I would like a recipe for two lamb sirloin steaks (AKA Shoulder chop).?

I have two lamb shoulder chops that are a little less than 1/2 pound each. I would like a great recipe and way to cook these so they are tender and juicy. Also I have heard that lamb goes great with citrus such as orange. I am leaning toward any recipe that includes an orange glaze... perhaps made from frozen orange juice concentrate.I would like a recipe for two lamb sirloin steaks (AKA Shoulder chop).?
The first recipe should be done in a slow cooker but I'm sure you could do it in an oven as well. I know it calls for rib chops but why not try the sauce over your shoulder chops





Slow cooker Lamb Chops with orange


8 lamb rib chops


2 tablespoons vegetable oil


1/2 cup orange juice


2 tablespoons honey


1 teaspoon salt


2 tablespoons cornstarch


1/4 teaspoon thyme


1 teaspoon grated orange peel





Preparation:


Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat, brown lamb chops on both sides; drain well. Whisk together the orange juice, honey, salt, cornstarch, thyme, and grated orange peel. Place browned lamb chops in crockpot; pour in orange mixture, turning chops to coat well. Cover and cook on LOW 7 to 9 hours (HIGH 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours). Serves 4 to 8.

Glazed Lamb Chops


Ingredients:


4 to 6 lamb chops, about 3/4 to 1-inch thick


salt and pepper


1/3 cup orange marmalade


2 tablespoons lemon juice

Place lamb on an oiled broiler rack. Broil for 6 to 7 minutes on one side. Season with salt and pepper; turn. Broil on the other side for about 5 minutes, or until almost cooked to desired doneness. Season second side with salt and pepper. Combine the marmalade and lemon juice; spread evenly over the lamb chops. Broil for about 2 minutes longer.

Grilled Lamb Shoulder Chops


Ingredients


Pinch Rosemary


Pinch Oregano


Pinch Thyme


Pinch Salt


Pinch Pepper


Pinch Onion Powder


Pinch Garlic Powder


Olive Oil


Lemon Juice


4 Lamb Shoulder Chops





Directions


Get your grill up to a high-medium-high temp before preparing or cooking the lamb chops.


Sprinkle a pinch of each of the herbs/seasonings onto each lamb chop. Do this on one side, rub it into the meat, repeat on the other side.


Drizzle approx 1/2tsp Olive oil on each lamb chop. Drizzle it on one side, rub it in, repeat on the other side.


Before placing the chops on the grill, turn the temperature down to a medium-low/low heat.


Grill the chops until they are cooked as desired - it is recommended that they are cooked no more than medium-rare/light medium. Any more than this and the meat could become dry. Cooked or uncooked red meat is determined by the temperature, not the color, so be sure to try it if you are not accustomed to having your meat cooked lighter than you are used to!
