With a heavy, flat-sided mallet or a clean hammer, firmly pound all over until the meat is 1\/4 to 1\/3 inch thick. (Don&#8217;t pound hard enough to tear the meat.)<br \/>\nMelt the butter and oil in a 10-12 inch nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat.\u00a0When butter sizzles, add lamb (if all the meat won&#8217;t fit, cook in batches). Cook, turning once, until both sides are well browned and center is no longer pink (cut to test), 4 to 5 minutes total. Remove meat, transfer to a platter, and keep warm.<br \/>\nSmoothly blend broth, wine, balsamic vinegar, honey, and cornstarch. Add mixture to pan and boil until slightly thickened; pour over meat. Drizzle sesame oil and sprinkle mint leaves on top. Serve with a selection of seasonal vegetables.<\/p>\n<p>We hope you enjoyed reading this post by Pat Whelan of James Whelan Butchers.
