  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 30 ml (2 Tbsp) Rajah Mild Masala Curry Powder
  • 15 ml (1 Tbsp) Worcestershire sauce
  • 5 ml (1 tsp) finely grated lemon zest
  • 15 ml (1 Tbsp) fresh Origanum, finely chopped
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • crushed roasted baby potatoes, to serve
  • 1 handful rocket leaves, to serve

Cooking Method

For the curry butter sauce:

  1. Cook the onions in half the butter over a medium to low heat for about 20 - 30 minutes, or until they have shrunk considerably and become sticky and golden.

  2. Add the garlic towards the end and cook along with the onions for at least 5 minutes. Then add the Rajah Mild Masala Curry Powder and cook for a minute. Lastly, stir in the Worcestershire sauce.

  3. Remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature.

  4. Tip the cooked onions into a small food processor and pulse until you have a rough paste. Alternatively, you can chop them manually with a sharp knife.

  5. In a small bowl, combine the onion mixture, the remainder of the softened butter, the lemon zest and the origanum. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

For the steak:

  1. To cook the steak, drizzle with olive oil and season well with salt and pepper.

  2. Heat a pan (a griddle pan works well) to a high heat, add the steaks and cook for 5 minutes on one side. Turn them over and cook for another 5 minutes on the other side, or until done to your liking.

  3. Serve the steak sliced, with a generous dollop of curry butter sauce, plus crushed roasted baby potatoes and a side of a rocket salad.
