Place the lamb steaks in a large shallow dish. Add the chives, lemon juice, half the olive oil and seasoning. Coat the steaks in the mixture. Cover and leave to marinate for 10 minutes.
To prepare the white bean purée, place all the ingredients in a food processor or blender and whizz together until smooth. Season to taste.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over moderate heat and cook the steaks for 4-6 minutes on each side.
To serve, place a large spoonful of the purée onto each serving plate and top with the lamb. Drizzle over the pan juices, garnish with the parsley and paprika.
Serve with garlic or toasted ciabatta bread slices and a tossed salad.
