Method

  1. Put the potatoes in a pan of cold salted water and bring to the boil. Loosely cover with the lid and boil for 10-15 minutes until tender.
  2. Heat the oil in a wide frying pan or shallow casserole over a high heat. Fry the lamb steaks for 2 minutes on each side or until nicely browned. Reduce the heat slightly and cook for 1 minute more on each side for pink, or until cooked to your liking. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. Turn the heat down to medium, add the green vegetables and cook for 1 minute, then add the anchovies and most of the lime juice, 1 tbsp water and a good pinch of coarsely ground black pepper. Mix well, scraping the bottom of the pan to catch any browned bits left by the lamb, and fry for 1 minute more.
