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!
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 ;).
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
