Spiced lamb steaks

For summer barbecues and midweek suppers these Moroccan-style spiced lamb steaks tick many boxes - they are tender, super easy to cook and most importantly very tasty! Best served with a crispy salad and couscous or flatbread. If you want them spicy, substitute quarter/half of the paprika  with cayenne or chilli powder.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 8 small lamb leg steaks
  • Salt and pepper
  • Mint leaves to serve
  • For the marinade:
  • Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp ground pepper
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 pinch of cinnamon
  • 1 tsp grated garlic or ½ tsp garlic powder

Method
 

  1. Mix the marinade in a bowl then brush the steaks generously with the marinade. Put them in a shallow dish and pour over any remaining marinade. Cover and chill for at least an hour in the fridge (preferably overnight).
  2. Take the lamb steaks out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking.
  3. Heat your BBQ, grill or griddle pan. Season the steaks with salt and pepper then fry them for 3-5 minutes on each side, turning them every minute.
  4. When the steaks are cooked to your liking, transfer them to a plate and rest for 5 minutes before serving with your chosen side dishes.
