Lamb is of course hugely popular during Easter festivities, but you can buy a wide range of delicious, versatile cuts any time of year. British lamb, in particular, is most readily available in the last six months of the year.

Ingredients to make this lamb steak and veg sheet pan meal

And it’s not just tasty and convenient, lamb can be a good part of a balanced diet as it’s naturally rich in protein and zinc, low in sodium, and can provide seven vitamins and minerals that contribute towards good health and wellbeing.

What’s more, British Lamb is produced sustainably, supporting jobs in rural areas with two-thirds of the breeding flock and some of their lambs managed on the country’s mountains, moorlands and marshes.

So, let’s make a succulent lamb steak and veg sheet pan meal with a herby citrus dressing. I think you’re going to love how perfect it is for busy, time-pressed families.

  9. We love lamb in our house but don’t tend to buy a leg as its too expensive. This looks like a delicious and affordable way to treat ourselves

  12. As someone who is currently following weight watchers this recipe fits in really nicely with that plan so it’s something that looks and tastes good but is also friendly for those like me who are following that plan.
