Delicious lamb leg steaks

3-4 cloves garlic
salt
pepper
3 anchovy fillets
1 tbsp chopped rosemary - chop as fine as possible
2 tbsp olive oil plus more when cooking
4 lamb leg steaks
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 cup beef stock
2 tbsp sour cream/cream
1 sprig thyme

Grind the garlic, salt, pepper, oil and anchovies into a paste using a mortar and pestle. Add the chopped rosemary and mix.

Massage the mixture onto the steaks. Cover and let it marinate for a couple of hours.

Heat a pan to high. Add a dash of oil and put the steaks in searing each side off for two minutes.

Then reduce heat and cover and cook each side for a few minutes (to the required level of done-ness). I cooked the steaks for about 4 mins on each side till there was a slight spring when you touched the meat. This was a nice medium rare.

Take the steaks out and keep aside covered to rest.

Toss the mushrooms into the pan with the thyme and sauté for a minute. Add the mustard and the stock and bring to a boil with the pan juices.

Add a dollop of cream and mix. take is off the heat and serve over the steak.

Enjoy!
