Yogurt and mint marinated lamb steak

If you’re after a delicious but easy recipe for a barbecue/grill party try these yogurt and mint marinated lamb steaks! I think it helps to marinate the lamb for at least 2-4 hours - or you can do it the night before your get-together! Serve it with a crispy salad and Mediterranean flatbread.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 lamb steaks
  • 100 ml Greek yogurt
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 small cloves garlic crushed
  • Grated zest and juice of half a lemon
  • Handful of mint leaves finely chopped
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • Salt and ground black pepper

Method
 

  1. Except for the salt & pepper, mix the ingredients and pour into a freezer bag. Add the lamb steaks, then tie the bag and rub the meat well with the mixture through the bag.
  2. Chill for 2-4 hours to marinate.
  3. Half an hour before cooking, remove the lamb steaks from the refrigerator.
  4. Season the steaks with salt and pepper, then cook them on a preheated barbecue, grill or griddle pan for about 5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the meat and how well-done you or your guests like lamb.
  5. Serve with couscous or slice it up and serve in pita/flatbread with a spiced sauce and crispy salad of your choice.
