About

Midweek, if my spirits are flagging, I might resort to an invigorating kick-start from a piece of sirloin, cooked nice and rare. With it I like a good dollop of my own secret steak sauce. Not so secret now, I guess.

Ingredients

2 sirloin steaks
unsalted butter or sunflower oil
fried potatoes (optional)
flaked sea salt

Main course
Sauce

Method

Combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl and mix them together thoroughly. Loosen with a tiny splash of water.
Get a frying pan nice and hot, add a little butter or sunflower oil and lay in the steaks - they should sizzle immediately. Season the side facing you with sea salt before flipping the steaks over.
Cook the steaks how you like them
