The Process

1


Marinate the Sirloin

Combine soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic in a bowl. Marinate the sirloin steaks for 30 minutes, turning once.

2


Celeriac Mousseline

Cook celeriac in salted water until tender. Drain and pass through a fine sieve or ricer. Over low heat, incorporate butter and slowly add warm cream until a smooth mousseline forms. Season with white pepper and sea salt.

3


Prepare the Crust

Combine grated cheddar, chopped toasted walnuts, thyme leaves, and lemon zest in a bowl. Set aside.

4


Pan-Sear with Precision

Heat canola oil in a heavy pan. Remove steaks from marinade and sear on high heat for 3 minutes each side for a medium-rare finish. Remove and let rest.

5


Deglaze and Enhance

Deglaze the pan with port wine, reduce by half, and whisk in Dijon mustard. Pour over the steaks for added depth of flavor.

6


Broil the Crusted Sirloin

Top rested sirloins with the walnut-cheese mixture. Place under a preheated broiler until the crust is bubbling and golden.

7


Artful Plating

Spoon the celeriac mousseline onto warm plates. Carefully place the crusted sirloin atop the mousseline and drizzle with the port wine reduction.

8


Garnish and Serve

Adorn the dish with freshly chopped chives and serve immediately for an exquisite dining experience.

Chef Tips:
  • Allow the sirloin to reach room temperature before cooking to ensure even searing.
  • For an added touch of luxury, consider shaving black truffle over the mousseline before serving.

Each component is crafted with care, from the tender marinated sirloin to the silky celeriac mousseline, culminating in a dish that is as delightful to the palate as it is to the eye.
