Description

This savory lamb stir-fry is a quick yet elegant weeknight dinner that highlights the rich flavor of lamb leg steaks. Marinated in a bright mixture of lemon juice, garlic, and dried oregano, the meat becomes tender and aromatic before hitting the hot wok. The dish is balanced with crisp red bell peppers and earthy mushrooms, creating a satisfying contrast in textures. It&# 226;€™s a perfect solution for busy evenings when you want a nutritious, protein-rich meal that feels special without requiring hours of prep. Serve it over rice or with crusty bread to soak up the flavorful juices.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, cornstarch, 1 clove crushed garlic, oregano, and salt to create the marinade.
  2. Trim excess fat from the lamb steaks and remove any bones.
  3. Cut the lamb across the grain into thin strips, approximately 1/3 inch thick, to ensure tenderness.
  4. Place the lamb strips in a plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and turn to coat the meat evenly.
  5. Refrigerate the marinated lamb for 30 minutes.
  6. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a wok or large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  7. Add the second clove of crushed garlic to the hot oil and stir-fry for about 10 seconds until fragrant.
  8. Add the red bell pepper strips and sliced mushrooms to the pan. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
  9. Remove the cooked vegetables from the pan and set aside on a plate, keeping them warm.
  10. Drain the lamb strips from the marinade, discarding the liquid.
  11. Add the lamb strips to the hot wok in batches (if necessary) to avoid overcrowding. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
  12. Return the vegetables to the pan with the lamb. Toss everything together over high heat for 1 minute to combine flavors and heat through.
  13. Serve immediately while hot.
