Discover how to perfectly cook sous vide lamb chops with our easy-to-follow recipe. Learn the secrets to tender, juicy lamb every time!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 454 g lamb chops (about 4–6 loin chops or a rack of lamb)
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp (1 ml) fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) cooking oil or light olive oil for browning
  • 4 small sprigs rosemary or thyme, optional

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle the lamb chops or lamb rack with salt and pepper on all sides. Optionally, add a touch of chopped fresh rosemary or thyme.
  2. Place the seasoned lamb in the fridge overnight without covering it to enhance browning.
  3. Seal the lamb with a vacuum pack, adding a tablespoon of unsalted butter inside.
  4. Immerse the sealed lamb in a water bath that’s been heated in advance. For individual chops, reduce the temperature by 5 degrees F from your target final temperature. Let the lamb cook in the water bath for 2 hours, with the possibility of extending it to 4 hours if necessary.
  5. For a half or full rack of lamb, cook at 140 F, or adjust according to your temperature preference. Personally, I prefer loin chops at 135 F for a warm pink interior.
  6. Take the lamb out of the vacuum bag and use a paper towel to dry it.
  7. In a heavy pan, heat the cooking oil on high and sear the lamb. Cook the lamb chops for merely 1-2 minutes on each side. A quick sear is sufficient. I prefer to sear one side of the lamb chops, giving just a light touch to the other side to avoid overcooking.
  8. Arrange the lamb chops on a preheated dish, decorating with chives, a dash of flaky salt, and lemon wedges before serving.

Notes

  • Season lamb chops with fresh rosemary or thyme before refrigerating overnight for a more flavorful dish.
  • Enhance tenderness by adding unsalted butter inside the vacuum pack before cooking in the water bath.
  • Adjust final cooking temperature based on preference: 140 F for racks, 135 F for a warm pink interior in loin chops.
