Instructions

  1. Step 1

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

  2. Step 2

    Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Sear lamb 2 minutes per side without moving. Center should still feel soft when pressed.

  4. Step 4

    Transfer steaks to a warm plate. Add shallot and herb sprigs to the pan, cook 30 seconds until fragrant.

  5. Step 5

    Pour wine into the pan, scrape up brown bits, and simmer 2 minutes. Whisk in mustard and butter until glossy.

  6. Step 6

    Return steaks to pan, spoon sauce over top, then squeeze lemon juice over. Serve immediately.

Tools you’ll need

  • 12-inch heavy-bottomed skillet (cast iron or stainless steel)
