Why Cook Lamb In The Air Fryer?
When you cook any type of steak it’s important to make sure your pan is at a specific temperature. Otherwise, your meat can cook too slowly, or the outside can cook too quickly causing burned outsides and raw insides.
The Air Fryer makes this simple by creating a consistent temperature inside, keeping the meat crispy on the outside, and tender and juicy on the inside. Lamb can be expensive, so it’s important to follow a good recipe. You all know I test my recipes extensively, and this is an excellent Spicy Lamb Sirloin Steak recipe!
Are Lamb Steaks Tough?
If cooked incorrectly, almost any cut of meat can become tough and hard to eat.
These air fryer lamb steaks are tender and delicious, just the way that any cut of lamb should be when you cut into it.
How Is Lamb Supposed To Be Cooked?
This can be a hot topic of conversation among home cooks and chefs. The USDA recommends that lamb be cooked to an internal temperature of at least 145F (or well done) before consumption.
However, a lot of people prefer the texture and flavor of lamb that is cooked to medium, or around 135F.
That being said, enjoy lamb the way you prefer it cooked, but do so at your own risk.

If you buy pre-made spice blends, it can totally change the way this recipe, or any recipe, turns out. I always encourage my readers to grind their own spices when they can, because it creates a more consistent flavor profile, and the spices and fresh and more flavorful.
This recipe for Spicy Lamb Sirloin Steak uses my Garam Masala spice mix , which does vary a lot by region. My recipe is easy to make and is designed perfectly for this lamb recipe (and all my recipes that use it).
How To Make Lamb Steak
- Into a blender bowl, add all ingredients except the lamb chops.
- Pulse and blend until the onion is minced fine and all ingredients are blended. This takes about 3-4 minutes.
- Place the lamb chops into a large bowl. Use a knife to slash into the meat and fat to allow the marinade to penetrate better.
- Add the blended spice paste and mix well.
- Allow the mixture to rest for 30 minutes or up to 24 hours in a refrigerator.
- Let your air fryer to 330F for 15 minutes and place the lamb steaks in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook, flipping halfway through.
- Using a meat thermometer, ensure that the meat has reached an internal temperature of 145F for medium well, and serve.

Pakistani Zarda Sweet Rice is a delicious Pakistani dessert that is full of rich flavor and texture. It’s famous for the pretty yellow color it gets from the saffron that’s in the recipe. It also has nuts and raisins making it have an interesting texture, besides just the softness of the rice.
Do You Have To Grind Your Own Spices?
I suppose you don’t have to grind your own spices, but I highly recommend it. When you grind your own spices, it keeps the herbs and spices fresh, and you garner much more flavor for your recipe.
In this Pakistani Zarda Sweet Rice specifically, grinding the saffron helps to release the color and flavor more so it can absorb into the rice while it cooks. You can just throw in sprigs of saffron, but the results won’t be as delicious.
What Kind of Rice is Sweet Rice?
For this sweet rice recipe, I chose to use basmati rice. I use it in a majority of my recipes, so that’s what I had in my pantry. You can also use glutenous rice, or jasmine rice for this dish.
Is Sweet Rice Healthy?
Calling sweet rice healthy may be a bit of a stretch since it contains sugar, ghee, and whole milk. However, it does have several healthy elements, such as nuts, raisins, and spices.
Always know your dietary restrictions before indulging in a new recipe to know if it is a good fit for your personal health.
Ingredients Needed
Saffron Mixture:
- Saffron Strands
- Sugar Or Other Sweetener Equivalent
- Whole Milk
For the Rice:
- Ghee , divided
- Sliced Pistachios
- Sliced Almonds
- Raisins

How To Make Sweet Rice
- Make the Saffron Mixture: In a mortar and pestle , grind together the 1 teaspoon of sugar and saffron strands. You’re doing this so that the saffron mixes well with the rice later.
- Mix the saffron with 1/4 cup warm milk (15 seconds in the microwave) and set aside
- You can also just soak the saffron threads with 1/4 cup warm milk (15 seconds in the microwave) and set aside, but grinding the saffron first releases more aroma and color into the rice.
- Turn your instant pot on sauté High and when it is hot, add 1 tablespoon of ghee. When the ghee is hot add the nuts and raisins and cook until they are lightly browned and the raisins are puffy about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove nuts and raisins leaving behind as much of the ghee as possible.
- Add another tablespoon of ghee and all remaining ingredients including rice, water, sugar, saffron milk (saffron and milk together), ground cardamom, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves
- Cook at high pressure for 6 mins HP and allow it to release all pressure naturally.
