Sometimes when I had lamb for either lunch or dinner, I had big problems sleeping at night. My body temperature would easily jump to an extraordinary level and I just felt like opening all the I windows at home.. I could have had too much of the meat I guess, otherwise such drama wouldn’t happen 

Anyway, it won’t stop me from liking this delicious lamb steak ever. I like it so much this way with mushroom black pepper sauce
