Simply Herbed up Lamb Steaks

Chrissyo's Note:

This recipe is best prepared a day ahead. It gives the herbs time to soak into the lamb. The rosemary and tarragon work really well with this dish. We often have this for our Friday night easy dinner with a good Aussie red wine. NOTE: The prep time is for the marinade. I usually only marinate the lamb overnight in the fridge. Cooking time will depend on how you like you lamb cooked.

Hi Chrissyo Loved this easy recipe. I marinated it for 12 hours. Unfortuneately I had only dried herbs to use but it was still delicious. I will make it again when the garden has fresh herbs - I can't imagine that it could possible be much tastier than with the dried. The touch of lemon is the final great flavor boost - Love Aussie Lamb

Very easy to make. The only change I made was that I had to use dried rosemary & tarragon....I am sure it didn't change the flavour. I also added in a little garlic as I just love that stuff :) This is a keeper for sure for me. I served them with a tossed lettuce salad with cherry tomatoes & potatoes that I pre-cooked in microwave (in jackets) and then 'smashed' & rolled them in the marinade & grilled them along with the steaks. Yummy:)
