Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

6 shoulder lamb chops 

Salt and ground black pepper to taste

1 small onion

4 cloves garlic

2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary

1 cup beef broth

1 cup red wine (OPTIONAL)

2 tablespoons cornstarch

½ cup water

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce


METHOD

  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season lamb chops with salt and pepper. Sear lamb in hot oil until browned, for roughly 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove chops to a plate to drain, keeping drippings in the skillet.
  3. Sauté sliced onion and minced garlic for roughly 5 minutes in the reserved lamb drippings until tender.
  4. Transfer drained lamb chops to a baking dish; add onion and garlic mixture. Sprinkle chopped rosemary over the chops. Pour beef broth and red wine (optional) into the baking dish. Cover the dish with aluminium foil.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven for 3 hours.
  6. Remove lamb to a serving platter. Carefully drain liquid from the baking dish into a saucepan and place over medium heat. Beat cornstarch and water together in a bowl using a whisk to assure no lumps remain; stir into the liquid in the saucepan. Add Worcestershire sauce and cook until the liquid thickens into a gravy, for roughly 5 minutes.
