Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean lamb leg
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Start by trimming any visible fat from the lamb leg, then cut it into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
In a large bowl, combine the ground cumin, ground coriander, minced garlic, grated fresh ginger, low-sodium soy sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes to create a marinade.
Add the lamb strips to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
While the lamb is marinating, prepare the cilantro by finely chopping it and setting it aside for later garnish.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated lamb in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook each batch for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the lamb is browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Remove the lamb from the skillet and place it on a serving platter. Let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Sprinkle the lamb with the freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve the cumin lamb hot with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete, healthy meal.
