Sometimes when your out and about you see something that you just know you want for your dinner and wander through M&S is always dangerous.  However a simple pack of fresh cooked prawns in garlic butter (which were reduced anyway) and a sirloin steak conjured up a quick surf and turf.

Quick Surf & Turf

IMG_0038

  • Thick cut sirloin steak (fat trimmed if you prefer)
  • Pack of M&S Garlic & Parsley Prawns
  • 1/2 dozen asparagus spears
  • handful carrot batons

 

Rub the steak with a little garlic infused olive oil and a good twist of fresh black pepper.  Place on the heated griddle with the asparagus.  At the same time cook the carrots how you prefer (steam/microwave/boil), baring in mind that the steak will take about 7-8 minutes all in.

IMG_0037After about 2 minutes (depending on how you like your steak and the thickness) turn the steak over and turn the asparagus.  After a further 2-3 minutes remove the steak to a warmed plate and cover with foil to rest.  Tip the prawns onto the griddle and warm through and allow them to pick up the flavours of the steak.

Add the prawns, asparagus and carrots to the plate, sit down and enjoy!  This was such a simple thing to cook taking about 10-15 minutes all in.  Okay I cheated a little but sometimes life is too short (and the prawns were only 160 Calories).
