Instructions

  1. 1Cut the about 450 g of Lamb Loin into 2.54 cm cubes.
  2. 2Finely chop the 1 tbsp Horopito Leaves and the 1 tbsp Kawakawa Leaves.
  3. 3In a medium bowl, combine the lamb cubes, chopped horopito, chopped kawakawa, 2 tbsp Olive Oil, 1/2 tsp Salt, and 1/4 tsp Pepper.
  4. 4Mix everything together thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until the lamb is evenly coated.
  5. 5Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until it is hot. This is approximately 204.4°C (200°C).
  6. 6Carefully add the coated lamb to the hot skillet in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until the lamb is browned on all sides and reaches an internal temperature of 63°C for medium-rare, or longer to your preference.
