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 (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking.
Ingredients
Kumara Beet Salad
- 600g kumara, cut into 1.5cm wedges
- 1 beetroot, scrubbed and cut into 1cm wedges
- 1 carrot, cut into 2cm rounds
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons GF maple syrup or honey
- 2 teaspoons GF lamb spice mix
- 1 broccoli
Spiced Lamb Steaks
- 550g lamb leg steaks (at room temperature)
- 2 teaspoons GF lamb spice mix
Chimichurri
- 60g GF chimichurri
- 1½ tablespoons GF mayonnaise
- ½ tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Steps
-
Preheat oven to 220°C. Line two oven trays with baking paper. Bring a full kettle to the boil. Preheat BBQ hot plate or grill to high (if using). Prepare ingredients.
-
Toss kumara on one, and beetroot and carrot on the second prepared tray with olive oil, maple syrup/honey and first measure of lamb spice mix. Roast kumara for about 25 minutes, and beetroot and carrots for 25-30 minutes, until tender and caramelised. Swap trays and toss halfway to ensure even cooking.
-
When carrot and beetroot 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 pour boiling water over. Cover with a plate and leave to cook for 6 minutes then drain.
-
Pat lamb dry 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 about 3 minutes each side for medium (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking.
-
Set lamb aside, covered, to rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
-
While lamb rests, combine all chimichurri ingredients in a small bowl. Toss roasted kumara, carrot, beetroot, 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.
