Information About Lamb Leg Steaks.
Lamb is a traditional favourite meat with a good medium strength flavour & most people enjoy a Roast Lamb Dinner or steaks & chops. Your Boneless leg of Lamb Steaks are cut from frozen to give good even steaks for equal cooking times. Each pack of Lamb Leg Steaks is approximately 1.2 Kilos with 5-7 steaks per pack, feeding 4-6 people.
The Boneless Lamb Legs are made up of all the main roasting muscles; Topside, Silverside & Thick or Knuckle. The texture of the meat is smoother in the Topside & Silverside than that of the Thick. The muscles are, by nature, are fairly fibrous & have better flavour because of this reason. When you cook you Leg Steaks, ensure they are not to under done & bright pink in the middle like a Beef Steak because you get more tender results.
Lamb is classed as a Red Meat & has a high Protein content, it is also a good source of vitamins & minerals. Some older Lamb tends to be fatty with a much stronger taste; Hogget Meat or Mutton. We choose the younger Lamb to be less fatty with a great taste that is not too strong. Please see this link for more nutritional information about Lamb Meat.
The Lamb Leg Steak is boneless with only a thin layer of fat on the outside of each steak. The steaks are in one piece because the Legs of Lamb have been specially “Tunnel Boned”; this means the expert butchers have removed the bones without cutting the leg open. Normally a Leg would be “Butterflied” to remove all bones, the advantage of tunnel boning is that leaving the leg as one piece, keeps all the moisture in when cooking.
The whole Boneless Legs of Lamb has been fully prepared & had the “Lamb Shank” removed to leave just the “Fillet End of Leg” for the Lamb Leg Steaks. The fillet end of Lamb Leg is then cut across the grain (ensuring the fibres in your steaks breakdown during cooking) all the way through to create even cut steaks. These steaks are then stacked together & sealed in clear recyclable pouches so you can keep frozen easily at home. As the Lamb Leg Steaks are cut frozen you can remove the pack from your freezer & break apart what steaks you need, placing the rest back into the freezer.
When creating hand cut products like this not all the steaks are going to be the same size. The Boneless Legs of Lamb are a natural cut of meat that varies in size, we have selected legs within a certain size to help make more even pack sizes. The steaks are cut from top to bottom & will be a very similar thickness. At either end of the Lamb Leg the steaks will be not as wide as those in the middle because the leg is narrower at either end.
Having no bone in your Lamb Leg Steak gives you better value & more meat for your money; the weight you buy is the weight you cook, with not too much shrinkage. As the Legs are trimmed before cutting & we produce larger volumes for restaurants & wholesale orders, we can make savings with the buying & the finished lamb Leg Steak.
We make the Lamb Steaks more affordable when ordering online for your meat shopping. See how we give you more meat for your money #moremeatfym
How to cook your Lamb Leg Steak
You can cook you Leg Steaks in the oven, on the Barbecue, under the grill, in a slow cooker, on a spit roast, or in a pan / skillet. Steaks are mainly grilled or cooked in the pan at home for speed & convenience. Like any Steak people have their own preferred “Doneness” & one of the best ways to get your ideal results is by using a temperature probe & searing both sides. Before any cooking is done, the meat needs to be out of the fridge for an hour or so to take the chill out of the meat.
Searing your steak before any baking, or grilling always gives the best results. The benefit of searing the outside of your leg Steaks first, is to keep as much of the natural moisture & flavour inside the meat. How ever you cook your Lamb Leg Steak, remember to rest it after cooking; this will allow the meat to relax whilst it finishes cooking, & for the meat to reabsorb its natural juices for better flavour.
We have added 2 links below showing different ways to cook your Lamb Steak & the temperatures for your preferred “Doneness”
( Doneness; the level at which you prefer your meat to be cooked to:- rare, medium, well done).

- How To Cook Your Lamb Leg Steak 6 Different ways
PRO TIP:
Once cooked, let your leg steaks rest on a wooden board covered over to allow the meat to relax & absorb the natural juices.
Packaging, food safety & provenance of your Lamb Leg Steaks
Your Lamb Steaks are packed into clear recyclable pouches so you can see how many pieces are inside & to protect the Steaks when stored. The leg Steaks are cut at -18°c & packaged quickly after cutting, then labelled & boxed, stored at -18°c. Keeping the Steaks frozen ensures all the natural moisture remains inside your Lamb Steaks for guaranteed results. The pouches are a great way of thawing out your Steaks in the fridge & to bring them up to temperature before seasoning.
We take every precaution when cutting & packing your Boneless Leg Steaks to give a longer shelf life, keep the flavour of the meat & to make sure the products are safe. The cutting rooms that produce all our products in are low in temperature to keep the meat cold & stop it from losing any moisture. The production areas are very hygienic & are under very strict BRCGS approved guidelines to produce the safest meat possible.
Protective clothing, deep cleaning daily in production rooms, fast throughput to keep meat packaged as much as possible, are some of the ways we maintain the highest standards of food production.
Our choice of Lamb to create our select meat cuts is from New Zealand because of the consistency of the meat quality & the cutting. New Zealand has some of the cleanest air with rich green pastures that have remained unspoiled for centuries. The welfare of the animals is important to the farmers, along with sustainability from select herds to produce first class meat every year.
Lamb prices have continued to rise over the last 10 years & it has become very expensive to produce a consistent good quality meat. The prices in supermarkets & butchers has increased by as much as 40% & we have been fortunate to produce our Lamb Meat cuts at a more reasonable price. When shopping for Lamb online, we have made this more affordable for the average family budget, so you can enjoy delicious Lamb Steaks at home.
