Serves: 2
Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 10–12 minutes
Total Time: 20–22 minutes

• Fresh Rosemary - 1 tbsp, finely chopped
• Fresh Thyme - 1 tsp
• Olive Oil - 1 tbsp
• Sea salt - To taste
• Freshly ground black pepper - To taste

Heat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan).

Pat the lamb steaks dry. Rub with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt and black pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes – this helps them cook evenly.

Heat an ovenproof frying pan over a high heat. Sear the lamb steaks for 1–2 minutes each side until nicely browned.

Transfer the pan straight into the oven and cook for 8–10 minutes for medium, or 10–12 minutes if you like it more done.

Remove from the oven, add a small knob of butter if you’re feeling indulgent, and rest the lamb for 5 minutes before serving.

• Lamb loves a rest – don’t skip it. That’s how you keep it juicy.
• Serve with roasted potatoes, seasonal greens or a simple mint sauce.
  
• Want more punch? Add a pinch of chilli flakes or a splash of lemon juice before serving.
