Ingredients:
- 4 sirloin lamb chops
- 3 tablespoons stone ground mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1 cup red wine
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. | Rub both sides of chops with mustard. Ensure each lamb chop is thoroughly coated with the stone ground mustard, as this will infuse the meat with its robust flavor during cooking. |
| 2. | Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Evenly distribute the salt and fresh ground pepper over both sides of the lamb chops, enhancing their taste with a perfect balance of seasoning. |
| 3. | Cover with wine and marinate. Place the seasoned lamb chops in a container and pour the red wine over them, ensuring they are fully immersed. Allow the lamb chops to marinate for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator, or for up to 8 hours for maximum flavor infusion. Remember to turn the chops occasionally to ensure even marination. |
| 4. | Preheat and prepare for cooking. Just before cooking, remove the lamb chops from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Preheat your broiler or pan to the desired temperature for cooking. |
| 5. | Rub again with mustard and cook. Prior to cooking, rub each lamb chop with mustard once more, adding an extra layer of flavor. Cook the lamb chops for approximately 5 minutes per side, or until they reach your preferred level of doneness. For a succulent finish, ensure to turn the chops halfway through the cooking process to achieve even browning. |
| 6. | Serve and enjoy! Once cooked to perfection, serve the Mustard and Wine Marinated Lamb Chops immediately. Pair them with your favorite sides or enjoy them on their own for a truly satisfying meal. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs or a drizzle of extra mustard for an added touch of flavor. These delectable lamb chops can also be cooked on the grill for a smoky twist on this already sensational dish. |
