Marinated Lamb Steaks
Posted in : Meat, Recipes, The Grill on by : el Meza
This is a perfect way to lift the taste of lamb. The longer you marinate it the better.
INGREDIENTS
- 500g of lamb steaks
- 4 garlic cloves
- ½ red onion (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon of plain yogurt
DIRECTIONS
Place the garlic, onion, cumin, salt and pepper in a pestle & mortar and grind into a smooth paste. Add the yogurt. Mix this paste into the lamb steaks in a large bowl or plastic bag. Cover and refrigerate until needed (take the meat out about 1 hour before you need it – it’ll cook much better when at room temperature).
When ready to cook, heat a large skillet or BBQ and cook 2-3 minutes per side (depending on thickness) and let rest for 1-2 minutes. The meat should be slightly charred on the outside but juicy and pink inside.
SERVING:
Slice the meat and serve with various meza like, hummus, baba ghanouj, fattoush salad etc…
Enjoy!
