Lamb Fillet with Orange, Redcurrant and Mint Sauce image

This was in Melbournes Herald Sun Newspaper yesterday. It looks fast and tasty, and I love lamb! They suggested 3 minutes would be enough cooking time for the fillets, but I think a little more would suit me!

Time 10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 lamb fillets (large enough for 1 per person)
1 teaspoon finely grated orange rind
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/3 cup red currant jelly
2 tablespoons port wine or 2 tablespoons chicken stock
2 teaspoons French mustard
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Mix everything (except the lamb) together in a small saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring to melt the redcurrant jelly.
  • Cook for a couple of minutes (this can be done in advance).
  • Season the lamb and oil the outside lightly.
  • Put in a hot pan and brown on all sides.
  • Cook until done to your liking-I would cook a small thin fillet for about 5 minutes.
  • Remove to a warm plate and cover loosely with foil or another plate.
  • Tip the sauce into the lamb cooking pan, and boil quickly.
  • Serve the lamb sliced diagonally with plenty of sauce poured over.
