Cooking Steps
• Bring a medium saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil. • Peel potato and cut into bite-sized chunks. Cook in the boiling water until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. • Drain and return to saucepan. Add the milk and butter, then season with salt. • Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm.
TIP: Save time and get more fibre by leaving the potato unpeeled!
• Meanwhile, trim green beans. • Finely chop garlic. • Crush black peppercorns using a pestle and mortar, or in their sachet using a rolling pin. • Pat lamb backstrap dry with paper towel, then drizzle with olive oil and season with salt on each side.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook lamb for 7-8 minutes on each side for medium or until cooked to your liking. • Transfer to a plate to rest for 5 minutes.
• While lamb is resting, return pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook green beans, tossing regularly, until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Add baby spinach leaves and half the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant and spinach is just wilted, 1 minute. Season, then transfer to serving plates.
TIP: Cook the green beans with a dash of water to help speed up the cooking process!
• Boil the kettle. • Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook crushed peppercorns and remaining garlic, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Remove pan from heat. • Transfer peppercorn-garlic mixture to a medium heatproof bowl, then add gravy granules and the boiling water (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people), whisking, until smooth, 1 minute. Stir in any lamb resting juices.
• Slice the seared lamb. • Divide lamb and mash between the plates with the garlic greens. Pour peppercorn gravy over lamb. Sprinkle with flaked almonds. • Serve with mint sauce. Enjoy!
Customer reviews
Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: The lamb was widely praised for being tender and full of flavour, with the peppercorn gravy a particular highlight for many.
- Ease of prep: Most found this a straightforward, no-fuss meal that came together easily on the cooktop.
- Suggestions: Crushing the peppercorns thoroughly makes a real difference to the gravy; some found the heat too intense when peppercorns were left too coarse. A few customers roasted the potatoes with herbs instead of making mash, which worked well alongside the lamb.
- Portions: Several customers felt the potato quantity was too small for a satisfying mash, and many would have liked a larger lamb portion or an extra vegetable on the plate.
