Growers News:

Linwood Lamb:
Try our lamb steaks this week. These are large cuts weighting 1-1 ½ pounds per package. There are 2
steaks per package. As a family we like to lightly salt and peppered the steaks and put them on a hot
grill for 4 to 5 minutes per side. We enjoy them at 135-140 0 F internal temperature (medium rare to
medium). They are a family favorite, and we think you will enjoy them too!
If you need some other recipe ideas, The American Lamb board has a savory herb butter lamb steak
recipe using rosemary, thyme, garlic, and lemon juice. Visit their website for more information:
