Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut potato into thin fries. • Place fries on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the fries between two trays.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice zucchini into sticks. • Trim green beans. • Finely chop garlic and parsley. • To a small bowl, add the butter and allow to come to room temperature.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • Cook zucchini and green beans, tossing, until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Add half the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and cover to keep warm.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Season lamb backstrap on both sides. • Cook lamb for 7-8 minutes each side for medium, or until cooked to your liking. • In the last minute of cook time, add half the paprika spice blend to lamb, turning to coat. Transfer to a plate to rest for 5 minutes.
• While lamb is resting, to bowl with butter, add parsley, Dijon mustard (see ingredients), the remaining garlic and remaining paprika spice blend. Mash to combine.
• Slice lamb. • Divide lamb backstrap, frites and sautéed greens between plates. • Top lamb with Café de Paris butter to serve. Enjoy!
