Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Lightly score the fat of lamb rump in a 1cm criss-cross pattern. Season lamb all over with salt and pepper, then place, fat-side down, in a large frying pan. • Place the pan over medium heat and cook, undisturbed, until golden, 10-12 minutes. Increase heat to high and sear lamb on all sides for 30 seconds.
TIP: Starting the lamb in a cold pan helps the fat melt without burning.
• While the lamb is cooking, cut beetroot and carrot into fries. • Place veggie fries on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with Aussie spice blend and season. Toss to coat, spread out evenly, then bake until tender, 25-30 minutes. • Meanwhile, crush black peppercorns (see ingredients) with a mortar and pestle or in their sachet using a rolling pin. In a small bowl, combine crushed peppercorns and a drizzle of olive oil.
Roast the lamb • Place lamb on a second lined oven tray and use the back of a spoon to spread peppercorn mixture over the lamb. • Roast for 15-20 minutes for medium or until cooked to your liking. • Remove lamb from oven and cover with foil to rest for 10 minutes. • Slice cucumber into half-moons. In a medium bowl, add mixed salad leaves and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Season and toss to coat.
TIP: The meat will keep cooking as it rests!
• Slice peppercorn lamb rump. • Divide veggie fries, cucumber salad and lamb between plates. • Pour any resting juices over lamb. Serve with mayonnaise. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The lamb is consistently praised for being tender and well-flavoured; the peppercorn crust adds a punchy finish that most reviewers enjoyed.
- Ease of prep: The recipe is generally easy to follow, though a widely reported missing oven time for the lamb caused confusion — reviewers who knew to roast it for around 15-20 minutes had great results.
- Suggestions: Consider cooking the lamb for a minute or two less than suggested for a blush-pink finish; some reviewers also found crushing peppercorns by hand difficult and used a pepper grinder instead.
- Portions: A number of reviewers cooking for four felt the lamb portion was on the small side; those cooking for two were generally happy with the quantity.
- Salad: Several reviewers found the side salad plain and suggested adding feta, cherry tomatoes, or nuts to round it out.
