The basic, and very simple ingredients

Mint and lamb go really well together, as does orange and lamb, so I thought I would try them both together in the same recipe.

• 3 tablespoons of the olive oil
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 x 300g lamb fillet, cut in half lengthwise
• 1 medium sized red onion, peeled and chopped

Method

1. Add a good pinch of black pepper to a wok or large frying pan, add 3 tablespoons of olive oil
2. Add the chopped red onion and the lamb steaks and brown the lamb fillets, turning often.
3. Once the steaks are browned the onions should have also taken some of the colour

5. Add the chopped orange segments and orange zest, together with a splash of lemon juice
6. Stir well and simmer gently for about 5 minutes
7. Stir in the chopped mint and simmer for a further 5 minutes
