Preparation

Step 1

Reserve the tips of the rosmary and chop the remaining leaves. Rub the chopped rosemary, salt and pepper all over the lamb.

Preheat the grill. Heat the redcurrant jelly gently in a small pan with 2 tablespoons of water. Stir in the vinegar.

Place the steaks on a foil lined grill rack and brush with a little of the redcurrant glaze. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side, until deep golden, brushing with more glaze.

Transfer the lamb to warmed plates. Tip any juices from the foil into the remaining glaze and heat through. Pour the glaze over the lamb and serve, garnished with the reserved rosemary.
