Pan-Seared Lamb Steaks

  6. Reduce the heat to medium, flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on each side. 
  7. Remove the steaks from the pan and leave them to rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

Watermelon Salad

  1. Put the olive oil, lime, salt & pepper into a large bowl and whisk to combine.
  2. Cut the watermelon into 2cm cubes and add to the bowl
  3. Cut the cucumber length-ways and use a spoon to remove the watery seeds then slice thickly. Add to the watermelon.
  4. Stack all the mint leaves on top of one another, roll them into a cigar and use your sharpest knife to cut them into thin strands. Add them too.
  5. Toss the bowl to coat everything in the dressing.
  6. Finally, use your fingers to crumble the feta on top.
