Sprinkle the prunes over the steaks, roll up tightly and wrap each in a rasher of bacon. Secure with a cocktail stick.

Meanwhile bring the stock to the boil, add the cornflour and continue to boil until thickened. Add any meat juices and sediment from the baking tray.

Slice each lamb parcel into 4 and serve accompanied with the couscous and sauce.
