This delicious recipe for Lamb backstrap is courtesy of Zoe Bingley-Pullin on behalf of My Food Bag.


Ingredients (serves 2)

  • TOMATO, BASIL AND PARMESAN SAUCE
  • 1 punnet cocktail truss tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup basil leaves, roughly torn
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped oregano leaves
  • 3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
  • 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
  • LAMB
  • 350g lamb backstrap
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 lemon, juice
  • TO SERVE
  • 175g green beans, ends trimmed

Method

  1. BBQ grill to medium-high (if using). Bring a full kettle to the boil.
  2. Combine tomatoes, basil, oregano, parmesan and olive oil in a medium-size bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to stand for 20 minutes to allow the flavours to develop while you prepare the rest of the meal.
  3. Pat lamb dry with paper towels and season with salt. Transfer to a plate and rub with olive oil and lemon juice.
  4. Heat a griddle pan or BBQ grill (if using) to medium-high heat. Cook lamb for 1-2 minutes each side for medium-rare, or until done to your liking. Cover and set aside to rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly.
  5. While the lamb is resting, transfer tomato sauce ingredients to a saucepan on medium-high heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until tomatoes start breaking down. Stir every minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  6. Place green beans into a small bowl and cover with boiling water, leave for about 1 minute, drain and refresh in cold water.
  7. TO SERVE: divide green beans between plates, top with sliced lamb and drizzle with tomato, basil and parmesan sauce.

  • This is mouthwatering and making me lick my lips right now. I’ve never cooked lamb backstrap. It’s a new thing on all these cooking shows, but not a cut of meat I’d ever noticed before. Looks amazing through.
