Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preparing your lamb neck. Cut it into approximately 2cm cubes, ensuring they are bite-sized. Cutting them too small might cause them to lose their juices during cooking, so maintaining a consistent, moderate size is key.
Step 2
Take half of your seasoning mixture and sprinkle it evenly over the cubed lamb. Gently massage the seasoning into the meat with your hands. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate and reduce any gamey odor.
Step 3
Prepare your vegetables for stir-frying. Dice the onion into roughly 2cm pieces. Separate the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Leave the cherry tomatoes whole after removing their stems. Having your vegetables prepped beforehand will make the cooking process much smoother.
Step 4
Heat a pan over high heat and add a generous amount of olive oil. Sauté the diced onion until it becomes translucent and fragrant. Once the onion is softened, add the marinated lamb cubes. Sear the lamb quickly on all sides until it develops a nice brown color. Cooking over high heat ensures the lamb’s juices are locked in.
Step 5
Once the lamb has browned, add the prepared broccoli florets to the pan. Stir-fry them together with the lamb and onions. When the broccoli is starting to soften slightly, add the remaining seasoning ingredients (salt, pepper, and herb powder) and mix well to coat everything.
Step 6
Continue to stir-fry, allowing the seasonings to meld with the ingredients. Once the lamb reaches your desired level of doneness, increase the heat to high for about 1-2 minutes. This final high-heat sear will intensify the flavors and create a beautiful caramelization.
Step 7
Finally, add the whole cherry tomatoes to the pan and stir-fry for just 1-2 more minutes. You want them to soften slightly but not become mushy, retaining a pleasant texture. Once everything is harmoniously cooked, turn off the heat. Serve immediately on a warm plate for a beautifully presented and delicious Lamb Chop Steak. For an extra kick, serve with a side of cumin dipping sauce!
