I cooked lamb steak for the first time today. It has WAY LESS fat than beef, costs the same or less, and tastes awesome. I wish I had discovered this years ago!
i'd grill it with salt and pepper... throw some humus, unleavened bread, and salad with olive mix dressing on the plate, and you've got a great Medeterrainian meal!
I pan-cooked it as a steak in a small smear of low-fat butter using Montreal steak seasoning. It tasted VERY similar to Ribeye to me, except for a mild aftertaste. It did not bother me. It also didn't leave me feeling fat and sluggish like a Ribeye does an hour after eating it.
Fresh Market carries lamb tenderloin. Classic Irish stew ingredients, a bottle of Harp and you are on your way. I cook stew minimum once a week during the winter and lamb is the best.
I like Med. food, but I prefer my lamb with the UK/Ireland flavors. I really want to try mutton but that's not something you find too often. Silly but I refuse to try veal.
That's all we eat at our house..my dad cooks and eat every part on the lamb and I mean EVERY part.i took a picture of what he made lastnight to send to my freind.i would post it up here but I think most of y'all will get disgusted.
