Add the beetroot and cabbage, Season with salt and pepper. Place a lid and simmer for 5 minutes 

In the meantime, heat a second pan or griddle pan, over medium heat. Drizzle 1 tbsp. olive oil and add the lamb cutlets. Season with salt and pepper and cook 3-4 minutes on one side, then turn to continue cooking a further 2-3 minutes until cooked to your liking.  Turn the heat off and add the rest of the butter.
