What each ingredient does

Mutton chops
Provide the main meat, whose juices are kept in by quick high-heat broiling.

The step that matters

Broil the chops over a hot fire. A hot fire sears the outside quickly, forming a browned crust that helps seal in juices. Slow cooking lets the juices escape and leaves the meat drier.
