Tips and Conclusion

If you prefer a milder flavor, you can reduce the amount of chimichurri or opt for a less spicy version of the sauce.

Charlotte potatoes can be replaced with any small, firm potatoes like Asterix or baby potatoes.

For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle some extra virgin olive oil over the finished dish, especially if serving with a green salad.

Fresh mushrooms like cremini or portobello can be used instead of white mushrooms to add more depth to the flavor.

To achieve perfectly cooked lamb steaks, use a cooking thermometer. The ideal temperature for a medium-rare lamb steak is around 60°C (140°F) at the center of the meat.
This dish is a delicious combination of succulent lamb with flavorful vegetables, perfectly complemented by the spicy and fresh touch of chimichurri. Simple to prepare, it’s an excellent choice for special dinners or everyday meals. The mix of textures between the soft potatoes, sautéed mushrooms, and tender meat provides a rich and comforting culinary experience. With the tips above, you can adapt the dish to your liking, making it even more versatile and irresistible.
