This post may contain affiliate links. Cooking lamb steaks has become one of my favorite meats to grill over fire. A lot of people sometimes forget how delicious American lamb can actually be! It is not “gamey” or different tasting. It is hearty, zesty and full of great flavor! Post Sponsored by The American Lamb Board It just so happen to be Lamb Lover’s Month right now, so I invited some friends over to enjoy the wonderful flavor of American lamb with this Herb Butter American Lamb Steaks recipe. How to Cook these Lamb Steaks Grilled right over the fire and seasoning with only salt & pepper, this recipe is a sure fire win for those that long for hearty meat from the great USA. The twist with this recipe is the herb butter. You will make your own homemade herb butter sauce to go on top of the lamb steaks while they are resting. This zesty and tangy butter sauce will help the lambs natural flavors come to the forefront of the palate. A little bit of thyme, rosemary, garlic and black pepper are all combined into this herb butter mixture that you can honestly put on top of an cut of American lamb. After you lather the meat in butter, you will squeeze some lemon over top and slice into your steaks. Make sure to push out some of that bone marrow that is still inside the center bone of the meat. Add it to some of your bites for an extra kick in flavor as well! All in all, make sure to find some local American lamb and make this recipe with your family & friends!
