Sirloin On Quinoa Mushroom Risotto

  1. MASSAGE YOUR KALE

    Preheat the oven to 180°C. Boil the kettle. Place the shredded kale on a roasting tray with a drizzle of oil and some seasoning. Using your hands, gently massage until softened and coated. Set aside for step 3. Dilute the beef stock with 300ml of boiling water.

  2. CREAMY QUINOA RISOTTO

    Place a pot or deep saucepan (large enough for the risotto) over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent. Add in the chopped mushrooms and fry for 3-5 minutes until soft and golden. Add ½ of the grated garlic and fry for a further 30-60 seconds until fragrant. Add the quinoa, stir it through the onion and mushroom, and then fry for about a minute. Pour in the diluted stock and some seasoning and bring to a simmer. Gently cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently. On completion, the quinoa should be cooked and have thickened enough to hold its shape on a plate. Remove from the heat and stir through the grated cheese, ½ the sour cream and a generous knob of butter (optional).

  3. ZESTY GREMOLATA

    Place the remaining grated garlic, the chopped parsley, the lemon zest and the juice of 1 lemon wedge in a bowl. Add in a good drizzle of olive oil, some seasoning to taste and mix until combined. Set aside for serving.

  4. GOLDEN MUSHROOMS

    Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Add in the sliced mushroom, fry for 4-5 minutes until soft and golden. Season to taste and remove from the pan. Place the tray of kale in the hot oven and roast for 8-10 minutes until crispy.

  5. ALMOST THERE

    Return the pan to a medium-high heat and pat the steak dry with paper towel. When the pan is hot, sear the steak fat-side down, for 3-5 minutes until crispy. Then, fry for 2-4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your preference (this time frame may depend on the thickness of the steak). During the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter. Remove from the pan on completion and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Lightly season the slices.

  6. IT’S TIME TO FEAST

    Plate up a mound of the mushroom quinoa risotto. Top with juicy steak slices and spoon the gremolata over the slices. Sprinkle over the fried mushroom slices and dollop the remaining sour cream. Side with the crispy kale and a lemon wedge and dig in!
