Saltbush Lamb and green bean salad
600 g of Arcadia Saltbush Lamb steak (you could also use fillets or backstrap)
750 g orange sweet potato (or potato), peeled and cut into 1.5cm pieces
150 g green beans, trimmed
150 g mixed lettuce leaves
1/2 green capsicum, seeded and sliced
2 celery sticks, sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
60 g pinenuts, lightly toasted (optional)
Method
Steam the orange sweet potato until tender. Heat the oil in a medium frying pan and add the steamed sweet potato. Cook until golden, then set aside. Cook the green beans in a saucepan of boiling water until just tender and then plunge into cold water to cool and drain. Pan-fry or barbecue the lamb steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked to your liking. Place on a plate, cover loosely with foil and rest for 5 minutes. Toss together the lettuce, capsicum, celery and green beans and place on serving plates. Thinly slice the lamb steaks and place in a bowl with the sweet potato. Drizzle with the oil and vinegar and season with black pepper. Place on the salad and scatter with the pinenuts.
