Bought some lovely Angus Sirloins... and prepared this dish for my family this evening... here, i prepared medium well steaks – the surfaces were dark brown with a little charring on both sides and a little stiff... and in the middle, a hint of pink and a little squish (please see 2nd picture above)... Overall – very juicy and succulent… and my elder bros luved the dish and rated it 9.5/10... here's the recipe... :p

The Angus sirloins that i used looked pink and pristine with a thick wedge of creamy fat (please see picture a below). Simply rinse them in water, pat dry using kitchen towels, flatten with a meat mallet and marinate with coarsely grounded black pepper and chopped garlic (b). p.s. do not marinate with salt at this stage as it will release the juices in the beef. Leave in the fridge for about half an hour.

Meanwhile, prepare the accompaniments with ingredients given in (c) to give a lovely White Fungus Mushrooms Sautéed in Red Wine, Cauliflowers and Red Capsicum Salad (d) and Baked Potatoes with Mixed herbs and Sea Salt (e). Let’s start… boil cauliflowers and capsicums in water till cooked, drain and arrange on a plate. Heat a little butter and fry white fungus mushrooms till fragrant, add a little red wine and a stalk of rosemary and season with a little sea salt and allow the mushrooms to sauté in the lovely red wine butter sauce. Remove the mushrooms and lay them over the cauliflowers. Next, thicken the sauce with corn starch and pour half the sauce over the veggies and keep the remaining for the sirloins. For the baked potatoes, marinate cut potatoes with dry basils and oregano, a little sea salt and olive oil, wrap with aluminium foil and bake in an oven preheated to 200 degrees C for 45 minutes. To prepare the medium well steaks, heat a little butter and cook the steaks over high heat for about a minute on each side to seal in the juice, sprinkle a little sea salt and grill for another 4 minutes per side. Pour the remaining red wine butter sauce over the sirloins and voilà, it’s done! You may serve the sirloins with the accompaniments (f).
