Biscuit

Braised Beef

Grilled Wild Prawns

Steak Sauce Hollandaise

Method

Biscuit Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Biscuits

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk until just combined. Turn out onto a floured surface, knead a few times, and roll out to 1 inch thick. Cut into rounds and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden.

Braised Beef Preparation

  1. 2

    Braised Beef

    In a large pot, brown the beef on all sides. Add onion, carrot, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour in red wine and beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 2-3 hours until the meat is tender. Shred the beef once cooked.

Grilled Prawns Preparation

  1. 3

    Grill the Prawns

    In a bowl, toss the prawns with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill prawns for 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked through and opaque.

Hollandaise Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Steak Sauce Hollandaise

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk egg yolks and lemon juice until pale. Slowly drizzle in melted butter while whisking continuously until the sauce thickens. Stir in steak sauce, and season with salt and pepper.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Surf + Turf Benny

    Split the biscuits in half. On each half, layer shredded braised beef, grilled prawns, and drizzle with steak sauce hollandaise. Serve immediately.
