Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 20m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 teaspoon whole black peppercorn
3 lamb chops, 1-inch thick, bones frenched if desired and fat trimmed
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium shallot, finely chopped
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon cognac or 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Coarsely crush peppercorns with a mortar and pestle or wrap in a kitchen towel and press on peppercorns with bottom of a heavy skillet.
  • Pat chops dry and season with salt. Rub one side of each chop with peppercorns, pressing peppercorns into meat to adhere.
  • Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then cook chops, peppered sides up, 2 minutes. Turn chops over with tongs and cook, pressing down on each chop with side of tongs to help pepper adhere to meat, about 2 minutes more (for medium-rare). Transfer chops with tongs to a plate and let stand while making sauce.
  • Pour off all but 2 teaspoons of fat from skillet if necessary, then sauté shallot, stirring, until golden brown, about 30 seconds. Add broth and Cognac and boil until reduced to about 1/4 cup, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and swirl in butter. Add any meat juices that have accumulated on plate and season with salt. Serve sauce over lamb.

The lamb was a bit tough, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try it again with a different cut of lamb.

Made this dish last night and it was a hit! The lamb was cooked perfectly and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I served it with mashed potatoes and green beans, and it was a delicious and satisfying meal.
