Ingredients

KUMARA WEDGES

  • 800g red kumara, cut into 1cm-thick wedges

TARRAGON LAMB RUMPS

  • 600g lamb rump steaks (at room temperature)
  • 2 tablespoons tarragon spice mix
  • ½ teaspoon salt

BEETROOT SALAD

  • 1 beetroot
  • ½ Lebanese cucumber
  • 1-2 sticks celery
  • ½ bag baby spinach leaves, roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon sugar

DIJONNAISE

  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar (e.g. white wine, cider)

Steps

  1. oven to 220°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper.
  2. Toss kumara wedges on prepared tray with a drizzle of oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, until browned and tender. Turn once during cooking.
  3. While kumara cooks, pat lamb dry with paper towels and toss in a shallow bowl with tarragon spice mix, salt and a drizzle of oil. Season with pepper and set aside to marinate for about 5 minutes.
  4. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook lamb for 2-3 minutes each side for medium (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking. Set aside, covered in foil, to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing thickly.
  5. While lamb cooks and rests, prepare salad. Scrub and grate beetroot; cut cucumber in half lengthways and thinly slice on an angle; dice celery 1cm. Toss together in a large bowl with all remaining beetroot salad ingredients and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  6. In a small bowl, combine all Dijonnaise ingredients.
  7. pile kumara wedges on plates and top with slices of tarragon lamb. Drizzle with Dijonnaise and serve with a handful of beetroot salad on the side.
