Ingredients
- 4 200g Galloway Beef Fillets
- 100g St James Smoked Salmon (Man o’ Swords Cure)
- 50g Meaux Mustard
- 1tbsp Stock Syrup (equal quantities of sugar and water boiled together)
- 100g Mayo
- 5 drops Hickory smoke extract
- 20 Silverskin Onions, peeled
- 200ml Chicken Stock
- 100g Unsalted Butter
- 300ml Beef Jus
- 25ml Man O’ Words Whisky
- 1 Lemon
- 50ml Cream
- Sea Salt
Method
- Begin by cooking the silverskin onions in the chicken stock allowing it to reduce right down. Add 25g of butter and sit to one side
- To prepare the sauce bring the beef jus up to a boil and reduce it to sauce consistency. Add the whisky but do not burn off the alcohol. Add the juice of 1 lemon, the cream and sea salt to taste. Set the sauce to one side.
- Before the steaks are cooked ensure they are at room temperature so they cook more evenly. Season the beef heavily with salt and put a heavy pan on the stove to heat up. Once the pan is almost smoking put the steaks in and leave them for 30 seconds. Turn the steak clockwise by a ¼ and leave for another 30 seconds. Turn the steak over and repeat this process on the other side.
- Remove the steak from the pan and using a sharp knife slice along the middle of the steaks. The salmon can then be put into the middle.
- Put the steaks onto a tray with a little bit of butter and put into a pre heated oven at 180 for 6 minutes.
- Once the steaks come out rest them for at least a minute before serving
- While the steak is cooking the mayonnaise can be made by combining the meaux mustard, mayo base and stock syrup.
- Once everything is ready the onions can be reheated with the hickory smoke extract and everything can be plated together.
