Ingredients
  

  • 2 Lamb Steaks
  • Cooking Oil

First Marinade

  • 1 tbsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Chilli Powder
  • 1 tbsp White Vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil

Second Marinade

  • ½ tbsp Black Pepper
  • 2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 2½ tsp Paprika
  • 2 tsp Cumin Powder
  • 2 tsp Chilli Powder
  • 2½ tbsp Lime/Lemon Juice
  • 2 tsp Brown Sugar

To Garnish & Serve

  • Fresh Coriander Leaves chopped, for garnish
  • Lime/Lemon Wedges to serve

Instructions
 

  • Combine the first marinade ingredients together and rub into the lamb steaks. Cover and let marinate in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
    1 tbsp Salt, 1 tsp Chilli Powder, 1 tbsp White Vinegar, 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil, 2 Lamb Steaks
  • Prepare the second marinade by mixing all the ingredients to form a paste. Slather, rub and massage it all over the lamb steaks when ready. Cover & let marinate in the fridge for at least 3-4 hours or ideally overnight.
    2 tsp Garlic Powder, 2½ tsp Paprika, 2 tsp Cumin Powder, 2 tsp Chilli Powder, 2½ tbsp Lime/Lemon Juice, ½ tbsp Black Pepper, 2 tsp Brown Sugar
  • Heat oil in a pan over high heat. Sear the lamb steaks for about 2-3 minutes on each side, flipping only once, until a golden crust forms.
    Cooking Oil
  • Turn the heat down to medium. Add in any remaining marinade and let the steaks cook in their juices for another 4-5 minutes.
  • Remove the steaks from the pan and let rest for 5 minutes. Pour over any remaining juices from the pan, garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve with lime/lemon wedges.

Notes

  • The purpose of the first marinade is to tenderise the meat. The second marinade is for adding all the flavours to the lamb steaks.
  • The cooking time is completely dependent on the thickness of your steak and how you prefer your steak to be cooked.
  • Allow the steak to rest for 5 minutes before serving. This is to ensure that the meat juices get redistributed so that you can enjoy a juicy steak.
