Christmas Eve found my father and I making dinner in his brand-new, gleaming kitchen, complete with an awesome stove-top grill I have been itching to try. We had gotten some thick, gorgeous lamb chops, and my dad pulled the sauce recipe from one of his ancient Time-Life cookbooks (Classic French Cooking). It was quite possibly the best lamb I have ever eaten in my life.
6 thick lamb chops
olive oil
sea salt and pepper
2 tablespoons dried rosemary
for the sauce:
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon dried tarragon leaves
1/2 cup low-sodium beef broth (or veal broth if you can find it)
1 teaspoon tomato paste
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Brush the chops with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper and rosemary on both sides. Let them sit out for around an hour, till they reach room temp. Then, sear them in a large pan for about 6 minutes on each side. Remove the chops from the pan and set aside. Add the white wine to the pan and deglaze, scraping up all the delicious brown bits of meat and rosemary from the bottom. Bring to a boil and let the wine reduce by about a third, then stir in the tarragon and broth. Bring back to a boil and simmer for another 8-10 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and season with salt and pepper.
At this point, throw the chops on a screamin' hot grill to get a good char on the outside. Cook on each side to desired temperature, depending on thickness. Whisk the butter into the sauce and spoon it over the lamb. Fill your heart with warmth and holiday cheer. Enjoy!
