Separate the chops onto a plate and sprinkle both sides with a generous amount of herbs and salt and pepper. Allow to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes. Prepare your side dishes as you wait. Heat a cast iron or heavy bottom pan to medium high with no oil. Sear the chops in the pan for 30 seconds, to 1 minute on each side until a light brown crust forms. Lower the heat to medium and cook the chops to desired doneness. Approximately 5 minutes will result in medium-rare for smaller chops. Sprinkle the chops with fresh lemon juice if using, just before serving with mint
