After broiling, remove the meat to a platter. Carefully remove as much fat as possible (but not juices) from the broiling pan and, placing it over a top burner, add a little water and stir to loosen all browning. Add dill, salt and pepper and boil briefly. Turn off heat, add butter to taste, stir until melted and pour over meat.
- Marinade may be used for broiled lamb chops, lamb steaks or butterflied leg of lamb.

Cooking Notes
Given the proportions of the other ingredients, that's a lot of lemon juice! Given its a marinade I'd mince (use a microplane) the garlic rather than just crushing. I'd also add a (tinned) anchovy fillet or two.
