Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine the garlic, lemon juice, olive oil and thyme and pour over meat (see note). Turn to coat evenly and allow to marinate two hours at room temperature, turning occasionally.

  2. Step 2

    Drain the meat before broiling.

  3. Step 3

    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.

Tip
  • Marinade may be used for broiled lamb chops, lamb steaks or butterflied leg of lamb.

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.
