Name: Valentine's surf and turf
Total time: 1800 s
Yield: 2
Ingredients: 2 salt dry-aged sirloin steak; 1 sprig rosemary; 2 sprig thyme; 30 gram butter; 150 gram king prawn; 1/2 lemon; to taste green beans; to taste chunky fries; 100 gram butter; 3 tablespoon truffle pesto; 1 tablespoon chive; 1 tablespoon dill; 1/2 lemon

Step 1

First, make the truffle and herb butter. Mix the butter (100 g) , truffle pesto (45 g) , chives (3 g) , dill (as needed) and lemon zest (1/2) in a bowl with some salt and pepper. Spoon onto a sheet of parchment, place another sheet of parchment on top and flatten until the butter is ½cm thick (approximately 10x15cm). Place onto a tray and into the freezer to firm up.

Step 2

Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil over the Collection British salt dry-aged sirloin steaks (2) and season on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a large non-stick or cast-iron frying pan onto a high heat. When the pan is smoking hot, hold the steaks fat-side-down in the pan and cook for 1 minute to render the fat. When the fat is crispy, lay the steaks in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, depending on their thickness.

Step 3

Remove the pan from the heat and add in the rosemary (1 sprig) and thyme (2 sprigs) , followed by the butter (30 g) . As the butter melts, use it to baste the steaks. After a couple of minutes, remove the steaks from the pan and transfer them to a plate. Pour over the butter and set aside.

Step 4

Remove the truffle butter from the freezer. Using a cutter, cut out some pieces, reserving the offcuts.

Step 5

Add another 1 tbsp oil to the pan and place over a medium-high heat. Tip the prawns (150 g) into the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until pink. Add the butter offcuts to the pan along with the lemon zest (1/2) . Remove from the heat and squeeze in the lemon juice.

Step 6

Serve the steak with the prawns on top and the green beans (to taste) and triple-cooked chips (to taste) on the side. Add a few of the truffle butter cut-outs to the steak, prawns and green beans.
