Looking for the perfect method to cook lamb cutlets? If you want beautifully pink meat with a deep caramelised crust, follow our method below or watch the video above for everything you need to know.
Lamb cutlets are an expensive but delicious cut that only take a short time to cook. The most common method is to griddle or barbecue the cutlets, but they can be roasted in the oven too.
Always remove the lamb from the fridge an hour before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature.
Method
Tip
Whichever way you decide to cook the lamb, remember that the cooking time will always depend on the thickness of the chop and personal preference. The internal temperature of a lamb chop served pink in the middle should be around 57˚C.
Other ways of cooking lamb cutlets
Alternatively, place the cutlets in an oven set to 200˚C/gas mark 6 oven for a similar amount of time. You could also pan-fry the cutlets if you do not have a griddle pan.
