Method
Marinate the Lamb
Combine the plain Greek yogurt, garlic-infused oil, lemon juice, olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chilli flakes, salt and cracked black pepper in a bowl.
Add the sliced lamb and toss well to coat. Cover and marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to overnight in the fridge).
Make the Tzatziki
Place the grated cucumber in a paper towel or cheesecloth and wring out as much moisture as you can.
Transfer to a bowl and add the remaining tzatziki ingredients: plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, dill, garlic-infused oil, salt and cracked black pepper.
Mix well, cover and keep chilled in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Make the Salad
Slice the mini cucumbers and place in a bowl.
Drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil, season with salt and cracked black pepper, and toss gently to combine.
Keep separate until serving.
Cook & Assemble
Heat a grill pan or BBQ over high heat.
Cook the marinated lamb for 2–3 minutes per side until nicely charred and cooked through.
Rest for 3 minutes.
Divide lamb between bowls.
Arrange cucumber salad and tzatziki alongside the lamb (keep components separate for self-assembly).
Serve immediately with crumbled feta on the side if desired.
