- Servings: 20
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 6 minutes
This combination of barbecued sirloin, horseradish crème fraiche and crisp crackers is perfect for entertaining or a pre-dinner appetizer. We used seed crackers (each broken into 2 pieces), but store-bought blinis are a delicious alternative.
Tip: bring beef back to room temperature before grilling.
Ingredients:
For the Beef:
- 2 New Zealand grass-fed sirloin steaks (about 1 inch thick) (Tip: Look for the Taste Pure Nature logo)

- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the horseradish crème fraiche:
- ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons horseradish cream
- ½ cup crème fraiche
- Grated zest of 1 lemon

To serve:

For the beef:
- 1. Heat the barbecue until hot.
- 2. Rub sirloin steaks with oil. Place on the hot barbecue grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium rare beef. Remove from the grill to a plate and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover loosely with foil or parchment paper and leave to rest for at least 5 minutes.
For the horseradish crème fraiche:
- 3. Place all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
To serve:
