Lamb steaks in beer marinade ver 1

Following up from the last post, I made lamb steaks in beer marinade as well.

Ingredients

• 1.5kg Lamb steaks
• A handful of fresh Rosemary (from our garden)
• One onion
• Whole grain mustard
• Half a bottle of Grolsch beer
• Garlic
• Lemon juice
• Olive Oil

Equipment

• Gas barbecue

Marinade

Make the marinade by chopping the onion finely and then add mustard, garlic, and lemon juice. Lightly rub olive oil onto lamb steaks, and add steaks to marinade. Pour half a bottle of beer into the steaks + marinade and refrigerate for an hour.

Cooking

Start the barbecue, and wait for the temperature to reach about 200 degrees Celsius. Cook the lamb steaks on the hot plate side.

Stuff to try next time

This wasn't too bad for a first time experiment, but the lamb steaks felt like they were missing something: it felt like the meat needed something to develop its flavour. I added some orange verjuice to the lamb before serving and this improved the lamb, but it needs something more cooked into the dish. Next time I'll try roasting some dried paprika on the hot plates before cooking the lamb, or I might try adding some citrus zest.
