Cooking: 30 minutes

Total: 45 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

4 lamb steaks
1 cup basmati rice
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp Moroccan spice blend
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil

Instructions

Season the lamb steaks with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until softened.
Add the Moroccan spice blend, cumin, paprika, turmeric, and cinnamon to the skillet. Stir and cook for an additional 2 minutes to toast the spices.
Add the basmati rice to the skillet and stir well to coat it with the spices. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
Meanwhile, heat a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lamb steaks and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the chopped cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the sliced lamb steaks on top of the Moroccan spiced rice. Enjoy!
