Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 190ºC/fan170ºC/gas 5. Heat olive oil in a large, wide pan over a medium heat. Dust lamb leg steaks in plain seasoned flour and fry, in batches, until browned. Set aside.
  2. Add onion to the pan with carrots, and cook for 5 minutes. Return the lamb to the pan with 300ml hot chicken stock, Worcestershire sauce and a few sprigs of fresh thyme. Season and remove from the heat.
  3. Thinly slice potatoes and place half in an overlapping layer in a shallow ovenproof pan. Top with the meat mixture, then layer over the remaining potato and dot with butter. Cover and cook in the oven for 30 minutes, then remove the lid and cook for a further 20 minutes, until the potatoes are golden brown.
