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:

  1. Pan-fry your steak to your liking in olive oil and seasoning until seared on both sides. 
  2. 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. 
  3. Remove from the heat and allow the steak to rest on a board or plate topped with the pan juices. 
  4. Meanwhile, microwave your potatoes and dish up the salad to serve. 
  5. 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
