Lamb Rump

Full product description

Lamb rump is the sleeper hit of roast-night cuts—tender, flavour-packed and quick to cook. It loves a hot sear to render the cap of fat, then a brief finish in the oven or on the BBQ for a blushing centre. Slice across the grain and you get neat, juicy slices with proper lamb character. Keep it classic with rosemary and garlic, or brighten it with lemon and a herby dressing.
