Pesto Crusted Lamb Steak and Roast Potatoes

Meanwhile, halve the baby plum tomatoes.

In a large bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar and half the pesto and toss through your tomatoes. Set your dressing aside.

Trim the bottom 2cm from the asparagus and discard. 

When the potatoes are ready, drain in a colander and sprinkle over the flour (see pantry for amount).

Shake to fluff up the potatoes, then carefully add them to the hot baking tray, turning in the oil.

Season with salt, then roast on the middle shelf until golden, 35-40 mins. Turn halfway through.

While the potatoes roast, put the breadcrumbs onto a plate and drizzle with the olive oil for the crumb (see pantry for amount). Season with salt and pepper and stir together well.

Season the lamb steaks, then evenly spread the remaining pesto all over each.

Press the steaks into the crumbs, making sure they're well coated on each side. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat.

When the potatoes have 15 mins left, pop the asparagus onto a baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. Roast on the middle shelf until tender, 10-12 mins.

Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. TIP: Lamb steaks naturally vary in shape, so adjust the following timings depending on how you like yours cooked.

Once hot, carefully lay in the crumbed lamb steaks. Fry until golden, 2 mins each side, then transfer to another baking tray.

Roast on the top shelf of your oven for 5 mins for medium-rare. TIP: Cook for a few more mins if you prefer yours more well done. IMPORTANT: The lamb is safe to eat when browned on the outside.
