When you think of summer cocktails, Strawberry Daiquiris or Mint Mojitos may be first to spring to mind, but not all cocktails are for sipping on the beach...

With fresh orange and pomegranate seeds, plus a dash of tequila and grenadine, MeatMatters.com have created one with a twist - that it makes a great summer salad!

Serves 2

Ingredients
2 lean lamb leg steaks, cut into thin strips
1 orange, juice and rind
150ml/quarter pint Tequila
2 x 15ml/2tbsp Grenadine syrup
1 orange, peeled and segmented
Handful salad leaves
1 pomegranate, seeds removed

Method
Place lamb steak into a shallow dish, then add orange juice and rind, and tequila. Cover and marinade in fridge for two to three hours.

Pre-heat a griddle or frying pan, drain the lamb and reserve the marinade. Cook in hot pan for four to five minutes until the strips are browned.

Remove the steak from the pan and add the marinade, bring to the boil and add grenadine syrup. Reduce slightly.

Layer the orange segments, salad leaves and lamb strips into two bowls. Drizzle over the hot tequila sauce and garnish with pomegranate seeds – drizzle with extra grenadine if you wish.
