In many countries street grills are set up outside butcher shops or in street markets so customers can have a quick lunch, a bit like healthy fast-food.

How to Make Grilled Lamb Leg Steak

First the meat is seasoned with salt and pepper and grilled over high heat to an internal temperature of 135 F for medium rare or 140 F for medium doneness. Here chef uses a griddle. You could also use a cast iron skillet on a grill to cook the meat, mushrooms or both. Alternately, everything can be pan fried. A nonstick pan is useful for cooking the fried eggs.

While the leg cooks, you add mushrooms to the griddle or a pan and cook until browned. Butter some toast and cook it on the griddle too. Remove the lamb from the heat when it’s done and rest for a few minutes before serving, then fry some sunny side up eggs to serve alongside.

Oyster Mushrooms

Chef uses thinly sliced fresh oyster mushrooms in this recipe browned to enhance their nutty flavor. They’re widely cultivated mushrooms and are easy to find at most supermarkets but you can use any mushroom you like. Two other fun mushrooms you can find to serve with lamb are golden oyster mushrooms and chestnut mushrooms. Whatever mushroom you use, make sure to cook them until they start to get golden brown for the best flavor.
