Enjoy tender and flavorful lamb loin chops with a crispy finish, perfect for the carnivore diet. Pressure-cooked to perfection, then seared in a cast iron skillet and topped with a rich gelatin butter reduction, this dish is both satisfying and easy to make.
Equipment
- Pressure cooker
- Cast iron skillet
- Tongs (for handling lamb chops)
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Small bowl (for blooming gelatin)
- Spoon for stirring
- Small saucepan for reduction
Ingredients
- 3 pieces lamb loin chop
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 tablespoons butter divided
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 tablespoon unflavored gelatin for sprinkling on the lamb
- 1/2 tablespoon unflavored gelatin for the reduction
Instructions
Pressure Cook the Lamb:
- Place the lamb loin chops in the pressure cooker.
- Add 1/2 cup of water, 2 tablespoons of butter, and a generous amount of salt.
- Close the lid and set the pressure cooker to high pressure. Cook for 40 minutes to ensure the lamb is tender.
- Allow the pressure to release naturally for about 10-15 minutes, then use the quick release to release any remaining pressure.
Season and Sear the Lamb:
- Remove the lamb loin chops from the pressure cooker and sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon of gelatin and salt on both sides of the lamb chops.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow the butter to brown slightly.
- Add the lamb chops to the skillet and sear for about 3 minutes on each side, until they are browned and crispy.
Create the Gelatin Butter Reduction:
- The pressure cooker will have created a flavorful broth. Pour half of the broth into a small bowl and set aside for drinking or future use.
- Take the remaining broth and add the other 1/2 tablespoon of gelatin and a bit of butter (if desired) to it. Stir over low heat until the mixture thickens into a rich, buttery reduction.
Serve:
- Slice the lamb loin chops and arrange them on a plate.
- Drizzle the gelatin butter reduction over the lamb slices.
- Enjoy the lamb with the remaining broth on the side.
