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.

CHINESE CHAR SIU GRILLED LAMB CHOPS

Provided by Jill Dupleix

Categories     Cheese     Lamb     Soy     Marinate     Mint     Grill/Barbecue     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons hoisin sauce*
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine (Chinese rice wine) or dry Sherry
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder**
1/2 teaspoon salt
18 rib lamb chops (about 3 pounds), well trimmed
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon water
*Available in the Asian foods section of many supermarkets and at Asian markets.
**A spice blend that usually contains ground fennel seeds, Szechuan peppercorns, cinnamon, star anise, and cloves; available in the spice section of most supermarkets.

Steps:

  • Whisk first 6 ingredients in small bowl. Transfer to large resealable plastic bag. Add lamb; seal bag and turn to coat. Marinate in refrigerator at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Drain lamb, leaving some marinade clinging. Grill lamb until slightly charred and cooked to desired doneness, about 21/2 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to platter.
  • Stir honey and 1 tablespoon water in small skillet over medium heat until warm. Brush over lamb chops.

Tips:

  • Choose High-Quality Lamb Steaks: Select lamb steaks that are well-marbled and have a good amount of fat. This will ensure that the steaks stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade not only adds flavor to the lamb steaks but also tenderizes them. You can use a variety of marinades, such as a mixture of olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and thyme; or a combination of yogurt, lemon juice, cumin, and paprika.
  • Cook the lamb steaks over high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the steaks and lock in the juices. You can grill, pan-fry, or broil the lamb steaks.
  • Don't overcook the lamb steaks: Lamb is a delicate meat, and it can easily become dry and tough if it is overcooked. Cook the lamb steaks to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
  • Let the lamb steaks rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

Conclusion:

Oriental lamb steaks are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Whether you are grilling them in the backyard, pan-frying them in the kitchen, or broiling them in the oven, these lamb steaks are sure to be a hit. With their tender texture, juicy flavor, and aromatic spices, they are a perfect addition to any meal.
