Felt like having some lamb for dinner tonight.. I’d never cooked lamb steaks before, so I was a bit nervous! Decided baking them would be the easiest to make (and hardest to stuff up), so I made a Lamb Steaks in Mushroom & Onion Sauce, served with pumpkin mash and vegtables. They turned out well! All creamy and tasty, and the sauce was all rich and flavourful from the baking. I baked it for almost an hour though, so they were a little overdone, but still yummy and the meat wasn’t tough.

And the corn on the cob? I bought it at Coles supermarket, because I saw they were selling “organic corn”, so I got excited as when I got organic corn at Macro, it was blimmin’ fantastic. This one from Coles? It sucked!! It was even worse than normal corn.. all hard and dry and not sweet. Blech. Will never buy organic from lousy Coles again.

Anyway, these lamb steaks also go well with a simple mashed potato if you can’t be bothered preparing the various sides. I really liked it with the mashed pumpkin & herbs though, all creamy and went well with the lamb :)~
