Ingredients
- 4 American Lamb sirloin chops
-
1 teaspoon kosher salt
-
½ teaspoon black pepper
-
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
-
2 garlic cloves, minced
-
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
-
Zest and juice of one lemon
-
1 teaspoon honey
-
4 cups arugula, washed and dried
-
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
-
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
Directions
1. Cook the sirloin chops:
Season the lamb sirloin chops generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the lamb sirloin chops to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness*.
Remove the chops from the skillet and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
2. Prepare the peas
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the thawed peas to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes, until they are heated through. Remove from heat.
3. Assemble the salad:
In a large bowl, whisk together lemon zest, lemon juice, honey and 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil to make the dressing. Add the arugula and toss to combine.
Transfer arugula to a serving bowl or platter. Top with cooked peas and crumbled feta cheese.
Slice the rested lamb sirloin chops into thin strips and scatter over the salad. Finish with fresh mint leaves.
