How to Cook Lamb Steaks

Lamb steaks are a delicious way to experience savory, juicy lamb. When cooked properly, lamb steaks make a satisfying meal that will be sure to delight all of your guests. Here are some steps to follow to ensure that your lamb steaks are cooked properly.

Preparing the Steaks

1. Check to make sure that the steaks are at room temperature. Lamb steaks often come pre-packed and stored for a few days to weeks, and may need a few hours to come to room temperature once they have been removed from their packaging.
2. Trim away the excess fat. Lamb steaks are naturally fatty, so it is best to trim away any extra fat before cooking.
3. Pat the steaks dry before you begin cooking. This helps the steaks to sear more evenly in the pan.

Cooking the Steaks

1. Heat a heavy-based frying pan over high heat. Make sure the pan is large enough to fit all the steak pieces without overcrowding.
2. Add enough oil that it reaches halfway up the sides of the steaks. Swirl the oil around in the pan to coat it evenly.
3. When the oil is hot, add the steaks to the pan and cook for about 3 minutes. Flip the steaks over and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
4. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook the steaks for 8-10 minutes, flipping them over occasionally.
5. When the steaks are cooked to your desired doneness, remove them from the pan and allow them to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
