Ingredients & Substitutions

These are the main ingredients and substitutions. Scroll down to the recipe card for full ingredients list and instructions.

For best results, use fresh lamb chops. I recommend Australian lamb chops due to their high quality. Bone in lamb chops are super flavorful.

Olive oil adds moisture to the chops. Avocado oil, butter or ghee are perfect substitutes.

Both sea salt and pepper add flavor without being overwhelming. Do not be afraid to add even more salt and pepper.

Sprigs of rosemary add freshness and a pop of flavor. While the rosemary is not mandatory, it is recommended.

All About Lamb

Lambs are sheep that are under one year of age. Mutton refers to lambs that are older than a year. Lamb meat is more subtle in flavor than mutton.

Lamb chops are from the center of the lamb. They are extremely tender and usually cut into loin chops.

Typically, lamb chops are grilled, braised, pan fried or oven roasted. While this sous vide method is uncommon, it yields perfectly evenly cooked lamb.

Lamb is usually grass finished, which contributes to its grass, robust flavor. This cut of meat is generally considered more “gamey” than other meats.

Taste & Texture

These sous vide lamb chops are savory, hearty and flavorful. The rosemary adds a really great fresh flavor.

The texture is so juicy and tender.

How to Make

Step 1

First, preheat water bath to 130 degrees Fahrenheit using sous vide.

Step 2

Place all ingredients in a vacuum sealable bag or zippered top bag. Lightly shake until lamb chops are completely coated in oil and seasonings.

Step 3

If using vacuum seal bag, seal and lower into preheated water bath. If not, zipper bag almost all the way shut. Slowly drop bag into water bath. Once all the air has been sucked out, zipper completely shut and submerge.

Step 4

Cook in water bath for 2 hours.

Step 5

After 2 hours, carefully remove bag from water bath. Remove lamb chops from bag.

Step 6

Add a drizzle of oil to a skillet over high heat. Once oil is hot, place lamb chops in skillet. Sear for 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side.

Step 7

Finally, remove from skillet. Allow lamb chops to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Expert Tips & Tricks

For best results, use a high quality fresh cut of lamb. Australian lamb is top quality, grass fed, and has the best flavor.

Once lambs have cooked, sear them in a very hot skillet. This produces a beautiful color, flavor and texture.

Be careful not to sear too long. The reason for searing is a quick color and flavor, not to cook the lamb further.

Temperature & Doneness

Here is the internal temperature of lamb chops and their doneness. Use a meat thermometer for most accurate measurements.

Rare: 115 degrees to 124 degrees Fahrenheit

Medium rare: 125 degrees to 134 degrees Fahrenheit

Medium: 135 degrees to 144 degrees Fahrenheit

Well done: anything over 145 degrees Fahrenheit

As written, this recipe yields medium lamb.

How to Serve & Store

Serve these sous vide lamb chops after they have been seared and rested for 5 minutes. This locks in those juices.

Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, air fryer carrots, or a side salad for low carb.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
