Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Lamb Steaks with Herb Vinaigrette.
Step 1
Start by gathering your fresh herbs—tarragon and mint—and tear them into smaller pieces.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine these herbs with yogurt, a tablespoon of olive oil, chopped garlic, ground cumin, and a sprinkle of black pepper.
Step 3
Whisk everything together until it’s beautifully blended.
Step 4
Next, pour this fragrant marinade into a resealable plastic bag.
Step 5
Add your lamb steaks, making sure they’re thoroughly coated in the marinade.
Step 6
Squeeze out any excess air from the bag, seal it tightly, and let the lamb marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or overnight if you want to maximize the flavor.
Step 7
When you’re ready to cook, preheat your outdoor grill to high heat and give the grill grate a light oiling to prevent sticking.
Step 8
While the grill heats up, prepare a delightful vinaigrette by whisking together a quarter cup of olive oil, sherry vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl.
Step 9
Stir in two tablespoons of chopped mint for a refreshing twist.
Step 10
Once the grill is hot, take the lamb steaks out of the marinade, scraping off any herbs and garlic, and discard the marinade.
Step 11
Drizzle the steaks with a tablespoon of olive oil and season them with salt and pepper to your liking.
Step 12
Place the lamb steaks on the grill and cook for about 6 minutes on each side, until they’re beautifully browned on the outside and just slightly pink in the center.
Step 13
You’ll know they’re done when an instant-read thermometer shows 130°F (54°C).
Step 14
After grilling, transfer the steaks to a plate, drizzle half of your minty vinaigrette over them, cover with foil, and let them rest for about 10 minutes.
Step 15
This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, making each bite tender and juicy.
Step 16
Finally, serve the steaks on individual plates, drizzling the remaining vinaigrette over each serving for an extra burst of flavor.
Step 17
Enjoy your deliciously marinated lamb steaks, perfect for a summer gathering or a cozy dinner at home!.
