Additional Ingredients
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.
