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.

LAMB STEAK WITH LEBANESE SPICES



Lamb Steak With Lebanese Spices image

The Lebanese seven-spice mixture baharat (the Arabic word for spices) usually has a base of black pepper and allspice, along with coriander, cumin, clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, but that's not set in stone. Sometimes powdered ginger, cardamom and hot paprika are part of the mix. There are often more than seven spices, and sometimes fewer. It is an all-purpose spice blend, good for adding depth to stews, and as a rub for meat. London broil is what butchers call a boneless piece of meat from nearly any cut that is broiled or grilled and then sliced before serving, almost like a little roast. A butterflied leg of lamb has four such pieces, and grilling each separately is easier than cooking the whole boneless leg. You can buy chops instead, but they usually cost more.

Categories     steaks and chops, main course

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 butterflied lamb leg, about 1 1/2 pounds, or 4 lamb steaks or chops, 6 ounces each
Salt
2 teaspoons Lebanese baharat (seven-spice powder), see note
4 thinly sliced garlic cloves, plus 1/2 teaspoon grated garlic
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups plain yogurt, preferably whole-milk yogurt
4 Persian cucumbers, diced, about 1 cup
3 tablespoons chopped mint
Pinch of crushed red pepper
1 large bunch rainbow chard, about 1 1/2 pounds, cut in 2-inch-wide ribbons
Dill sprigs, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Lay butterflied lamb leg on a cutting board and cut into 4 equal pieces, approximately 6 ounces each. Trim extraneous fat or gristle.
  • Place lamb on a baking sheet and season on both sides with salt and the seven-spice powder. Sprinkle meat with sliced garlic and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Rub with your hands to coat, massaging the spices into the lamb. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour, or wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • Put yogurt in a mixing bowl and season with salt. Stir in cucumbers, mint, grated garlic and crushed red pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning. Set aside.
  • Put a large cast-iron skillet or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add lamb steaks in one layer and cook for about 5 minutes, until nicely browned. Turn pieces and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more, until juices appear on surface, for medium-rare. Transfer lamb to a cutting board and let rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. (Alternatively, broil lamb or grill over coals.)
  • While lamb is resting, put 2 tablespoons olive oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add chard and 1/4 cup water. Season lightly with salt. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until chard is just wilted. Remove chard from pan with a slotted spoon and transfer to a serving platter or individual plates.
  • Carve lamb on the bias in 1/8-inch-thick slices, against the grain, and place next to the chard. Garnish with dill sprigs, if desired, and serve with a spoonful of cucumber-yogurt sauce. Pass the rest of the sauce separately.

Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

6 boneless lamb shoulder
1 medium onion, chopped (wedges)
3 tablespoons dark soy sauce
3 -4 tablespoons oyster sauce

Steps:

  • Trim off the meat of fat.
  • Add dark soy sauce and oyster sauce,mix throughly and marinate for 1 hour or overnight in the refrigate.

  • Add the lamb to pan and brown the lamb on all sides, adding a little more oyster sauce, if necessary.
  • Turn heat down to slow and fry till dark brown on all sides,serve with warm rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of lamb: For grilled lamb steak, choose a cut that is at least 1 inch thick and has a good amount of marbling. This will help to ensure that the steak is tender and flavorful.
  • Marinate the lamb: Marinating the lamb steak for at least 30 minutes will help to tenderize the meat and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple mixture of olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and lemon juice is a good place to start.
  • Cook the lamb steak over high heat: Lamb steak is best cooked over high heat, which will help to sear the outside of the meat and keep it juicy on the inside. If you are using a grill, preheat the grill to medium-high heat before cooking the lamb steak.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the lamb steak is cooked to your desired doneness: The recommended internal temperature for lamb steak is 145°F for medium-rare, 160°F for medium, and 170°F for well-done.
  • Let the lamb steak rest before serving: Letting the lamb steak rest for a few minutes before serving will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

Conclusion:

Lamb steak is a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whether you are grilling, pan-searing, or roasting lamb steak, following these tips will help you create a delicious and memorable meal.
