Hoisin Lamb fillet with snake beans and chilli

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Serves: 4

8 Lamb fillets/tenderloins
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp hoisin
1 bunch snake beans, cut into 3cm lengths, cooked
100g roasted peanuts
¼ cup mint leaves
¼ cup coriander leaves
extra 2 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp peanut oil
rind and juice from a large lime
1 red chilli, finely chopped

Brush the Lamb fillets with combined sesame oil and hoisin. Preheat a non-stick pan to moderately hot. Keep the heat at moderately high.

Cook one side of Lamb fillet until the first sign of moisture appears on the uncooked side, turn and cook other side. You may need to turn the Lamb three times so all sides are browned.

Test for doneness with tongs. Rare is soft when pressed, medium is springy and welldone is very firm. Rest the Lamb for a few minutes before serving.

To serve, slice the Lamb diagonally and toss with the snake beans, peanuts, mint and coriander leaves, and the combined extra sesame oil, oil, lime rind, juice and chilli.
