Baked Lamb Steaks Recipes

3 WAYS TO COOK LAMB STEAKS - WIKIHOW

Steps:

• Ask your butcher to cut lamb steaks from a leg of lamb. Many butchers don't sell pre-cut lamb steaks. However, your butcher will be happy to cut them for you from a whole leg of lamb. One leg of lamb will typically yield six steaks, each large enough for one serving size. Ask for steaks cut about 2/3-inch thick. This allows for a quick cooking time and tender results. If your butcher doesn't have a leg of lamb, this method can also be used to cook lamb chops.
• Mix your marinade. Peel and chop the garlic into fine pieces. Mix the garlic, rosemary, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a shallow baking dish or another nonreactive dish. This marinade will penetrate the steaks for a tender result. If you're in the mood for a different flavor combination, try one of these: Yogurt mint marinade: mix 1/2 cup whole milk yogurt, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/4 cup chopped mint, and salt and pepper to taste. Tandoori-spiced marinade: mix 1/2 cup whole milk yogurt, 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon minced ginger, 1 teaspoon sweet paprika, 1 teaspoon coriander, 1 teaspoon cumin,1 teaspoon turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and 1 teaspoon salt. Barbecue marinade: Mix 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup malt vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons tomato sauce and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mustard marinade: Mix 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Lay the steaks in the marinade. Make sure the steaks get completely coated with the mixture on all sides. Add extra olive oil if necessary. When you're finished, cover the dish with plastic wrap.
• Refrigerate for at least eight hours. You can start the recipe in the morning and refrigerate during the day, or do it the night before and let the steaks marinate overnight. Turn the steaks halfway through to make sure both sides get completely marinated.

BAKED LAMB

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the lamb shanks and sear until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the red wine, salt and pepper, sugar, cloves, bay leaves and cinnamon sticks. Stir all the ingredients together. Add the fresh tomatoes, tomato puree, tomato paste and 2 cups water. Stir well. Cover and let simmer on medium-low heat until the lamb is tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.

BAKED LAMB STEAKS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/gas 5. Parboil the potatoes in lightly salted water for 2-3 mins. Drain well.
• Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the lamb steaks over a high heat for 1-2 mins on each side until browned. Transfer to a shallow ovenproof dish.
• Add the onion and garlic to the pan and fry for 5 mins. Stir in the stock and Worcestershire sauce and bring to the boil. Pour over the lamb steaks and add the potatoes. Sprinkle with dried herbs, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and cook for 30 mins.
• Add the cherry tomatoes and return to the oven for a further 10-15 mins. Served garnished with fresh oregano or thyme leaves.

LOIN LAMB STEAKS WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor charcoal or gas grill or preheat the broiler to high.
• Sprinkle the steaks on both sides with salt and pepper and place them in one layer in a flat dish.
• Cut off and discard the stems of the mushrooms to make flat caps.
• Put the lemon juice in a small bowl and add salt and pepper to taste. Beat the juice while adding the olive oil. Crumble the rosemary and add it to the sauce.
• Arrange the mushroom caps over the lamb steaks and spoon the sauce over all. Turn the mushroom caps so that they are coated with the sauce.
• If the steaks are to be broiled, place them on a rack in one layer with the mushrooms arranged stem side down, about 3 inches from the source of heat. Leave the broiler door open.
• Cook about 3 minutes and turn the steaks and mushrooms. Continue broiling on the other side about 3 minutes. If the steaks are to be grilled, arrange them on a grill and arrange the mushrooms cap side down. Cook 4 minutes on one side and turn the meat and mushrooms. Cook 3 to 4 minutes on the other side.

BREADED LAMB STEAKS

Steps:

• Trim excess fat from the steaks or chops. Crush garlic and rub over meat; season pieces with salt and pepper and roll in flour. Dip in eggs, then in bread crumbs. Brown quickly on both sides in the hot shortening. Turn heat low and continue cooking slowly, covered, until meat is tender, about 20 minutes.

LAMB STEAK WITH LEBANESE SPICES

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.

LAMB STEAKS WITH TOMATOES & OLIVES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat the oil in a large roasting tin on the hob. Brown the lamb steaks in the tin over a high heat, about 1 min each side.
• Add the onion to the roasting tin with the oregano. Pour over the wine and throw in the tomatoes. Scatter the olives over the top, then place the tin in the oven for 15 mins until the lamb is cooked. Scatter with flat-leaf parsley and serve with boiled new potatoes.
