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.

Steps:

• Mix the balsamic vinegar, 1 tsp olive oil and rosemary together in a bowl. Add the lamb steak, ensuring that it is completely covered in the marinade, and set aside.
• Boil the potatoes until tender. Lift out of the pan with a slotted spoon, keeping the pan of water simmering. Heat 2 tsp of the oil in a frying pan, add the potatoes and garlic, and fry gently until golden.
• Sprinkle a little salt over the potatoes, then push to the side of the pan. Remove the garlic. Season the lamb and fry alongside the potatoes for 1-2 mins each side, depending on the thickness of your steak. Remove the lamb and potatoes and leave to rest in a warm place.
• Keep the pan on the heat and add the stock. Bring to the boil, scraping any sticky bits from the bottom of the pan, and let it bubble until reduced by half. Stir through the redcurrant jelly until melted. Taste and season, adding a dash of balsamic vinegar if it is too sweet.
• Meanwhile, blanch the beans in the simmering water for 3 mins, then drain. Return to the pan and stir through the butter, mint and seasoning.
