LAMB STEAK WITH LEBANESE SPICES



Lamb Steak With Lebanese Spices image

The Lebanese seven-spice mixture baharat (the Arabic word for spices) usually has a base of black pepper and allspice, along with coriander, cumin, clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, but that's not set in stone. Sometimes powdered ginger, cardamom and hot paprika are part of the mix. There are often more than seven spices, and sometimes fewer. It is an all-purpose spice blend, good for adding depth to stews, and as a rub for meat. London broil is what butchers call a boneless piece of meat from nearly any cut that is broiled or grilled and then sliced before serving, almost like a little roast. A butterflied leg of lamb has four such pieces, and grilling each separately is easier than cooking the whole boneless leg. You can buy chops instead, but they usually cost more.

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 butterflied lamb leg, about 1 1/2 pounds, or 4 lamb steaks or chops, 6 ounces each
Salt
2 teaspoons Lebanese baharat (seven-spice powder), see note
4 thinly sliced garlic cloves, plus 1/2 teaspoon grated garlic
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups plain yogurt, preferably whole-milk yogurt
4 Persian cucumbers, diced, about 1 cup
3 tablespoons chopped mint
Pinch of crushed red pepper
1 large bunch rainbow chard, about 1 1/2 pounds, cut in 2-inch-wide ribbons
Dill sprigs, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Lay butterflied lamb leg on a cutting board and cut into 4 equal pieces, approximately 6 ounces each. Trim extraneous fat or gristle.
  • Place lamb on a baking sheet and season on both sides with salt and the seven-spice powder. Sprinkle meat with sliced garlic and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Rub with your hands to coat, massaging the spices into the lamb. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour, or wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • Put yogurt in a mixing bowl and season with salt. Stir in cucumbers, mint, grated garlic and crushed red pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning. Set aside.
  • Put a large cast-iron skillet or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add lamb steaks in one layer and cook for about 5 minutes, until nicely browned. Turn pieces and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more, until juices appear on surface, for medium-rare. Transfer lamb to a cutting board and let rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. (Alternatively, broil lamb or grill over coals.)
  • While lamb is resting, put 2 tablespoons olive oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add chard and 1/4 cup water. Season lightly with salt. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until chard is just wilted. Remove chard from pan with a slotted spoon and transfer to a serving platter or individual plates.
  • Carve lamb on the bias in 1/8-inch-thick slices, against the grain, and place next to the chard. Garnish with dill sprigs, if desired, and serve with a spoonful of cucumber-yogurt sauce. Pass the rest of the sauce separately.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 to 16 lamb chops (depending on size)
2 tablespoon salt
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 lemons, juiced
2 tablespoons black pepper
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons Lebanese "7 spices"
1 1/2 cups water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 550 degrees F.
  • Place lamb chops in a 9 by 12-inch glass baking dish. Combine 1 tablespoon of salt, garlic and lemon juice. Pour over lamb chops. Combine 1 tablespoon of salt, pepper, paprika and "7 spices" to form a rub. Rub both sides of the lamb chops with this mixture.
  • Place chops back into the baking dish and add 1 1/2 cups of water gently on the side of the dish so as to keep the spices on the lamb chops.
  • Cover the dish with foil and seal well. This will ensure the chops stay juicy. Place in the oven at 550 degrees for 30 minutes. Then lower temperature to 400 degrees and bake for 1 1/2 hours.
