Ingredients

  • 500g loose Essential Baby Potatoes, halved if large
  • 500g pack 4 British Lamb Leg Steaks
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 2 sprig/s sprigs rosemary, leaves chopped
  • 145g jar No.1 Pesto alla Genovese
  • 80g pack watercress
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges

Method

  1. Boil the potatoes in salted water for 12-15 minutes, or until tender.

  2. Meanwhile, preheat the grill to medium. Season the lamb steaks, then drizzle over the vinegar and scatter with rosemary. Move them to a grill rack and cook for 3-4 minutes each side until nicely browned all over, and a little pink in the centre. Let them rest for a few minutes while still on the tray, covered with foil.

  3. Drain the potatoes and return to the pan. Lightly crush them using a fork. Gently stir in the pesto. Pull away any large stems from the watercress, then tumble in the leaves.

  4. Divide between 4 plates. Top with the lamb steaks and serve with lemon wedges, with any resting juices spooned over.

Cook’s tip

Lamb works well with a little acidity to cut through its natural fattiness – a splash of vinegar just before cooking, plus a squeeze of lemon juice to serve, balances the flavours.
