Warm a large frying pan on a high heat till it’s smoking hot. Add the lamb steaks (no need for oil) and fry for 4-5 mins till golden brown, then turn and fry for 2-3 mins on the other side. For well done lamb, cook for an extra 1-2 mins. Pop the lamb steaks onto a warm plate, loosely cover with foil and set to one side to rest for 10 mins.
