Posted on 14. Jul, 2009 by admin in Pesto

“Boneless lamb steaks are coated with a rosemary-Parmesan cheese crust, and pan-fried to perfection!”

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

* 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
* 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
* 1 clove garlic, chopped
* 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 1/3 cup dry bread crumbs
* salt and pepper to taste
* 1 egg, beaten
* 2 (3 ounce) boneless lamb rump steaks
* 2 tablespoons olive oil

DIRECTIONS

1. Puree the parsley, rosemary, garlic, Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and bread crumbs in a blender until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper; set aside. Brush the lamb steaks on one side with the beaten egg. Spread the rosemary pesto onto the egg-coated side of the lamb, coating liberally.
2. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the lamb steaks into the pan, pesto-side down. Cook 3 to 4 minutes until the pesto mixture has lightly browned. Turn the steaks over, and continue cooking until done to your desired degree of doneness, 3 to 4 minutes for medium.
