Put in the lamb rumps, fat side down and brown well. Turn the rumps and continue to cook, spooning over the olive oil to baste well. Add the butter and continue to turn and cook until the rumps are well browned all over (about 3 minutes). Transfer to a preheated oven (190?C 375F or Gas mark 5) for about 8-10 minutes.
