Easy Zone-friendy Dinner

Welcome to Wednesday and my recipe of the week!

Tonight I made the most delicious meal and it only took about 20 minutes to prep and cook.


I made broiled Lamb Steaks with Broccoli and Red Bell Peppers;

(Ok, so I'm not the greatest photographer... but I promise to work on my skills!)

I bought boneless leg of lamb steaks at Whole Foods ($10.99/lb) seasoned them with dried rosemary, a little kosher salt and pepper, put them on a baking sheet, and then under the broiler on high for 6 minutes per side.

While they were cooking, I rinsed the Broccoli and Bell Peppers and put a pot of water with a steamer insert on the stove to heat. I chopped the Broccoli into 4" spears and chopped the Bell Peppers into 2" dice.

After I flipped the Lamb Steaks over, I put the veggies into the steamer and covered the pot. When the Lamb was done I took it out of the oven and turned the heat under the veggies off, but left the lid on

Next I mixed 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of dried rosemary, some kosher salt and pepper in a small bowl. I put the hot veggies in a large glass bowl and poured the olive oil mixture over it, stirring to lightly coat.

My portion pictured, plus the apple I had for desert was approximately a 5 block Zone meal - really delicious!

In order to make the most of the time I spent shopping and cooking, I made 4 additional portions which I put in tupperware to enjoy later this week.

If you make this at home, please leave your comments - let me know what you think!
