CHEF JOHN'S GRILLED LAMB STEAKS



Chef John's Grilled Lamb Steaks image

Using vinaigrette as a sauce for grilled meats is one of my favorite 'cheats' of all time. They take minutes to whisk together, there's absolutely no culinary finesse required, and the combinations of oils, vinegar, and flavorings are limitless. How about balsamic vinaigrette on some grilled skirt steak? Maybe mustard dressing on some pork chops? How could grilled chicken drizzled with Greek dressing and feta cheese not be awesome?

Time 8h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 bunch fresh tarragon leaves, torn
½ bunch fresh mint leaves, torn
2 tablespoons plain yogurt
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 center-cut lamb leg steaks, 1 1/2-inch thick
¼ cup olive oil
3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Whisk tarragon, 1/2 bunch mint, yogurt, 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic, cumin, and 1 teaspoon black pepper together in a bowl; pour marinade into a resealable plastic bag. Add lamb steaks, coat with marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
  • Whisk 1/4 cup olive oil, sherry vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons chopped mint and stir to combine vinaigrette.
  • Remove steaks from marinade and scrape off all herbs and garlic; discard marinade. Drizzle steaks with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook steaks on the preheated grill until browned on the outside and slightly pink in the center, about 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Transfer steaks to a plate, drizzle 1/2 of the vinaigrette over the steaks, cover the steaks with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes. Transfer steaks to individual plates and drizzle remaining vinaigrette over each.

Everyone will love these juicy lamb steaks teamed with new-age mash in this recipe by Silvana Franco

Provided by Silvana Franco

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 x 140g/5oz boneless lamb leg steaks
8 fresh thyme sprigs
2 garlic cloves , thinly sliced
3 tbsp dry sherry
2-4 tbsp olive oil
2 x 250g punnets cherry tomatoes , preferably on the vine
1 shallot , very thinly sliced
2 tsp paprika
rocket , to serve
1 large plump, mild chilli , seeded and finely chopped
6 anchovy fillets in oil, drained
3 x 410g cans butter beans
20g packet flatleaf parsley
4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
juice of ½ lemon

Steps:

  • Put the lamb steaks on a baking tray and break over the thyme sprigs. Scatter over the garlic and some salt and pepper, then drizzle with the sherry and a tablespoon or so of the olive oil. Leave to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Tip the tomatoes (still on the vine) on to another baking tray, sprinkle over the slices of shallot and drizzle with a tablespoon or two of olive oil. Season with the paprika and some salt and pepper.
  • Put the chilli and anchovies for the butterbean smash in your food processor and whizz to make a paste. Drain and rinse the butterbeans and tip them into a saucepan. Roughly chop the parsley. (You can prepare to this stage up to 3 hours ahead.)
  • When ready to cook, preheat the oven to fan 200C/conventional 220C/gas 7. Put both trays into the oven (the lamb above the tomatoes, if you don't have a fan oven) for 15-20 minutes depending on how well done you like your lamb. Take the trays out of the oven and leave on the side for 5-10 minutes to rest the lamb before serving.
  • Meanwhile, pour boiling water over the butterbeans to just cover them and quickly bring back to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer for a few minutes until the beans are completely heated through. Drain the hot beans and save the liquid. Tip the beans into the paste in the food processor and whizz until coarsely chopped. Now stir in the parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, a little salt and plenty of black pepper and 4 tbsp of the saved liquid. Whizz again to make a rough but soft and creamy mash, adding another 2 tbsp liquid if the mash is not soft enough.
  • To serve, put a lamb steak on each plate with a spoonful of butterbean smash. Pour the tomato juices around the meat and scatter over a few rocket leaves.

Provided by Slains Girl

Categories     Low Protein

Time 15m

Yield 1/2 cup, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

75 ml honey, room temperature
30 ml Dijon mustard
30 ml rosemary, chopped (fresh or dried)
15 ml oregano, chopped (fresh or dried)
3 garlic cloves, minced
10 ml lemon juice
5 ml black pepper, freshly ground
5 ml coarse sea salt, freshly ground
5 ml mint, chopped (fresh or dried)

Steps:

  • Mix together all the ingredients. Taste and make adjustments to seasoning according to taste.
  • Using a sharp knife, make several small slits into the leg of lamb to allow marinade to penetrate. Thoroughly baste the leg of lamb in the marinade.
  • Place the lamb, along with the marinade, in a dish big enough to hold the meat. Pour the remaining marinade over it, and place in the refrigerator.
  • Allow to marinate overnight, turning once. Baste meat once more before putting into the oven to roast.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For best results, choose lamb steaks that are at least 1 inch thick.
  • To enhance the flavor of the lamb, marinate it for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • If you don't have time to marinate the lamb, you can still grill it, but it won't be as flavorful.
  • When grilling lamb steaks, cook them over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare.
  • Let the lamb steaks rest for a few minutes before serving, so that the juices can redistribute.

Lamb steaks are a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be grilled, roasted, or pan-fried.
