Bbq Sirloin Steak Supreme


I got this recipe from an old mate of mine, peter howard. He is the resident chef on the today show here in oz. I have worked with peter for years and he has never led me astray with a 'crook' recipe yet, this is no exception. It is a little fiddly to prepare the garlic confit first, but once done you have a supply that will last a long time, and the flavour is superb.

Steps


Make sure the steaks are trimmed of all fat that you want leave some on as this is a source of great flavour.
Grind over with as much black pepper as you want and set to one side.
Make the butter , which is better done the night before use.
In a mixing bowl , mash all the ingredients together with a potato masher and then whisk to combine.
The finished butter can then be placed in a serving bowl or rolled in grease proof paper to a sausage shape.
The latter can be frozen and the former is best refrigerated.
Cook the steak in a hot pan or on the open slat of your very hot barbeque leave to sit for 2 minutes.
Turn to cook on the other side.
Cook the meat a further 2 minutes turn onto a spot which has medium heat and cook for 3 minutes on each side and your steak will be cooked medium.
If you want rare , cook it only 1 minute on each side and well done will need 5 minutes each side after the initial sealing of the meat.
Lift meat onto a warmed plate and leave to sit for 3 minu.
