This was really good but next time will put the feta on the lamb and roast the tomatoes. As i did struggle to place all the mixture on the lamb but the flavours are lovely.

The melty feta with the lamb and bursting tomatoes was delicious. I did bake my steaks on a foil tray instead of grilling though and I found it impossible to pile the feta and the tomatoes on top. But putting the feta on for the last few minutes and just cooking the tomatoes alongside in the tray didn't make any difference to how much we liked it. Ate every last bite and will make it again and again.

This was absolutely delicious, the meat was so tender and juicy! We used oak-aged Feta and normal cherry tomatoes which worked really well. We also added toasted pine nuts which made the dish extra tasty, and would consider adding some peppers on the side next time to add a bit more colour. The toppings became more of a side accompaniment on my partner's plate as his steak was a bit of an abnormal shape (not that this was a problem!), so we'd advise buying the roundest steaks with the most surface area possible if you're keen on presentation! :) We'll definitely be making this dish again!

Gorgeous, simple dish. will definately do again. Lamb was perfectly pink and tender. Salty feta works well with lamb and the tomatoes break down and become very juicy. Probably would also jazz up the cous cous slightly when doing it again.

Really very nice, the flavours work brilliantly. I would agree that if you don't like the middle of your lamb pink to give it slightly more time under the grill. Also, I used rump steaks and whilst delicious I found I didn't have much room to put the tomatoes and feta on top, it was a delicate balancing act! Pick steaks with a wide surface area ;).

I think the key to this recipe is the cut of meat and the cheese. I used a local cut from the butcher and an aged Feta, both more expensive but the flavours were bang on.

When you say grill, do you mean grill mode in the oven or a grill pan on the stove? If oven, what's the temperature? I am not sure if I got the baking sheet bit - so no oil? Would love to try this recipe but wonder how I can make it.

really yummy dish, made as per recipe. will jazz the cous cous up a bit with a few extra herbs and chopped roasted pepper next time. lamb cooking times are good for pink.

A mouth watering dish... I grilled lamb on an electric grill pan in my garden, it came really delicious, with a barbecue flavour. i used dried rosamary and feta in brine. Basically i used what i had in my larder. served it with Aubergines as suggested, but did oven chips and not couscous..got alot of compliments from my husband... a really good dish. will definately do it again

A thoroughly delicious recipe. I added red pepper from a jar to the cous cous which gave it a nice texture.
