Greek Lamb Salad with Roasted Potatoes

MARINATE LAMB: In a medium bowl, stir together the garlic, rosemary, oregano, olive oil, red wine, salt, and pepper. Add the lamb to the bowl and toss to coat well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (overnight is fine too).
700 g lamb backstrap or lean steaks, 3 cloves garlic, 1 ½ tbsp fresh rosemary, 80 ml red wine, 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp sea salt, 1 tsp black pepper
ROAST POTATOES: Heat the oven to 220°C / 425° F. Toss the potatoes with olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Roast for 30–35 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
900 g new potatoes, 4 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp dried oregano, Salt & black pepper
SEAR LAMB: Heat a heavy-based pan, skillet or grill on high. Sear lamb 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Rest for 5 minutes, loosely covered with foil to keep it warm, then slice thickly.
MAKE DRESSING: Whisk olive oil, vinegar, mustard, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
1 tbsp dried oregano, 4 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, Juice of 1 lemon, 2 garlic cloves, Salt & black pepper
ASSEMBLE: Toss greens, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, feta, and mint with the dressing.
150 g lamb’s lettuce, 125 g cherry tomatoes, halved, 200 g feta cheese, crumbled, 75 g Kalamata olives,, 1 large cucumber, 1 red onion, Small bunch of mint
SERVE: Top salad with sliced lamb, then serve with a big bowl of tzatziki and roasted potatoes.

Prefer medium lamb? Cook for 4–5 minutes per side. Don’t forget to let it rest so that it stays nice and juicy.

Dressing too tart? Add 1 tsp honey to balance the flavours.
