Ingredients Convert Measures
- 4 pounds leg of lamb cut into 1 inch thick steaks (or 4 lbs pre-cut lamb steaks--about 8-10 steaks)
- 4 Tbsp chopped fresh garlic
- 4 Tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
- 2/3 cup dry red wine (use a decent bottle)
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Directions
- If you have a full leg of lamb, trim of fat and cut into 1 inch steaks against the grain. I buy boneless leg of lamb, and find that I usually end up with about 10 steaks of varying sizes, based on the shape of the meat.
- Chop the garlic and rosemary together to form a loose paste. Rub the steaks on both sides with the paste and place in a Pyrex or other shallow bowl. Pour the wine and olive oil over evenly, cover, and marinate for 2 hours or longer. You can refrigerate or leave out.
- Light the grill and pre-heat to medium high. Sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper and grill. Watch carefully as they may flame. If you cook entirely uncovered, about 6 minutes a side for medium rare. If you cover to reduce flames, about 4 minutes a side. Let the meat rest for about 5 minutes (steaks will continue to cook while resting).
- Serve whole or sliced over Farro, another grain, or potatoes.
