Step 1: Season the lamb: Rub salt and pepper all over the lamb chops. Let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.

Step 2: Heat the oil: In a large skillet or frying pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3: Sear the lamb: Add the lamb chops to the hot skillet and sear them on both sides until nicely browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4: Make the sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add honey, soy sauce, and red wine vinegar. Stir well to combine.

Step 5: Simmer the lamb: Return the lamb chops to the skillet with the sauce. Cook over low heat, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness, about 8-10 minutes for medium-rare.

Step 6: Thicken the sauce: If desired, you can thicken the sauce by simmering it for a few more minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.

Step 7: Serve: Transfer the lamb chops to a serving platter and drizzle with the honey sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Cordero a la Miel!
