Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, ground coriander, ground cumin, and sea salt flakes to create the spice rub.
  2. Pat the lamb rump steaks dry with paper towels and generously coat both sides with the spice rub, pressing gently so it adheres.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek-style yoghurt, finely chopped mint, grated lemon zest, and crushed garlic until smooth.
  4. Heat a char-grill pan or outdoor grill over high heat until smoking hot. Lightly spray the lamb steaks with cooking oil.
  5. Place the lamb steaks on the hot grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
  6. Transfer the cooked lamb to a plate, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  7. Slice the rested lamb against the grain into thin strips.
  8. Arrange a Greek salad (lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, red onion) on serving plates.
  9. Top the salad with the sliced lamb and drizzle generously with the mint yogurt dressing.
