Halal Valentine’s Day Steak Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 2 boneless halal rib-eye steaks or sirloin steaks, 2.5cm thick
  • 1 small shallot, mince
  • 1tsp brown sugar
  • 1/8 red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 tsp mustard
  • 1 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into 3 chunks
  • 1/2 tsp chopped fresh thyme leaves

Method:

  • Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet or frying pan over high heat until very hot, roughly 3 minutes. Meanwhile, pat dries the steaks with a kitchen roll and lightly season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Place the steaks into the pan with ¼ inch of space between them. Reduce the heat to medium-high and leave to cook for about 4 minutes.
  • Use tongs to flip the steaks, cooking a further 4 minutes for rare steaks, 5 for medium rare, and 6 for medium.
  • Once cooked put the steaks on a plate and lightly cover them with kitchen foil.
  • Using the same skillet, add in shallots and sugar and cook for 45 seconds.
  • Turn the heat up to high and add the broth, red wine vinegar, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, scraping up sediment on the pan with a wooden spoon.
  • Add in mustard and stir, cooking for another minute.
  • Take the pan off the heat and whisk in butter until it’s melted and the sauce looks thickened and glistening.
  • Remove the bay leaf then spoon the sauce over the steaks. Serve with thick oven chips, grilled corn on the cob, or pilaf rice.

Eat, love, and enjoy!
