How to Make Spice Rubbed Lamb Chops Pan Sauteed

  1. In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1 teaspoon paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  2. Add freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  3. Place 2 lamb chops (about 8 ounces each) on a plate and rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides.
  4. Let the lamb rest at room temperature for 10-60 minutes.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  6. Add lamb chops to the hot skillet and reduce heat to medium.
  7. Sear the lamb chops for 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches your preferred level (e.g., 130-135°F for medium-rare).
  8. Transfer the cooked lamb chops to a serving plate and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  9. Divide a cup of arugula between two plates and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
