Sirloin Steak & Whisky Peppercorn
Dry Aged Scotch Sirloin Steak with Truffle Caesar Salad, Triple Cooked Chips, Creamed Spinach and Scotch Whisky Peppercorn Sauce.
Glasgow-born senior product manager Jamie regularly cooks for his mountaineering club and dreams of opening a boutique Highland hotel. He brings this dish to celebrate the best of Scotland on a plate.
Jamie: "I'm doing dry aged Scotch sirloin, chubby cooked chips, creamed spinach, Caesar salad, and a whisky peppercorn sauce, steak and chips."
Jamie: "I think it celebrates the best of Scotland on a plate. There was a lot of process going on in this dish. I went through and wrote down step by step, and I come out to like 45 steps that I need to do just to do steak and chips."
Pre-cook brief from the judges: the sirloin should be medium rare with a lovely golden crust; the peppercorn sauce silky, peppery and boozy; the chips triple cooked.
John Torode: "Your steak is beautifully cooked. Gorgeous caramelisation, lovely in the centre. Your sauce with the whisky is very nice. Really well executed. Your spinach is beautiful. You've shown us a ton of skill and some excellent flavours here."
Grace Dent: "I just want to be alone for a moment with the chips. They are fluffy and crunchy, and they are so heavenly to dip into your sauce. Really brilliant."
Outcome: WON an apron in the first round.
