Ingredients to serve 4

  • 4 x 200g x sirloin steaks

  • 4 tsp x beef stock granules - dissolve in boiling water

Method

Step 1

Put a dry griddle/frying pan on high heat. On a chopping board rub both sides of each steak with salt, pepper and olive oil. Place steaks in hot pan and sear for 2 to 3 minutes either side for a medium steak. Adjust time to suit your preference. Important - only turn steaks once using tongs (or spoons). Steaks should not overlap. When done, remove and set aside on a plate covered with tin foil to rest for about 10 minutes

Step 2

Turn the heat down to medium and tip the vinegar into the pan and let it bubble for a few seconds, then pour in the beef stock. Simmer for a few minutes until reduced by half and a little syrupy. Now add the cream and lots of coarsely ground black pepper (to taste). Cook for a few more minutes on medium to low heat until thick and creamy

Step 3

Put a saucepan of lightly salted water onto boil. Add the greens beans and boil for about 4 minutes until tender but still a bit crunchy. Drain water away, return saucepan to the stove (turn the heat OFF). Add a few pats of butter and the garlic and allow to stand for a few minutes until the butter is melted.

Step 4

Using a very sharp knife, slice the steaks against the grain: this means cutting across (and not parallel to) the long parallel muscle fibres in the meat creating short fibres in each piece and delivering tender slices of meat

Step 5

To serve, divide the steak strips and beans between the plates, top the steak with peppercorn sauce
