Directions
1
Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season lamb chops with salt and pepper. Sear lamb in hot oil until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove chops to a plate, reserving drippings in the skillet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 3 hours. Remove lamb chops to a serving platter.
