Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Simmer the potatoes for 12-14 minutes until tender, drain and set aside. Meanwhile, mix the oil, garlic and lemon zest and rub all over the lamb steaks. Season.
Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Fry the lamb for 3-4 minutes on each side. Lift out and set aside covered with a sheet of foil. Toss the potatoes into the hot frying pan and fry for 2 minutes, stirring, until just coloured; season and take off the heat. Set aside.
Meanwhile, in a small pan, heat the butter to foaming, add the shallot and a pinch of salt; sauté for 5 minutes until soft. Add the peas and 1 tbsp water and cook for 3-4 minutes until piping hot. Take off the heat, crush with a masher, stir in the herbs, most of the feta and the lemon juice. Pile the potatoes, peas and lamb onto plates and scatter with the remaining feta.
Tip the crushed peppercorns onto a plate and press both sides of the steaks onto the peppercorns to coat. Heat the olive oil into a large skillet. Add the lamb steaks and pan-fry over high heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
Fresh rosemary, fresh garlic, lemon zest, black pepper, and salt are simple but amazing flavors that pair amazingly with the lamb! Each of these ingredients adds its unique warmth and depth to enhance the flavor of the dish.
Temperature is by far the most critical aspect of cooking lamb chops. Undercooking even tender lamb chops can render them unpleasantly chewy, while overcooking will lead to tough, dried-out meat. Rib chops should be cooked to about 130°F, while loin chops are better at 135°F or even 140°F.
Heat up a grill, lined with foil to HIGH and place the lamb steaks on them. Cook for roughly 6-8 minutes on each side using tongs. Much like pan-frying, cook to an internal temperature aim for 63 - 70°C for medium to well done (depending on the thickness of the steak)
While lamb chops and lamb shanks have their own unique qualities, lamb leg steaks have a balance of lean meat and just the right amount of fat, making them an ideal choice for those who want to enjoy a hearty yet healthy meal.
A whole leg of lamb is way too much for my family, so I've been happy to discover boneless leg of lamb steaks at the supermarket. The best are evenly cut slabs similar to beef steaks, but any cut of boneless leg of lamb will work.
Whether boneless or bone-in, the perfect leg of lamb should be either oven-roasted until blushing pink on the inside (with an internal temp around 130°F) or roasted long and slow for several hours until the meat is very tender and falls apart to internal temp around 175°F (I often use the slow cooker for that).
Lamb meat is known for a low risk of parasites so there's no problem eating the meat rare. Therefore, the meat doesn't have to be cooked well-done. Raw lamb meat is red but when cooked, it gradually becomes a pale pink color. But if the meat is overcooked, it will become tough.
