Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces lamb steaks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 medium onion
- 400 grams canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 100 milliliters red wine
- 100 grams feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Season the lamb steaks with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Mince the garlic and finely chop the onion. Add both to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to caramelize slightly.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and red wine, then stir in the dried oregano and ground cinnamon. Let the sauce simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Return the lamb steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover the skillet and let the lamb simmer gently in the sauce for another 10-15 minutes, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
Crumble the feta cheese over the lamb steaks and sauce just before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with crusty bread or a side of rice.
