Oil for pan-frying lamb chop [duplicate] - Fried Strips Of Meat On White Surface

I'm learning to cook, and would like to pan-fry a lamb chop. I tried it yesterday, using a tempered chop and some EVOO in my medium-high heat stainless steel frying pan.

The result was kind-of OK -- just a bit rare for my liking. The oil smoked as soon as it hit the pan, and the room was very smoky by the end of it.

So, which oil would be best for pan-frying a lamb chop? Assuming I properly control the pan temperature this time!

Thanks



Best Answer

Any food oil will do, except extremely strongly flavored oils like sesame oil.

You may use olive oil if its flavor will compliment the dish, and is to your taste. You could even use animal fat like clarified butter, lard, or bacon fat if you choose, but each of these will bring a unique flavor.

You may choose a neutral oil if you want less flavor influence from the oil.

Your first step is to season the chops with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried rosemary. Then you cook them in a cast-iron skillet for 2-3 minutes per side.

Lamb chops and steaks should be cooked over a high heat, quickly, and can be quick-roasted, too, depending on how thick they are.

Answer 2

You shouldn't use extra virgin olive oil to cook with at higher temperatures. Ghee/clarified butter would be the best in terms of smoke point and flavour.

You can make your own also.
