For bright green broccoli, plunge the cooked broccoli into cold water, leave for 2 minutes then drain again. Alternatively use BBQ grill to cook lamb for about 3 minutes each side for medium-rare, or until cooked to your liking.
Ingredients
Kumara Beet Salad
- 600g orange kumara, scrubbed and cut into 1.5cm-thick wedges
- 1 beetroot, ends trimmed, scrubbed and cut into 1cmthick wedges
- 1 carrot, peeled and cut into 2cm-thick rounds
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons GF maple syrup or runny honey
- 2 teaspoons lamb spice mix
- 1 broccoli
Spiced Lamb Steaks
- 600g lamb rump steaks (at room temperature)
- 2 teaspoons lamb spice mix
Chimichurri
- 3 tablespoons chimichurri
- 1½ tablespoons GF mayonnaise
- ½ tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Steps
-
Preheat oven to 220°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Bring a full kettle to the boil. Preheat BBQ hot plate or grill to high (if using). Toss kumara, beetroot and carrot on prepared tray with olive oil, maple syrup/honey and first measure of lamb spice mix. Roast for 25-30 minutes, until tender and caramelised. Toss halfway to ensure even cooking.
-
When vegetables have 15 minutes cook time remaining, finely dice broccoli florets and stalk. Place in a medium, heat-proof bowl with a pinch of salt and cover with boiling water. Cover with a plate and leave to cook for 6 minutes then drain.
-
Pat lamb dry with paper towels and coat with second measure of lamb spice mix. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook lamb for 2-3 minutes each side for medium-rare (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking.
-
Set lamb aside on a plate, covered with foil, to rest for 5 minutes, before slicing thinly against the grain.
-
While lamb rests, combine all chimichurri ingredients in a small bowl. Toss roasted vegetables with broccoli and 2 tablespoons of the chimichurri mixture in a large bowl, until combined.
-
To serve, divide kumara beet salad between plates, top with slices of spiced lamb steaks and spoon over remaining chimichurri sauce.
