a small bowl or cup, mix together the rosemary, basil, thyme, salt and pepper. Rub this mixture onto the lamb chops on both sides. Place them on a plate, cover and set aside for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place lamb chops in the skillet, and cook for about 3 1/2 minutes per side for medium rare, or continue to cook to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet, and keep warm on a serving platter.
• Add shallots to the skillet, and cook for a few minutes, just until browned. Stir in vinegar, scraping any bits of lamb from the bottom of the skillet, then stir in the chicken broth. Continue to cook and stir over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until the sauce has reduced by half. If you don't, the sauce will be runny and not good. Remove from heat, and stir in the butter. Pour over the lamb chops, and serve.

Steps:

• Combine the first five ingredients; rub over chops. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook chops in butter and oil for 6-8 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°). Remove and keep warm., Add wine to the same skillet, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Stir in cream; cook for 1-2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Serve with chops.
