List of Ingredients

lamb - Sweetened Lamb Steaks w/Mushrooms

4-6 lamb steaks, pounded to tenderize
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
All-purpose flour for dredging
4 Tbs (60 ml) butter
2 onion, thinly sliced
1/2 lb (225 g) mushrooms, sliced
1 tsp (5 ml) fresh thyme or 1/2 tsp (2 ml) dried
1 Tbs (15 ml) cornstarch (cornflour) mixed with
1 cup (250 ml) beef stock or water
2-3 Tbs (30-45 ml) port wine (optional)
2 Tbs (30 ml) red currant jelly (optional)

Season the tenderized lamb steaks with salt and pepper, dredge in
the flour, and set aside. Heat half the butter in a large heavy
skillet over moderate heat and saute the onions until tender but not
brown, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and saute an additional 5
minutes. Transfer the onions and mushrooms to a plate and heat the
remaining butter in the skillet. Brown the steaks on both sides and
spoon the onions and mushrooms on top. Reduce the heat and simmer
covered until the steaks are tender, about 30 minutes. Add the
cornstarch mixture and optional port wine and red currant jelly,
stirring and shaking the skillet until the liquid comes to a boil
and thickens. Serve immediately. Serves 4 to 6.
