Lamb steak sandwich

his is even nicer than the more traditional steak sandwich, as lamb teams with sweetly caramelised onions for a hearty weekend lunch.

Details

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 3 white onions
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • sea salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 4 lamb fillets or boneless leg steaks, around 180g each
    (In Australia, lamb steaks)
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp white wine
  • 1 garlic clove, smashed
  • 1 tbsp oregano leaves
  • 4 vine-ripened tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 200g good mayonnaise
  • 8 thick slices sourdough or light rye
  • 200 g baby rocket leaves

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 180C/Gas 4.

  2. Finely slice the onions, toss with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper, and bake for 30 to 40 minutes until caramelized.

  3. Flatten each lamb steak with a meat mallet, then cut each in two. Mix the olive oil, white wine, garlic and oregano and coat the lamb well.

  4. Slice the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Beat the mustard into the mayonnaise.

  5. Sear the lamb steaks in a very hot, lightly oiled nonstick pan until crusty, turning once. This will only take a minute or two either side. Season well, and set aside while you toast or grill the bread.

  6. Spread the bottom slice with the mustard mayonnaise, and arrange rocket leaves, tomatoes, lamb steaks and caramelised onions on top.
