Spicy Lamb Steaks Ingredient     ·       4-6 lamb rump steaks (around 700g) ·       1 heaped teaspoon oregano ·       1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary ·       1 heaped teaspoon paprika ·       1 teaspoon cumin ·       Salt and pepper to season (after cooking) Method: 1.     Mix together the oregano, rosemary, paprika and cumin, and sprinkle over the lamb steaks. Use the back of a teaspoon to spread the rub into the steaks and leave in the fridge for at least an hour. 2.   Add a drizzle of olive oil to a griddle pan on a medium-high heat and leave for a minute or so to heat up fully. Add the steaks to the pan and cook for around 4-5 minutes on each side so that the steaks are charred like they would be on a BBQ, whilst still pinkish in the middle. Rest for 5 mins (I wrapped mine in foil to reserve the juices), then serve.
