Grilled Beef Sirloin with Shiitake Sauce (Recipe)

 

Ingredients

900g (2lb) beef sirloin, trimmed of all fat

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Olive oil

30g (1oz) unsalted butter

1/2 tbsp very finely chopped root ginger

150g (5oz) fresh shiitake mushrooms

250ml (8fl oz) thick whipping cream

1215ml (4fl oz) rice wine

2 tbsp tamari

1 tbsp honey

3/4 tsp grated orange zest

1/2-1 tsp Chinese chilli paste

Fresh parsley for garnish

Steps

1.  Prepare a charcoal grill or preheat a grill to 180°C, 350°F.

2.  Season the beef with salt and pepper.  Brush the grill with olive oil and grill the beef for about 30-40 minutes, turning about every 10 minutes, until the internal temperature of the meat reads 85°C, 135°F for medium-rare.  Let the meat stand in a warm place for at least 10 minutes to allow the juices to reabsorb.

3.  Place a large saute pan over high heat.  Add the butter and the ginger and cook, stirring frequently, for about 2 minutes.  Add the mushrooms and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.  Add the whipping cream, rice wine, tamari, honey, orange zest and chilli paste; bring to the boil, stirring often, and reduce to a simmer until the sauce thickens.

4.  Cut the meat into four even steak portions and place on heated plates.  Spoon the sauce around the beef, and garnish with chopped parsley.
