Lamb steaks, marinated in ras el hanout spices and baked with chickpeas, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes and onions for a truly delicious meal, all made on a single sheet pan.
For busy families, few things are more welcome than delicious, nutritious meals that are easy and quick to cook.
This recipe ticks all those boxes, being prepared in just one pan (less washing up!), ready in just 30 minutes, and made with fabulous lamb leg steaks, which are not only delicious but also easy to prepare and perfect for midweek meals.
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.
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.

- 1 red bell pepper deseeded and sliced

Equipment
Instructions

Place the steaks in the pan. Sear for just 30-60 second on each side until brown. Lift out and set aside.

Weave the fresh rosemary amongst the vegetables.
Place the lamb steaks on top of the vegetables. Season the whole pan with salt and pepper.
