Moroccan spiced lamb steaks

These Moroccan spiced lamb steaks are perfect all year round – at Summer BBQ  parties, at Easter gettogethers or for laid-back family meals. Serve it with couscous or pilaf -  I served it with wheatberry salad and baked sweet potatoes. You can spice them up by adding a pinch of cayenne or chili powder/flakes to the spice mixture.
