Ingredients:
- 4 lamb steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon pepper seasoning
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Basting Mixture:
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, finely diced onion, and lemon pepper seasoning. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
-
Brush the Steaks:
- Brush the prepared basting mixture generously onto both sides of the lamb steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated with the flavorful marinade.
-
Broil or Grill the Steaks:
- Preheat your broiler or grill to medium-high heat.
- Place the lamb steaks on the grill or broiler pan, positioning them 4 to 6 inches away from the heat source.
- Cook the lamb steaks for 8 to 10 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), while medium requires 160°F (71°C).
-
Baste Occasionally:
- While the lamb steaks are cooking, baste them occasionally with the remaining basting mixture to infuse them with even more flavor and moisture.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the lamb steaks are cooked to perfection, remove them from the grill or broiler and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the Lemon Pepper Lamb Steaks hot alongside your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp garden salad.
- Garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice for an extra burst of flavor, if desired.

Recipe Notes:
- Marinating: For even more intense flavor, marinate the lamb steaks in the basting mixture for 30 minutes to 1 hour before cooking. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat and tenderize it.
- Grilling Tips: If grilling outdoors, preheat your grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates to prevent sticking. Grill the lamb steaks over direct heat for the best char and flavor.
- Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure your lamb steaks are cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remember that the internal temperature will rise a few degrees while the meat rests, so remove them from the heat just before they reach your target temperature.
