Far West Lamb Steaks
Juicy lamb steaks marinated in red wine, garlic, onion, and herbs, delivering bold flavors perfect for a quick, satisfying meal for meat lovers.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Place the lamb steaks in a mixture of olive oil, red wine or vinegar, minced onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Let stand for at least 1 hour, turning occasionally.
- Preheat the broiler. Broil the steaks for 8 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, marinate the lamb steaks for at least 1 hour, but overnight is ideal for deeper flavor. If you don't have red wine, balsamic vinegar can be a great substitute. Make sure your broiler is preheated to ensure a nice sear. If using a different cut of lamb, adjust cooking time accordingly to prevent overcooking.
Serving Suggestions
These lamb steaks pair beautifully with roasted vegetables or a fresh Greek salad. For a complete meal, serve alongside Greek Rice to soak up the delicious juices. A drizzle of tzatziki sauce can add a refreshing contrast. Consider serving with a glass of red wine to enhance the flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover lamb steaks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until warmed through. Avoid microwaving as it may make the meat tough.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of meat instead of lamb?
Yes, you can substitute lamb with beef steaks or pork chops. Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the meat, as different meats may require varying cooking times for optimal doneness.
What should I do if I don't have fresh parsley?
If fresh parsley is unavailable, dried parsley can be used as a substitute. Use about one-third of the amount since dried herbs are more concentrated. Alternatively, consider using fresh herbs like cilantro or rosemary for a different flavor profile.
How can I tell when the lamb is done cooking?
To check for doneness, use a meat thermometer. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 145°F. If you prefer it more well-done, cook until it reaches 160°F. Remember, the meat will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the broiler.
