Lamb steak with mushroom sauce and leftover vegetables

On the weekend of the 13. and 14. December Icelandic Lamb has been at the Matarmarkaður – The Artisan Food Fayre, in the Harpa in Reykjavik. This year we did some showcooking. And this is one of our recipes:

Guðrún Helga Hafliðadóttir’s competition dish from “Köldmatur á korteri” (for 2 persons)

Ingredients

  • Lamb
  • 400 gr Lamb, thinly sliced
  • salt
  • oil
  • Mushroom sauce
  • Chestnut mushrooms
  • Oil
  • Butter
  • Onion, sliced
  • Sherry vinegar
  • Water
  • Cream
  • Soy sauce
  • Leftover vegetables
  • What’s in the fridge?

Instructions

Lamb:

Start by salting the lamb on both sides and frying in oil for about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and set aside under a piece of cloth or aluminium foil.

Mushroom sauce:

Chop the mushrooms and fry in the pan, first in oil and then add butter and onion. Let simmer for 2 minutes and then add a little vinegar, then a little water and then cream to the pan. Boil quickly so the sauce thickens, season with a dash of soy sauce and then remove from the pan.

Leftover vegetables:

Find leftover vegetables in the fridge, heat in a pan and serve with the dish and enjoy.
