Method

To sear steak
1

Heat a frying pan with a splash of oil over a high heat.

2

Cook on one side of the lamb until moisture appears, then turn and cook the other side.

Test the ‘degree of doneness’ by touching the meat - it will feel springy for medium and very firm for well done.

4

Remove from heat and allow to rest, loosely covered with aluminium foil.

To make salad
1

For the salad, cook lentils in boiling water for 3-4 minutes to retain texture and colour.

2

Drain and place in cold water.

Dice all vegetables and place in a bowl.

4

Add lentils and chopped parsley and mint.

5

Season with cumin, pepper, lemon zest and juice.
