    3. Turn the instant pot on the saute function and pour in the olive oil.

    🥫 Storing and Reheating

    Once the instant pot lamb chops have cooked, let them cool down before storing them in an airtight container. Then, place them in the refrigerator, and they should keep for up to 4 days.

    When ready to enjoy them, simply reheat them in a skillet or oven until they are warmed. You can also freeze these lamb chops for up to 3 months. Then, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and then reheat as mentioned above.

    💭 Tips and Variations

    • If you don't have the spices listed, you can use your favorite spice mix for this recipe.
    • Make sure you also season the sides of the lamb chops.
    • For an even faster version, you can try using boneless lamb shoulder chops instead of bone-in.
    • For an extra layer of flavor, feel free to add fresh rosemary or other warm spices like garlic powder and curry powder to the mix.
    • Finish your lamb chops off with a squirt of lemon juice.
    • You can use chicken stock or broth instead of beef if you prefer.

    👩‍🍳 Frequently asked questions

    How do you cook lamb chops, so they are tender?

    The best way to cook lamb meat so they are tender is to use a pressure cooker. This method will allow you to sear the lamb chops and then cook them with beef broth, spices, and other ingredients in a very short amount of time.

    Should lamb chops be cooked fast or slow?

    Lamb chops and steaks should be cooked quickly over high heat, just like beef steaks. Depending on their thickness, you can roast them quickly in the oven.

    Why are my lamb chops always tough?

    The lamb's temperature is the most important thing to get right when cooking lamb chops. If they're undercooked, they'll be tough and chewy. If they're overcooked, they'll be dry and tough. To cook rib chops, they should reach around 130°F, while loin chops should be cooked to 135°F or 140°F. Also, when using a pressure cooker, if you release the pressure too fast, your meat might become tough. Let it naturally release for 10-15 minutes first.
