Ingredients

• 600 g Lamb fillet
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 100 ml Fresh orange juice
• 1 tsp Orange zest
• 3 tbsp Redcurrant jelly
• 2 tbsp Fresh mint leaves, chopped
• 1 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
• 1 Garlic clove, minced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

Season the lamb fillets with salt and black pepper on all sides.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lamb fillets and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.

Step 4

Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and baste the lamb with the melted butter for additional flavor.

Step 5

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for 8-10 minutes for medium-rare or until your desired level of doneness is reached. Remove the lamb from the oven and rest for 5-7 minutes under foil to retain its juices.

Step 6

While the lamb is resting, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice, orange zest, redcurrant jelly, balsamic vinegar, and minced garlic.

Step 7

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the jelly has melted and the sauce has thickened slightly (about 5-7 minutes).

Step 8

Stir in the chopped mint leaves and remove the sauce from the heat.

Step 9

Slice the lamb fillet into medallions and arrange them on plates. Spoon the orange redcurrant and mint sauce over the top.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or creamy mashed potatoes.
