Just a dumb question from a pom.Very often the word " backstrap" is mentioned in a recipe referring to a cut of meat, could you tell me what it is 

[judydawn]

a lamb backstrap CC - lovely cut and it's the equivalent of a beef fillet, pork fillet or chicken tenderloin.

CC, i have asked my butcher for backstraps  but he said that to get them would use a lot of good lamb & they were not worth it.

Hope this helps, I think it would mean I woudnt get rack & another cut just for a backstrap.

Thanks Judy and Hally I think it's called "lamb loin fillet" here but OMG it's fiercely expensive at £27.56 per kg.

It is the meat that you find in loin chops, just in a big piece. I got some cheaply a while ago and used this marinade, yum. I had never had it before.

Yummy, I might make up a small jar full and keep it in the  refrigerator  . I might make two batch's one with fresh lemon juice and one with the Meyer Lemon powder when it is ready.

I halved this cos I only had 4 little frenched lamb chops and half a lemon. Was probably a bit too much mix for that. But cookie this is a really tasty spice mix and we thoroughly enjoyed our meat. I can't be certain but the lemon may have tenderized the lamb in the hour that it marinated cos it was baby soft. thanks cookie one for my favorites
