Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat lamb steaks dry with a paper towel. Season generously on both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Sear lamb 90 seconds per side without moving. Edges should look opaque; center stays pink and juicy.

  4. Step 4

    Reduce heat to medium. Add smashed garlic and rosemary sprigs to the pan. Let sizzle 2 minutes until fragrant.

  5. Step 5

    Drizzle remaining 2 tbsp oil and the vinegar over lamb. Squeeze half a lemon over everything.

  6. Step 6

    Slide lamb onto plates. Spoon warm garlic oil over top. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Tools you’ll need
