LAMB LEG STEAK WITH OLIVE RELISH AND TOMATOES



Lamb Leg Steak With Olive Relish and Tomatoes image

Most lamb cuts can be made into chops. Some are expensive, like rib chops (from the rack) or loin chops (which look like miniature T-bone steaks), but there are also cheaper shoulder chops and sirloin chops. An easy chop to cook is the meaty, lean center-cut lamb leg steak, a thick slice with a round bone in the center. If you have ever grilled a butterflied lamb leg and found it difficult to cook evenly and carve, a lamb leg steak is a surprisingly easy way to go. Seasoned with salt and pepper, rosemary and garlic, it takes about 10 minutes to cook. Of course, if you're grilling over coals, it will take time for your grill to be ready, but that gives your steak time to marinate: It tastes best if it is seasoned at least 20 minutes before cooking.

Time 45m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 center-cut lamb leg steak, about 1 1/2 pounds, cut 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon roughly chopped rosemary
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
4 medium tomatoes, halved horizontally (optional)
Large handful of arugula, for garnish
3/4 cup roughly chopped pitted olives, a mix of black and green
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 lemon, skin on, seeded and finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
1 garlic clove, smashed
Red-pepper flakes, to taste
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare the lamb: Season lamb generously on both sides with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with rosemary, olive oil and garlic, smearing with hands to coat. Set aside at room temperature. Season cut sides of tomatoes, if using, with salt. (Light the grill now, if using charcoal.)
  • Make the olive relish: Stir together chopped olives, olive oil, lemon, garlic and red pepper in a small bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Have a charcoal grill ready or heat a ridged stovetop grill or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Grill or sear the lamb steak on one side for about 5 minutes, until nicely browned. Flip steak and cook on the other side for about 5 minutes more, until juices appear on the surface. Set aside to rest.
  • Place tomatoes, if using, seasoned with salt and pepper, cut-side-up on grill, pan or broiler, and cook for about 5 minutes, until heated through, but still firm.
  • To serve, slice lamb into 1/8-inch slices and arrange on a platter. Surround with tomatoes and arugula. Pass olive relish separately.

Provided by Sean McCaffrey

Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 (1/2 lb) lamb leg steaks
10 ounces shiitake mushrooms
1 lb chevre cheese (or other goat cheese)
4 ounces maple syrup
4 ounces capers
2 tablespoons olive oil, to saute
1 sprig rosemary
salt and pepper
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup dry white wine (if you can't drink it don't use it)

Steps:

  • Salt and pepper lamb leg steak.
  • Grill or broil (approx).
  • Prepare sauce: Sauté sliced shiitake mushrooms in olive oil (approx), add leaves of rosemary, deglaze pan with wine, rid alcohol (smell will go from dry to sweet), add flour to make roux.
  • Lower heat to low.
  • Add diced parts of chevre.
  • Continue stirring mixture until cheese is integrated.
  • After cheese is fully incorporated into sauce add capers and maple syrup.
  • Stir through.
  • Serve (I like garlic smashed potatoes and broccoli).

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of lamb. For this recipe, a leg steak is ideal. It's a boneless, lean cut of meat that cooks quickly and evenly.
  • Marinate the lamb. Marinating the lamb in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and thyme will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the lamb over high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the meat while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
  • Let the lamb rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more flavorful and tender.

Conclusion:

This lamb leg steak recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a special occasion. The lamb is marinated in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and thyme, then cooked over high heat to create a nice crust. The result is a tender, juicy, and flavorful steak that will impress your guests.
