Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Lamb fillets
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons White sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Chili flakes
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the chopped parsley, sesame seeds, chili flakes, minced garlic, lemon zest, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the crust mixture.
Rub the lamb fillets with olive oil, ensuring they are lightly coated to help the crust stick.
Press the crust mixture evenly onto all sides of the lamb fillets, firmly patting it down to adhere.
Add the vegetable oil to the preheated skillet and allow it to heat until shimmering.
Carefully place the lamb fillets into the skillet and sear each side for 2-3 minutes to create a golden crust.
Lower the heat slightly and add the butter to the skillet, spooning the melted butter over the fillets as they cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Adjust the cooking time based on your preferred doneness (e.g., medium-rare or medium).
Remove the lamb fillets from the pan and let them rest on a plate for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Slice the lamb fillets diagonally and serve immediately, paired with your favorite side dishes such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
Garnish with additional parsley or a squeeze of lemon, if desired.
