| 4 tbsp | olive oil, plus extra for dressing the salad |
| 200g | feta cheese, cut into cubes |
| 1 | red onion, finely sliced |

Method
Trim any excess fat from the steaks with a sharp knife and season them well. Preheat the oven to 180°C/Fan 160°C/Gas mark 4.
Heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan and brown the lamb on all sides. Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and cook the lamb for about 4 minutes on each side. Remove from the oven and leave to rest in a warm place.

Carve the lamb steaks into two or three slices and mix with the salad. Finish with a few drops of balsamic vinegar and serve immediately.
