Instructions

Prepare the lamb steaks

Remove lamb steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Pro tip: This helps the steaks cook more evenly.

Season the steaks

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary, and garlic. Rub this mixture evenly over the lamb steaks.

Pro tip: For more flavour, let the steaks marinate for up to 24 hours in the fridge.

Preheat the grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 200°C (400°F).

Pro tip: Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

Grill the lamb steaks

Place the lamb steaks on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 60°C (140°F).

Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer for accurate doneness.

Rest the steaks

Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Pro tip: Resting allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring tender meat.

Serve

Slice the lamb steaks against the grain and serve with your choice of sides.

Pro tip: Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary for a touch of elegance.
