Method
- In a large bowl, whisk together the gochujang paste, sake, soy, mirin, chilli and sesame oil. Add the lamb, turn to coat in the marinade and cover and chill for 12 hours to marinate, turning the lamb over halfway.
- Just before serving, cut the beans diagonally into 5cm lengths. Cook in a saucepan of boiling water for 1 minute. Drain and refresh in cold water. Set aside.
- Preheat the grill to high. Lift the lamb from the marinade and spread out in 1 layer on a large, foil-lined baking tray. Grill, brushing with the marinade, for 3-4 minutes each side, until golden but still a bit pink in the middle. Set aside for 5 minutes.
- Divide the lamb cutlets between plates and sprinkle with the black sesame seeds. Make the sesame dressing. Mix together the tahini
- and lemon juice and serve alongside, with the cooked beans.
