Notes from Rouba

Always cook lamb backstrap at room temperature.
Marinating the lamb backstrap for 4-5 hours is ideal.

Method

Step 1.

To marinate the lamb, combine the garlic, olive oil, cumin and coriander ground and bring to a paste. Add the lamb backstrap and mix well to coat, massaging all over. Season with salt and pepper and add the fresh herbs. Combine well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours.

Step 2.

Heat the frying pan over medium to high heat. Fry the lamb backstrap on one side for approximately 5 minutes. Flip over, cover the frying pan with a lid and continue to fry for approximately another 5 minutes or until cooked to your liking.

Step 3.

Transfer onto a wired rack, then drizzle with lemon juice. Let it rest for a few minutes before cutting into it.

Step 4.

Slice the lamb diagonally and serve.
