Minty Lamb Steaks

Lamb steaks are a really useful cut of meat, readily available and easy to prepare. They work well as a tray bake, and if you want to cut down your meat intake you could always just do two lamb steaks between four, and up the veg a little. We do think it’s worth removing the skins from the broad beans to reveal their beautiful bright green colour, but if you run out of time, don’t worry. Tantalisingly tasty, this one.
