Ingredients:
4 tablespoons chili powder |
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro |
1 tablespoon dried oregano |
1 tablespoon ground cumin |
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder |
8 1-inch-thick lamb loin chops (about 2 3/4 to 3 pounds total) |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1/4 cup chopped shallots |
1 tablespoon chopped garlic |
2 cups dry red wine |
2 cups beef stock or canned beef broth |
4 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces |
Directions:
1. Combine 2 tablespoons chili powder, cilantro, oregano, cumin and garlic powder in small bowl. Coat lamb chops with spice mixture. Place lamb chops in glass baking dish. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add shallots and garlic and sauté 2 minutes. Add red wine, beef stock and remaining 2 tablespoons chili powder. Boil until sauce is reduced to 3/4 cup, about 30 minutes. Remove sauce from heat. Add butter 1 piece at a time, whisking until melted after each addition.
3. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Grill or broil lamb chops to desired doneness, about 6 minutes per side for medium-rare.
