Lamb Leg Steak with a Maple Chevre Shiitake Sauce
I have to try and catch up I have made so many recipes lately and quite a few from recipezaar, and am getting behind on posting them all. I guess I will start with this zaar members recipe. I tried this one the other night, it was really good, I was very skeptical of how the flavours would come together, I only ended up making this as other reviews had stated it was good. Whilst I am sure it will not be for everybody I thought it was really yummy I did make this with a lamb fillet as this is what I had on hand and I also used less goats cheese as I felt the entire amount would be too overpowering. Anyway if you would like to read the other reviews of this recipe please click here.

Ingredients

4 (1/2lb) Lamb leg steaks
10 Ounces shiitake mushrooms
1 lb Chevre cheese (or other goat cheese)
4 Ounces maple syrup
4 Ounces capers

Method

1. Salt and pepper lamb leg steak.

2. Grill or broil (approx).

3. Prepare sauce: Sauté sliced shiitake mushrooms in olive oil (approx), add leaves of rosemary, deglaze pan with wine, rid alcohol (smell will go from dry to sweet), add flour to make roux.

4. Lower heat to low.

5. Add diced parts of chevre.

6. Continue stirring mixture until cheese is integrated.
