Herb-Crusted Lamb Leg Steaks with Mint Sauce

Ingredients

• 4 lamb leg steaks
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• For the herb crust:
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
• Zest of 1 lemon
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• For the mint sauce:
• A handful of fresh mint, finely chopped

1. Preheat your grill to a high setting. Mix the garlic, rosemary, thyme, lemon zest, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Rub this mixture over the lamb leg steaks, ensuring they are well coated.
2. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the lamb steaks and sear each side for about 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or longer depending on your preference.
3. For the mint sauce, dissolve the sugar in boiling water in a small bowl. Add the chopped mint and vinegar, stirring well.
4. Serve the herb-crusted lamb steaks with the mint sauce on the side.
