I made the full recipe for 1.2K of lamb steaks and they drowned in the marinade, so would cut the marinade in half but the flavours of the herbs were great but the lemon predominated a little too much but then I should have known as the lemons at this time of year are pretty strong on flavour but when the DH put them onto the b-b-q it was total flare up so the steaks went up to the rack and were cooked there and to perfection to my way of liking (a nice pink texture in the centre but the DH likes his well done so he wasn't liking as much) but the DS and DM enjoyed, Thank you Chef mariajane, made for Bargain Basement
