Seared Lamb Salad
I realized while eating this dish that I don't cook nearly enough lamb.

Ingredients
- 3/4 pound lamb leg steak or other meat from the leg
- 3 large handfuls mixed salad leaves, such as arugula, baby spinach, mint, sorrel, etc.
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small fresh chili, preferably red, deseeded and minced
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- Handful of mint leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Directions
- Marinate the lamb in 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce and the minced garlic.
- In the meantime, wash and tear the greens into pieces, if necessary.
- Combine the remaining soy sauce, lime juice, chili, and sugar.
- Stir until the sugar is dissolved, and taste for a balance of salty, sweet, and sour.
- Add the mint leaves and stir to combine.
- Grill, broil, or sear the lamb over very high heat until crisp and caramelized, and done to your liking.
- Allow to rest for 2-3 minutes after cooking, then slice across the grain into strips.
