To Broil Mutton Chops

Ingredients

Directions

Prepare

  1. Cut mutton chops from the middle of the loin, about the same thickness as steaks.

  2. Sprinkle a little salt over the chops.

Cook and serve

  1. Broil the chops in the same manner as steaks, giving them equal attention.

  2. Serve immediately without butter, as the chops are sufficiently fatty.

What each ingredient does

Mutton chops
Provide the meat itself, whose natural fat keeps the chops moist and flavourful under the broiler.
Salt
Seasons the chops directly on the surface, adding flavour to the meat.

The step that matters

Broiling the chops with equal attention. Chops of this thickness can burn on the outside before the centre cooks through. Turning them and watching closely helps them brown evenly and reach a safe, juicy doneness.
