6-8 lamb rump (chump) steaks or loin chops
Salt and freshly milled black pepper
For the Herb Butter:
100g/4oz unsalted butter, softened
10-15ml/2-3tsp fresh thyme leaves
Method:
1.To prepare the herb butter; mix the butter and thyme together. Mould into a sausage shape, wrap in cling film or foil and chill until required.
2.Place each steak or chop on a large square foil sheet. Season on both sides and top with a disc of the herb butter.
3.Loosely shape the foil into parcels, place on a baking sheet or roasting tin and bake in a preheated oven at Gas mark 4-5, 180-190°C, 350-375°F for 20 minutes, or on a prepared barbecue for 25-30 minutes with the lid down.
4.If baking, 5-10 minutes before the end of the cooking time, remove from the oven or barbecue. Gently open the parcels and return to cook for the remainder of the cooking time.
