Beef sirloin lollipop marinated in malabar pepper and rosemary, blanched onion purée |

Preparation time: 45 min

• Mise-en-place

  Cut the beef into 24 cubes, all the same size. Chop the rosemary. With a mortar, crush the Sichuan pepper. Mince the onions. Take the leaves off the thyme and finely chop the garlic.

• Beef lollipop

  One hour in advance, if possible, marinate the beef into the balsamic, soya, rosemary and Sichuan mixture. Sieve them well and dry them accordingly before searing them 2-3mins in a pan at high heat with a little bit of vegetable oil. Reserve 2-3mins before putting them on the sticks.

• Onion purée

  Gently melt the butter in a pan. Add in the onions, the thyme and the garlic. Cook it all with a lid on, at medium heat while stirring, for 5 mins. Once the onion is thoroughly cooked, blend it all for 2 mins to get the perfect texture. Season.
