Grilled Garlic Mint Leg of Lamb Steak
Leg of lamb steaks are one of my favorite cuts from lamb. They are simply cut straight from a whole bone in leg of lamb. This is something you can’t do at home unless you have a bandsaw in your kitchen; so ask your butcher for assistance. The leg steaks grill just like any other beef steak. This particular steak was an 1 1/4” thick; so it will take about 6 minutes a side for medium rare.
