Marinated Rosemary Lamb Steaks With Red Peppers Food

GARLIC ROSEMARY-MARINATED LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. In a small bowl stir together the zest, the garlic paste, the rosemary, the oil, and pepper to taste, rub the lamb chops with the marinade, and let them marinate on a plate for 20 minutes. Broil the lamb chops on the rack of a broiler pan about 4 inches from the heat for 4 to 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare meat.

MARINATED ROSEMARY LAMB STEAKS WITH RED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to high. Mix the marinade ingredients together in a bowl. Add the lamb and set aside to marinate for 10 minutes, or longer if possible.
• Meanwhile, sit the peppers, cut side down, on one side of the grill pan. Toss the shallots in the oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange them on the other side. Slide under the grill to cook for 10-12 minutes, turning the shallots halfway through the cooking time, until the pepper skins are blackened and the shallots golden and slightly charred. Immediately transfer the peppers to a bowl, cover with cling film, and leave to sweat for 10 minutes to loosen the skins.
• Meanwhile, heat a griddle or heavy-based frying pan over a high heat until hot. Remove the steaks from the marinade and quickly fry on both sides. Reduce the heat and fry for 3-5 minutes on each side until golden brown but still slightly pink in the middle. Transfer to a plate, cover with kitchen foil and leave to rest for 5 minutes.
• Peel and discard the skins of the grilled peppers and then cut the flesh into large pieces. Add to the pan with the shallots to heat through.
• Arrange the vegetables on a plate. Cut the lamb into slices and place on top. Mix the balsamic glaze with 4 tablespoons of water and add to the pan with any remaining marinade and resting juices. Deglaze the pan for 30 seconds and pour the sauce over the lamb to serve.

ROASTED MARINATED LAMB WITH LEMON AND ROSEMARY POTATOES

Steps:

• Roughly chop strips of lemon zest. In a medium bowl, combine lemon zest and juice, garlic, and rosemary; whisk in oil. Pat lamb dry and season with salt and pepper. Place lamb in a 1-gallon resealable bag and pour in marinade. Seal bag, pressing to remove as much air as possible. Turn bag several times to coat lamb in marinade. Let sit at room temperature 1 hour (or refrigerate overnight), flipping bag halfway through.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. (If lamb was marinated overnight, remove from refrigerator 1 hour prior to cooking.) Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by 2 inches; season with salt. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer and cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes. Drain potatoes.
• Remove lamb from marinade, letting excess marinade drip back into bag. Place lamb on a plate; season generously with salt and pepper. Pour marinade into a roasting pan; add potatoes. Cook 15 minutes. Push potatoes to edges of pan; place lamb in center. Roast 15 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 300 and cook until medium-rare (an instant-read thermometer should read 125 when inserted in thickest part of lamb), 1 to 1 1/4 hours, tossing potatoes halfway through.
• Tent pan loosely with foil and let lamb rest 20 minutes before slicing. Toss potatoes with pan juices and serve alongside lamb.
