Lemon and Garlic Lamb Steaks

 Serves 4

This is my go-to marinade for lamb, chicken and seafood. There is little that isn’t enlivened by lemon, garlic and thyme.

450g-500g lamb leg steaks, approx 2cm thick

Marinade

3 tbsp lemon juice

2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed to a paste

1 tbsp thyme leaves

•  Combine the marinade ingredients with 4 tbsp of olive oil in a large bowl, add the lamb steaks and coat evenly. Cover and chill for up to an hour.

•  Season the steaks on each side with salt and pepper before placing over hot coals for 3-4 minutes each side until golden but with a slight give when pressed for medium-rare.

•  Leave to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
