Browsing in Sainsburys and these caught my eye, so I bought them on a whim.

https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/gol-ui/product/sainsb...

Trouble is I haven't a clue what to or how to serve them with as a dish.

I was thinking spicing them and serving with salad maybe some pomegranat seeds in pitta bread or wrap type thing.

Any suggestions?

I'd go Greek with them, pita, Tzatziki, gyro, that kind of thing.

Pretty much as you say but add a minted youghurt.

I would fry them very high heat and fast. Like a minute steak.

Flash fry and serve with a pea, spinach and feta salad with lemon dressing, and a gently spiced pilaf with cardamom, cinnamon and a clove (if you like the flavour of cloves, not everyone does).

Cut onion in half then slice to 2 mm half moons. Fry up with a bit of crushed garlic. Quick fry the lamb steaks, then nearly at end of cooking add several spoonfuls of a good mango chutney (Gheetas is nice). Splash of water to thin slightly. Serve with flat breads, salad leaves, pomegranate seeds, feta and a dollop of greek yoghurt.

Sample recipe, there is no one recipe but they are all heavy on cumin, garlic, chilli, Sichuan peppercorns, etc; sometimes red onion

I'm not sure why they are selling these.

It's ultra thin, like a slice of wafer thin ham.

As soon as it touches the frying pan, the fat splits and they separate and shrivel into little tiny balls.

I've seen meat sliced like this in Korean cuisine, like Korean hot pot where they submerge it into a warm broth.

I confess I didn't check the link, I just assumed we were taking about the usual thin cut leg steaks. My bad.

Those really are wafer thin. You'd have to cook them in broth or liquid as you say. Maybe a kind of lamb pho? Or chuck them in a stir fry with some noodles and veg.

That looks like belly! Really ought to be cooked low and slow I suspect.

It is belly. Rolled and sliced so it will turn grey instantly and be thin enough not to be chewy whatever you do with it. Still be greasy and fatty though.

Not selling the idea well am I.

Boiled rather than fried in a ramen style soup or a Thai style curry using coconut milk?

Now I'm confused, I'm planning on doing them tonight.

I think I'll test fry a couple, if that's a disaster I like the idea of a Thai style broth.

Pretend you are on Masterchef and just wave them over a candle for ten seconds and throw them on a plate.

One thing that really picensoredes me off about supermarkets is this sort of creative butchery and misleading labelling which is targetted at the unwary.

I'm glad you've put it up there as a test for the imagination. I think what I'd do is use it as a wrap. like bacon/pancetta/ for a lamb friendly herby stuffing maybe even with some lamb mince in the stuffing. Tie it so it wont fall apart and then fry hard to give some colour and stew for up to an hour in a gravy made with lamb stock white wine onions and garlic.

Chop up into 1 inch squares and fry with bacon, add beef mince and then all the stuff to make a chili con carne.

I do this with bacon or chorizo.
