Ingredients

  • Essential: Lamb chops (Recommended: JD purchase 'Grand Estate' imported New Zealand Spring Lamb French Shoulder Chops, 500g/bag, approx 3 slices. JDeal price approx 42 RMB)
  • Essential: Black Pepper Steak Seasoning Mix
  • Essential: Garlic Sauce (Sichuan Choice recommended)
  • Essential: Kitchen paper towels
  • Optional: Butter (small boxes, 1 slice per small box)
  • Optional: Charcoal Grilling Seasoning
  • Optional: Ground Basil
  • Optional: Air Fryer Rack (Cooking with a rack uses less oil, heats better from the bottom, but is harder to clean. Without it, the meat is better marinated. Choose according to preference)

Steps

  1. Rinse lamb chops in a bowl of water to wash away any blood water.
  2. Dry the lamb chops with kitchen paper towels. Apply a layer of black pepper steak seasoning and garlic sauce to both sides. Let marinate for 20 minutes.
  3. Place the rack on a sheet of aluminum foil. Place the lamb chops on the rack. Sprinkle with crushed basil. Place a slice of butter or a sprinkle of grilling seasoning on the lamb chops. Air fry at 180°C for 10 minutes.
  4. Flip the lamb chops over. Sprinkle with crushed basil. Place a portion of butter (scooped from the foil bowl) or grilling seasoning on the chops. Air fry at 180°C for 5 minutes (add a little more time depending on personal preference; this is the time needed to avoid burning).

Notes

This recipe is very lazy-friendly. The air fryer helps force out excess grease, resulting in a crispy exterior and tender interior with a rich garlic flavor. The flavor mainly depends on the quality of the lamb chops themselves. Lamb is rich in high-quality protein and trace elements like iron and zinc, which helps warm the blood and Qi and strengthen the body. Moderate difficulty, beginners can easily master it. Actual hands-on cooking takes only 10 minutes, and with marinating, you can have it ready in about 40 minutes.
