Instructions

Scroll down to the lamb steak recipe card for more detailed instructions on how to cook a lamb steak. Here's a quick overview + photos to see how to make this recipe in general.

1. Marinate room temperature lamb steak in plain yogurt for 15 minutes to two hours before grilling.

The acidity of the yogurt quickly tenderizes the meat, and adds another layer of flavor to this lamb steak recipe.

2. After the lamb has rested, remove excess yogurt before grilling so it doesn't burn. Use a clean paper towel to blot the yogurt off your lamb steak. Then season with lemon pepper and place on a hot grill.

3. Add fresh asparagus to the grill or cast iron skillet right away. The lamb steak and asparagus will take about the same amount of time to cook. You can use other vegetables, but cook times may change.

4. Grill the lamb for 5 minutes on each side for a medium rare steak. Your lamb steak will release off the grill easily once it's cooked enough.

5. Remove lamb steak once it's done. The meat should be 145+ degrees in the middle. 170 degrees is well done, so I usually like my steaks between 145-160 degrees for a nice medium-rare. That's how to cook a lamb steak.

You can use an instant read thermometer or meat thermometer.

6. Make sure to let your lamb steak stand for 10 minutes before eating. This will seal in the juices, so you'll get a tender and juicy steak instead of a juicy plate.

This lamb steak is great with a baked potato, rice, pasta salad, etc.
