Surf 'n' Turf from Australia
Description
Surf and turf always offers the best of sea and land, fresh prawns and juicy steak in this case, made more appealing by the tangy beer sauce on the side. Serve with chunky oven fries.
Ingredients
2 steaks (sirloin or fillet mignon steaks) 4 prawns (cooked large shrimp or prawns, shells on) 1 Tablespoon butter 1 Tablespoon olive oil 1 Tablespoon lime juice 1 onion (sliced) 1 Clove garlic (peeled and finely chopped) 1 red chili (or to taste, finely sliced) 1⁄2 Cup cream 1⁄2 Cup lager 1 spring onion (salad onion or scallion, finley sliced)
Instructions
Prepare the beer sauce
Heat olive oil in a pan. Fry softly the onion and chili for 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes more. When onion is soft, stir in cream and lager. Simmer gently for 8-10 minutes.
Prepare steaks and seafood
Grill or pan fry the steaks to your taste.
Heat butter and olive oil in a heavy pan. Add the shrimps and lime juice - it will splatter - and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Garnish and serve
Arrange the steaks on pre-heated plates. Pour over the beer sauce and place shrimp on top. Serve with chunky oven fries or baked potato wedges on the side.
Notes
The zesty beer and cream sauce will go well with the local game meat - kangaroo or emu - so it would be worth to try it, if you can get hold of any of them.

Remarkable
If you were food shopping in Australia soon you’ll realize that the word to describe produce is fresh. From seafood in every shape and size, local fruit and vegetables, to beef and, for sure, lamb. In modern Australia, this surf ‘n’ turf dish could be easily prepared using kangaroo fillet instead of beef.
