What each ingredient does

Mutton chops
Provide the meat that is cooked directly over the heat and eaten as the main dish.

The step that matters

Broiling the chops for the right time. Meat cooks quickly under intense heat, so the timing per side decides whether the chops end up rare or overcooked. Checking doneness early helps keep the juices in the meat.
