Ingredients
Beef sirloin with herbed butter and pommes frites
- 3 potatoes (900g)
- 1 1/2 tablespoon cracked black pepper
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 4 x 250g beef sirloin steaks
- peanut oil, for deep-frying
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- herbed butter
- 1 clove garlic
- 60 gram butter, softened
- 2 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil
- 2 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
Method
Beef sirloin with herbed butter and pommes frites
-
1Cut peeled potatoes into 5mm slices; cut each slice into 5mm strips. Place potato in large bowl, cover with water; stand 1 hour. Drain; pat dry with absorbent paper.
-
2Meanwhile, make herbed butter. Beat ingredients in small bowl until combined. Place on piece of plastic wrap, wrap tightly, shape into rectangle; refrigerate until just firm.
-
3Combine pepper and salt on oven tray; press both sides of beef into pepper and salt mixture. Rest beef on oven tray while making frites.
-
4Heat peanut oil in large saucepan or wok; cook potato, in batches, 3 minutes or until just tender, but not browned. Drain on absorbent paper.
-
5Meanwhile, heat olive oil in large frying pan; cook beef until browned both sides and cooked as desired. Cover; stand 5 minutes.
-
6Reheat peanut oil in pan; cook frites again, in batches, until browned lightly and crisp. Drain on absorbent paper.
-
7Serve beef topped with herbed butter, accompanied with pommes frites.
Notes
For an alternative topping, mix in a tablespoon each of horseradish and seeded mustard into butter. The potatoes have been twice-cooked to guarantee their crispness. We used beef sirloin with the bone in, but rib eye, fillet from the rump or eye fillet steaks are all suitable for this recipe.
