- 2 x 250g lamb backstraps
- Olive oil spray
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 450g canned baby beetroot, rinsed, drained, quartered

Method
- Step 1 Spray the lamb backstraps with olive oil spray, season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, then rub with the dried oregano.
- Step 2 Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a frypan over high heat. Cook the lamb backstraps for 4 minutes each side for medium, or until cooked to your liking. Remove the lamb from the pan, cover loosely with foil and set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
- Step 3 Meanwhile, return the pan to low heat and add the remaining olive oil. Add the sliced red onion, quartered beetroot and drained lentils to the pan. Toss gently for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Add the vinegar, then season to taste with a little sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Step 4 Thinly slice the lamb backstraps, then place in a large bowl with the baby spinach leaves. Add the warm beetroot and lentil mixture and gently toss to combine.
- Step 5 Divide the salad among 4 serving plates and serve immediately.
