Cumin Lamb Steaks with Smashed Potatoes, Wilted Spinach and Red Wine
First off, feast your eyes on this piece of culinary art!
Ingredients:
- For the Cumin Lamb Steaks:
- 4 lamb steaks
- 2 tablespoons of cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of minced garlic
- For the Smashed Potatoes:
- 1 pound of baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped chives for garnish (optional)
- For the Wilted Spinach:
- 4 cups of fresh spinach
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- For the Red Wine Sauce:
- 1 cup of red wine (the good stuff!)
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
Instructions:
- Start by seasoning those lovely lamb steaks with cumin, salt, and pepper. Don’t be shy with the seasoning, we want flavor here!
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the lamb steaks and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are beautifully browned and cooked to your liking. Add the minced garlic in the last minute for a flavor bomb! Remove from skillet and set aside.
- For the smashed potatoes, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add in the baby potatoes and cook until fork-tender. Drain and let them cool for a bit. Then, smash each potato with the bottom of a cup (it’s therapeutic!). Dot with butter, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and chives if you’re feeling fancy.
- In a separate pan, heat olive oil and add garlic. After it gets fragrant, toss in the fresh spinach, and sauté until wilted.
- For the red wine sauce, in the same skillet you used for the steaks, pour in the red wine, add sugar and bring it to a simmer. Let it reduce to a thicker sauce.
- Finally, plate your masterpiece: lamb steaks on the side of smashed potatoes and wilted spinach, generously drizzle with red wine sauce. Voilà!
There you have it! A meal that’s delicious and visually stunning. Whether you’re cooking for a date or just treating yourself on a Friday night, this dish is sure to impress. Grab a glass of red wine, kick back, and enjoy the fruits of your labor!
