GRILLED LEG OF LAMB STEAKS

Steps:

• Place lamb steaks in a single layer in a shallow dish. Cover with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Flip steaks to coat both sides. Let sit until steaks absorb flavors, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Cook steaks until browned on the outside and slightly pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side for medium. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).

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.

LAMB LEG STEAKS

Steps:

• Place the pink salt, garlic, ginger, bay leaf, sage, marjoram, coconut aminos and coconut oil in a coffee grinder or food processor.
• Pick the leave off 4 sprigs of thyme and add with the rest of the ingredients. Discard the stem and put the remaining 2 sprigs to the side.
• Pulse the ingredients into a wet rub. Scoop out and proceed to massage the rub into the steak so it is completely coated.
• Allow the meat to marinate overnight or 1-2 hours if your prefer to hasten the preparation.
• On medium heat, melt an additional 2 tbsp of coconut oil in a large frying pan or skillet.
• Sautee the scallion and onions until translucent and soft
• Scrap off the rub from the steak (Reserve the excess rub) and pan sear each side of the meat until a crust is formed. This should take 3-4 minutes per side.
• Once the meat is seared, stir in the tapioca starch into the 1 1/2 cup of warm water with the excess rub and pour it onto the pan.
• Increase the heat to high to a rolling boil before reducing to low.
• Add the additional sprigs of thyme to the pan, cover the pan and simmer for 20-25minutes.
• During this time the sauce til begin to thicken, check periodically to ensure the liquid doesn't recede too quickly. You should be left with enough sauce to cover the meat with.
• As the meat simmers away, prepare the topping by peeling and cutting the apples into small cubes. If the apples are turning brown during this process then simply let the chopped apples sit in salt water (drain off afterwards).
• Once the apples are chopped, on low/medium heat, melt the dairy free butter in a small pan then add the coconut sugar to the pan and swirl in the butter to create a dark liquid sugar.
• Add the apple pieces to the pan and coat so each side is exposed to the liquid sugar. Continue to stir and turn the apple until they darken.
• Pour in the 2 tbsp of water then cover the pan and leave to steam for 5 minutes. Keep an eye on the pan so the apples don't burn. Replenish with a splash of water if needed during this time.
• Serve the lamb steak with quinoa (or sweet potatoes if paleo) and salad
