Ingredients
  

Lamb
  • 4 lamb steaks about 1 inch thick
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
Onion Gravy
  • 2 large onions thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 1 cup beef or lamb broth
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. Pat the lamb steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the lamb steaks and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, melt the butter. Add the sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring often, until soft and golden, about 10 to 12 minutes.
  4. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir well so it coats everything evenly.
  6. Slowly pour in the broth while stirring until the gravy is smooth and begins to thicken.
  7. Add the thyme and return the lamb steaks to the pan. Spoon some gravy over the top.
  8. Cover and let simmer on low heat for 10 minutes until the lamb is tender and cooked through.
  9. Serve warm with plenty of onion gravy over each steak.

Notes

Keep the onions at medium to low heat so they soften and sweeten instead of burning. Add the broth slowly while stirring to keep the gravy smooth and silky. For serving, try mashed potatoes, buttered rice, roasted carrots, or green beans.
