Rosemary Garlic Lamb Steaks With Couscous Mediterranean Recipes

GARLIC ROSEMARY LAMB STEAKS

Steps:

• Heat iron skillet to medium heat. Add butter, garlic, and rosemary.
• Place steak into the skillet. If you don't hear a sizzle then the pan isn't ready.
• Cook for one minute each side flipping often. Turn down heat to medium low about a 4. Continue flipping and scooping the butter and rosemary over the steaks. Cook until browned on outside. The middle will be a medium light pink center.
• Top with sea salt and cracked black pepper. Serve with asparagus or greek salad.

LAMB STEAKS WITH GIANT COUSCOUS

Steps:

• Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a frying pan, add the couscous and fry until golden.
• Stir in the garlic and cook for a minute, then add half the chicken stock and stir until absorbed.
• Keep adding more stock, stirring, until the couscous is tender (you might not need it all).
• Add the courgette and cook for a few minutes, then stir in the mint and a squeeze of lemon.
• Oil the lamb steaks and season well.
• Heat a griddle or frying pan to medium-hot, sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes each side then rest for 5 minutes.
• Slice and serve with the couscous.

ROSEMARY AND GARLIC LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• Combine first 5 ingredients in processor; blend until garlic is finely chopped. Coat chops with garlic mixture. Arrange chops in single layer on baking sheet. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover; chill.)
• Preheat broiler. Watching closely, broil lamb 4 to 5 inches from heat source until cooked to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer 3 chops to each plate and serve.

ROSEMARY AND GARLIC ROAST LEG OF LAMB

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Using your hands, rub the lamb all over with the lemon juice. Pat the garlic and rosemary evenly all over the surface of the meat. Season the meat with the salt and pepper and place the lamb in a roasting pan. Place the lamb in the oven and roast for 30 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue to cook for about 1 hour longer for medium-rare, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the roast registers about 145 degrees F to 150 degrees F (be careful that the thermometer does not touch the bone.) Remove lamb from pan and allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving.
• Position the roasting pan over your stove burners. Add mixed herbs and onions to pan, and stir to combine with pan drippings. Add chicken stock and wine to deglaze the pan, scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to release any fond. Reduce over high heat until sauce consistency. Strain before serving, if desired. Slice lamb and serve with sauce drizzled over the top.

GRILLED STEAK WITH ROSEMARY AND GARLIC

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the rosemary leaves, garlic, crushed red pepper and enough olive oil to make a loose paste. Slather the steaks with the mixture and sprinkle them generously with salt. Let the steaks hang out outside the fridge to come to room temperature.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high. Use a wire grill brush to loosen any crud and soot. Wipe the grill down with an oiled side towel to pick up any bits of loosened crud.
• Put the steaks on a hot spot on the grill to get a great sear and really create BROWN FOOD! Once both sides of the steak are really nice and brown, move the steak to a cooler part of the grill to allow the steaks to cook to desired temperature. About 5 to 6 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
• Remove the steaks from the grill and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Cut the steak off the bone, slice across the grain and divide among 4 serving plates. Drizzle the steak with a little big fat finishing oil and a sprinkling of sea salt.

• Add lamb steaks and cook, turning once, about 4 to 5 minutes on each side.
• Transfer lamb and sausage to a plate; keep warm.
• In the same skillet, drain off excess sausage oil ,keeping 2 teaspoons; add onions, cauliflower, remaining 1/2 tablespoon rosemary, remaining salt, lemon zest and lemon juice.
• Stir mixture until cauliflower is tender, about 4-5 minutes.
• Stir in Roasted Garlic Ragu Tomato Sauce.

MOROCCAN BRAISED LAMB WITH COUSCOUS

Steps:

• The day before serving, season the meat heavily with salt and pepper, and sear it in a frying pan with one tablespoon of the oil. Then preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Put the meat in a pot, add a little water, and braise, covered, for about 2 hours, or until tender. Set aside to cool, and then refrigerate overnight.
• Also the day before serving, heat the remaining oil in another pot, and sauté the leek and the onions. When the onions are translucent, add the turnips, carrots, ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, ras el hanout, salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, and garlic. Cover the vegetables and spices with water, and simmer, covered, until the carrots are tender.
• The next day, cut the lamb into 2-inch chunks, and put it in the pot with the vegetables. Add the zucchini. Simmer slowly until the zucchini is just cooked but still bright green. Adjust seasonings, and stir in the harissa sauce. (I also serve more at the table, so that people can adjust the heat to their taste.)
• Stir together the harissa, couscous broth, salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, cinnamon, and Spanish pepper in a small bowl. Serve with the couscous.
