Method

  1. Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Heat half the oil in a roasting tray, then brown the steaks on both sides and set aside. Toss the potato, onion, remaining oil and half the rosemary into the roasting tray, then lay the steaks on top. Brush the steaks with the mustard, scatter with remaining rosemary and roast everything for 20 mins until the potatoes are softened and the lamb cooked.

Using pork chops

This recipe would also work with pork chops but they need to be cooked all the way through, so roast them for 10 mins longer than the lamb.

    Unfortunately I wasted four organic lamb steaks on this recipe. I normally cook my lamb steaks for a couple of hours in a very slow oven - when I saw that they had to be cooked for just 30 mins. I was very dubious - I was right - they were as tough as old boots. However, had I done them as I usually do, I think the meal would have been superb.

    I was disappointed with this, but maybe I should have cooked the potatoes a bit before adding the lamb, as by the time the potatoes had softened the meat was dry. I will try it again sometime as so many people have made such positive comments it must be worth another go.

    Not great - seemed to be lacking in flavour - maybe that's supermarket lamb for you! Wouldn't make again'

    This was very easy and tasted better than it looked. I substituted the sweet potato for ordinary potatos and leeks, which i cooked in the oven for about 20 mins before adding the lamb. Will try again with sweet potatos to compare. really liked the mustard on the lamb.

    Aso mixed in carrot and threw in a few unpeeled garlic cloves. I roasted the veg for 15 mins first and used lamb chops instead of steaks. Will make again.

    Not great! Sweet pototoes always go soggy when roasted and this was no exception. The wholegrain mustard was not a good combination with the lamb either - what a bizarre idea! Thumbs down on this, I'm afraid.

    i used this to make sweet potato and butternut squash as an accompaniment to roast chicken, and it was very well received. The veg alone took about 30 mins in a fan oven

    I cooked this for 10 of us, the leg steaks were quite big, so cooked them first for about half an hour at 200 degres and then at 150 degres for about 45mins covered in foil, they were very tender. Every one enjoyed the dish Wendy

    Cooked this for my husband and I and halved the ingredients. I added normal potatoes, carrots and butternut squash. My lamb steaks were quite chunky and needed an extra 10 mins. It was lovely and tasty, though a bit filling. It seemed quite bad for you as I felt it was the fat from the lamb, combined with the mustard, which made the dish tasty.

    all i would say is make sure you slice the potato really REALLY thinly. Thin just won't do !! The lamb was over-cooked and the tats were al dente :-( Won't be making this again, sorry.

    I can never quite work out whether I like sweet potatoes or not... however this was a very tasty meal. Although sliced quite thinly, the veg took a LOT longer to cook and next time I too will roast them for a while before adding the meat as I had to take the lamb out and keep it warm while I turned up the heat to finish off the potatoes. (That may be a foible of my gas oven as I usually find I have to increase the cooking time for recipes...) I added a courgette and that worked well. Will definitely make it again.

    We had this instead of our usual sunday roast. Was just as good. Used ordinary spuds instead of sweet potatoes. Very easy to do and takes no time at all to prepare

    My teenagers loved this though will double up on the meat next time. I roasted new potatoes and pumpkin ten minutes before adding the lamb - perfect!

    Would definitely recommend cooking the sweet potato and onion first, around 15 minutes seems to work for me (sliced thinly). Much, much better with meat from a butcher.
