Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Lamb steaks
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 3 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 tablespoons Optional fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, rosemary (leaves pulled off the stem), thyme (leaves only), salt, pepper, and lemon zest.
Rub the lamb steaks generously with the herb mixture, ensuring all sides are coated. If possible, let the lamb marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and a drizzle of olive oil to the pan.
Once the butter is melted and slightly foaming, add the lamb steaks to the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your preferred doneness.
While cooking, spoon the melted butter and pan juices over the lamb steaks to keep them moist and enhance the flavor.
Remove the lamb steaks from the pan and let them rest on a plate for 5-7 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the lamb steaks warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Pair with roasted vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.
