LAMB STEAKS MARINATED IN SHERRY AND MINT

The marinade in this recipe is extremely quick to prepare, and is the key to its success: the sherry imparts a wonderful tang to the meat.

INGREDIENTS
6 large lamb steaks or
12 smaller chops

FOR THE MARINADE
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
1 tablespoons black peppercorns
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cup sherry
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves

SERVES 6

1. Finely chop the mint leaves and peppercorns in a food processor. Add the onion and process again until smooth. Add the rest of the marinade ingredients and process until completely mixed. The marinade should have a thick consistency.

2. Add the marinade to the meat and cover with plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator to marinate overnight.

3. Cook the steaks on a medium grill for 10—15 minutes, basting occasionally with the marinade.
