Steaks are a great way to enjoy leg of lamb without the time commitment of a whole roast.
Our leg steaks are cut from the upper portion of the leg of lamb. Each steak is a cross-section of the leg consisting of lean muscle surrounding a marrow-filled piece of bone. The meat is mild in flavor and has a rich red color.
Because the leg muscles are heavily used, leg steaks need careful cooking to ensure they do not become tough. The key to a tender, flavorful steak is a very hot and fast cook on the grill or in a skillet.
We recommend that you season your steak with salt, pepper, rosemary, and garlic, then cook it over medium-high heat for just a few minutes per side. You want to aim for an internal temperature of 125-130°F. Then, let the steaks rest for up to ten minutes before slicing against the grain.
It’s a quick and easy approach that rewards you with tender, juicy lamb perfect for enjoying any night of the week.
Each package of Plumb Rocky Farm leg steaks weighs roughly a pound and contains two steaks which is enough for two to four people.
** Icelandic Sheep are a heritage breed. They are the oldest purebred lamb and have a more mild flavor than other breeds. Our pasture-raised lambs eat a 100% grass diet which results in delicious, nutrient-rich meat. **
