Ingredients

For the Lamb Loin:
2 lamb loins (about 1.5 lbs total)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp italian herbs
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
2 sprigs fresh green onions (garnish)
2 cloves garlic , crushed

For the Honey Garlic Sauce

1/4 cup honey
3 cloves garlic , minced
3 tsp ginger , minced
2 tbsp soy sauce (use mushroom soy sauce, if you can find, it gives it more flavor.
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for a slight kick)
1 tbsp butter (for a glossy finish)

Instructions

Preparing the Lamb Loin

Pat the lamb loin dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This helps with better browning.
Add a drizzle of oil directly to the lamb, season generously with salt, black pepper. Let that rest for 5 mins, then rub 1 tsp honey all over each lamb.
Season with onion powder, italian herbs, and smoked paprika. Allow it to sit for 15–20 minutes at room temperature to absorb the seasoning. Or overnight

Searing the Lamb Loin

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil and butter.
Once the butter is melted and sizzling, add the crushed garlic cloves and rosemary sprigs to infuse the oil.
Place the lamb loin in the pan and sear for 3–4 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms.
Reduce the heat to medium and cook for another 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare or 140°F (60°C) for medium.
Remove the lamb from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Making the Honey Garlic Sauce

In the same pan, lower the heat to medium-low and add minced garlic and ginger. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in soy sauce, honey. Stir well to combine.
Let the sauce simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Stir in red pepper flakes if using.
Add 1 tbsp of butter to the sauce and mix until it becomes glossy.

Serving the Honey Garlic Lamb Loin

Place lamb loin back into the pot. (Cut up lamb loins into cubes if no bone is in your cut)
Scoop the honey garlic sauce over the lamb.
Garnish with fresh herbs like scallions, parsley or green onions.
Serve immediately with sides of your choice.
