Technique to learn

High Heat Sear and Roast Finish

Searing coated meat over direct high heat to establish flavor before baking gently to target doneness.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 200C (400F). Toss sweet potato wedges with 1 tablespoon olive oil, half the salt, and black pepper on a baking sheet.
Step 2: Roast sweet potatoes for 20 minutes until tender and light golden at the edges.
Step 3: Combine lemon myrtle, honey, minced garlic, remaining olive oil, and sea salt in a small bowl to create a marinade paste.

Step 4: Rub the lamb rump steaks evenly with the lemon myrtle glaze on all sides.

Step 5: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear lamb steaks for 3 minutes per side until deeply browned.

Step 6: Transfer lamb into oven alongside sweet potatoes for 5 to 7 minutes until internal temperature reaches 60C (140F) for medium donor. Rest meat 5 minutes before slicing.

Cooking tips

Let lamb rest covered in foil for at least 5 minutes before slicing to keep juices trapped.
Lemon myrtle can burn easily over open flame, so keep heat under moderate control while searing.
