More on Cumin Lamb Rump Steaks with Spicy Cauli Rice…

Lamb is a good source of high-quality protein, which is essential for muscle maintenance and repair. It contains a mix of saturated and unsaturated fats. Lamb provides essential B vitamins such as B12, niacin, and riboflavin, which play crucial roles in energy metabolism. Furthermore, it is a source of iron and zinc, important minerals for immune function, energy production, and overall well-being.

Cauliflower rice is a keto-friendly substitute for traditional rice since it’s significantly lower in carbs and calories. It contains fibre that aids in digestion and helps you feel full. Cauliflower provides essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin C, vitamin K, and folate.
 
Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fats, particularly oleic acid, which can help improve heart health. They are low in net carbs, making them a great choice for keto. Avocados are also a good source of dietary fibre, and are high in potassium, which can help maintain healthy blood pressure levels.
 
Chillies contain capsaicin, which may boost metabolism and fat oxidation, potentially aiding in weight loss. They are rich in antioxidants, which can help protect cells from damage and reduce inflammation.
 

It is important to note that to maintain ketosis, it’s essential to track carbohydrate intake and ensure it aligns with your daily macro goals. Consulting with a healthcare professional is advised before making significant dietary changes.

Cumin Lamb Rump Steaks with Spiced Cauli Rice

I love this creation – it’s packed with flavour and personality! I season the lamb with cumin and add some into the buttered cauliflower rice too (which itself is bejewelled with plenty of elements!). Its colourful, flavourful and a delight to tuck into!

Equipment

• mini food processor / chopper
• large non-stick pan / wok
• sharp knife
• universal measuring spoons
• kitchen scale

Ingredients

• 4 lamb rump steaks, (approx. 150g each)
• 1.5 tsp ground cumin
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 50 g (1.8 oz) unsalted butter
• 500 g (17.6 oz) cauliflower florets, blitzed in a food processor into ‘rice’
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed with a garlic press
• 4 spring onions, sliced (white and green parts kept separate)
• 1 red chilli, finely chopped
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• 2 avocados, flesh diced
• 1 lime, cut into 4 wedges
• salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

• Remove the lamb steaks from their packaging and season all sides with one teaspoon cumin, salt and pepper.
• Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick pan over high heat and cook the lamb until done to your liking. I like mine pink in the centre, so I did approx. 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from the pan using tongs and set aside to rest for at least 5 minutes.
• Using the same pan (there is no need to wipe it clean) on medium high, add the butter. Once foaming, tip in the cauliflower, garlic, white parts of the spring onion, half the chopped chilli, cayenne pepper and remaining half teaspoon of cumin. Cook, stirring continuously until the cauliflower has sufficiently cooked through, approx. 3-5 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper.
• Remove the pan from the heat and fold in the diced avocado.
• Serve with rested lamb with the spiced cauli rice and garnish with the green ends of the spring onion and remaining chopped chilli. Squeeze the lime wedges over before tucking in. Season with additional salt flakes and pepper, if needed.

USEFUL TIPS:

• Lamb rump steaks sometimes fall apart into two pieces when frying: don’t be alarmed if this happens. There is a lot of fat holding it together, so this is inevitable.
• If any juices run from the lamb when it is resting, drizzle this over the rice for extra flavour!
• Try this with steak if you cannot source lamb rump steaks.
