Try this easy and delicious Valentine’s Day meal
For a Valentine’s Day meal that’s low on fuss but high on wow-factor, how about some delicious butter-basted sirloin steak with garlicky baby potatoes on the side, and a showstopping dessert of chocolate mousse s’mores pudding? Sound good? We think so too …
INGREDIENTS:
Easy
Serves 2
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Butter-basted sirloin steak:
- 600 g Woolworths Mature Thick Cut Beef Sirloin Steak
- 1 T olive oil
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 t each of prepared garlic, chilli and ginger
- Woolworths Garlic Butter
- 350 g garlic and herb baby potatoes
- Woolworths Green Slaw and Candy Beetroot salad, to serve
Instant chocolate mousse s’mores dip:
- 300 g Woolworths Chocolate Mousse
- Mini marshmallows, 2 handfuls
- Strawberries, to serve
- Biscuits of choice, to serve
METHOD:
- Pan-fry your steak to your liking in olive oil and seasoning until seared on both sides.
- Just before you’re ready to remove from the pan, add a knob or two of garlic butter and the chilli, garlic, ginger and allow the butter to melt over the steaks. Tilt the pan slightly and using a spoon, baste the steaks for 30 seconds to a minute with the fragrant pan juices.
- Remove from the heat and allow the steak to rest on a board or plate topped with the pan juices.
- Meanwhile, microwave your potatoes and dish up the salad to serve.
- To make your chocolate mousse s’mores pudding, dish chocolate mousse into a small, shallow dish and top with lots of mini marshmallows to make a layer over the mousse. Blowtorch the marshmallows to brûlée at the table for a bit of theatre and serve with halved strawberries or mini oat digestives to dip.
And then, of course, you need something festive (preferably sparkly) to enjoy on Valentine’s Day
