Cajun Lamb Steaks
Kcal 333, Protein 36, Carbs 2 fat 20, Sat 4g
Serves 4
Ingredients
3 tbsp cayenne pepper
3 slightly rounded tbsp paprika
5 tsp ground cumin
2 rounded tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp salt
4 lean lamb leg steaks
juice of 1 lemon
2-3 tbsp olive oil
Process
1. Add all the ingredients into a jar and shake well.
2. Toss 4 lean lamb leg steaks in the juice of 1 lemon and set aside in a non-metallic dish for 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle each side of the steaks with 1⁄2-1 tsp of the spice mix, rub it into the meat and marinate for 2-4 hours. If you’re pushed for time and can’t leave it this long the spice mix will still work but will be a little fiercer. To cook, smear the meat with 2-3 tbsp olive oil and barbecue for 3-4 minutes on each side
