Using tongs, turn the chops onto their sides and sear until the fat browns, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet; roast in the oven until a thermometer inserted into the center registers 140 degrees F for medium rare, about 10 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes; remove the twine and serve with the tomato-mint jam.
