Equipment
Method
- Prepare the Lamb: Season the lamb steaks with salt and pepper. Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the Lamb: Add the lamb to the hot pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Once cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Sauté the Zucchini: In the same pan, add a splash of olive oil. Sauté the sliced zucchini for 3-4 minutes until just tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, toss the arugula, corn, and sautéed zucchini together.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss to coat evenly.
- Assemble and Serve: Arrange the salad on a serving platter, top with sliced lamb, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and garnish with sesame seeds. Add feta and radishes if desired.
