I was blessed to receive an amazing package of exotic and interesting goodies from our good friend Jake (
TNJAKE
) in out Christmas exchange. One of the items I received was a package of 6 lamb t-bones. Tracy not being a fan of lamb would not have appreciated them so I waited till she was gonna be gone one evening and I'd cook some of them up. This happened last Thursday. I'd have loved to do some seafood but those lamb steaks have been screaming at me for couple months so I indulged. Got three of them out, brushed with some of my garlic infused olive oil, a sprinkle of salt and pepper, then a light dusting of dill. I know a lot of people use rosemary on their lamb but D didn't have any so the dill seemed like a viable substitute.
The package of steaks
Seasoned up and resting to get happy
Got the sear burner fired up on the grill and running wide open...around 1100*. Time to put the meat on
Dinner plated. Did some new red potatoes mixed with sour cream, Parmesan cheese, and a little salt as well as a nice salad
Money shot. Perfect medium rare
When I was a kid my mother cooked lamb for me pretty regularly but I've not eaten is in years. I've also never cooked any. If I'd messed them up though I'd not be able to use that as an excuses being they they cook just like beef steaks, and I've read so much here. It would have been inexcusable to have messed up. I'll say this: those little steaks were amazing!! One was just a tiny bit tough but not at all bad. the other two were simply exquisite!! So tender, so juicy, and so incredibly flavorful. I wound up ditching the knife and fork. Just picked them up and gnawed till the bones were clean. No question in my mind though, if I could get Tracy to try these, she would love them. She just needs to get past the stigma she has developed from somewhere. I'll reach out once again and give a huge thanks to Jake for sharing these. It was a thoroughly enjoyable meal and I look forward to doing the other three that are left.
Thanks for dropping in everybody. See y'all soon.
