Sirloin steak with basmati rice

28 Sep

Hello!

So today is all about quick lunchs. You have 30 min to 1 hour, you DON’T have time to waist and with the current economy we can’t always eat out.

My advice is to to always have something that is quick and simple to prepare in yout fridge and fresh ideas, so you still can have a flavourish dish.

When this happens to me, this is one of my favourite recipes to use. It’s sirloin steak with basmati rice and of course my own twists. The good thing is that you can add anything according to what you like, but don’t forget that it can’t over power the flavour of the meat, but just enhance it.

I also made a simple basmati rice, because it’s my favourite. I also was doing it for me and my father, so the quantity you see it’s for 2 sirloin steak. Here it is…

Ingredients:

For the steak:

2x sirloin steak

1 tablespoon of parsley

10 gr of butter

a little of water

6 cloves of garlic

For the rice:

1 l of water

1 cup of basmati rice (4 cups of water=1 cup of rice)

Preparation:

For the rice:

1. Boil the water (it’s always quicker to boil the water in a kettle)

2. Add the rice and let it cook for 5-10 min.

For the sirloin steak:

1. Heat your fying pan till it’s very hot and then add the butter.

2. Put the steak in and the garlic, previous crushed.

3. When the butter as become a sauce, add just a little bit of water (and don’t worry if it gets a bit liquid, because it will eventually evaporate, its only purpose is for the steak not to burn)

4. Turn the steak  over and add the parsley, finely chopped. It takes about 4-5 min in each side, depending on the thickness.

5. Serve with the rice and you can sprynkle parsley on the top of the rice.

I also ended up adding a fryend egg, which doesn’t appear on the photos, but it is also a good addition to the dish. 🙂
