Step 4

Heat a fry pan on a medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Season lamb backstrap with one tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and a generous sprinkle of salt.

Step 5

Place lamb backstrap on the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on either side. Remove from the heat and let it rest for 10 minutes.
