Mark Araxs Marinated Lamb Recipes

Steps:

• Place steaks in a nonreactive baking dish. Rub each steak with ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper and a shy ¼ teaspoon garlic powder. Drizzle each steak with 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar. Then sprinkle 1 tablespoon rosemary over each steak on both sides. Rub the spices, olive oil, vinegar and rosemary all over the meat. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Remove the lamb from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Heat a grill until very hot. Grill steaks for 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly on the diagonal. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Lamb: Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Bash up the coriander and mint and mix with the yogurt, garlic, and seasoning. Reserve half to use as a sauce once the lamb is cooked.
• Score the lamb pieces, season with the salt and pepper and mix with half the marinade and the chickpeas, so it is all coated.
• Transfer the marinade and lamb to a plastic bag and seal. Place in the refrigerator until required.
• To cook, place the meat directly on the oven shelf above the tray of vegetables for approximately 45 minutes.
• Vegetables: Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place all the vegetables in a roasting tray, add the chickpeas, cumin, coriander seeds, nutmeg, sea salt, pepper, and olive oil and toss together.
• Cook in the preheated oven for 20 minutes then remove the foil and continue roasting for 20 to 30 minutes until the vegetables are tender and golden.

Steps:

• Combine the garlic, lemon juice, olive oil and thyme and pour over meat (see note). Turn to coat evenly and allow to marinate two hours at room temperature, turning occasionally.
• Drain the meat before broiling.
• After broiling, remove the meat to a platter. Carefully remove as much fat as possible (but not juices) from the broiling pan and, placing it over a top burner, add a little water and stir to loosen all browning. Add dill, salt and pepper and boil briefly. Turn off heat, add butter to taste, stir until melted and pour over meat.
