Ingredients
- 2 lamb shoulder steaks about 1-inch thick
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Step 1: Season the Lamb
- Pat the lamb shoulder steaks dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Rub the mixture all over the lamb steaks and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 1 hour for more flavor).
- Step 2: Sear the Lamb
- Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy pan over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sear the lamb for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and caramelized.
- Step 3: Add Butter And Herbs
- Reduce heat to medium-low and add butter, more garlic, and fresh herbs to the pan.
- Spoon the melted butter over the steaks for 1-2 minutes to keep them juicy.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the lamb before removing from the pan.
- Step 4: Rest And Serve
- Let the lamb rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- For extra tenderness, marinate the lamb for up to 24 hours.
- Add a splash of red wine to the pan while searing for richer flavor.
- Great for grilling or air frying too!
