Elevate your grilling game with this restaurant-quality steak recipe featuring the luxurious intensity of Sticky Balsamic Premium Truffle Pearls. Each pearl delivers an explosive burst of umami-rich truffle flavor that transforms simple grilled meat into a gourmet masterpiece.

Ingredients:

  • 2 premium ribeye or sirloin steaks (250-300g / 9-10 oz each)
  • 3-4 tablespoons Sticky Balsamic Premium Truffle Pearls
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons coarse sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Steaks: Remove steaks from refrigeration 30 minutes before cooking to reach room temperature. Pat completely dry with paper towels.

  2. Season Generously: Brush steaks lightly with olive oil, then season both sides with sea salt and black pepper. The salt will help create that perfect crust.

  3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your BBQ to high heat (around 230°C/450°F). Clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking.

  4. Grill to Perfection:

    • Place steaks on the hottest part of the grill
    • Cook 3-4 minutes without moving for beautiful grill marks
    • Flip once and cook another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare
    • Add rosemary sprigs to the grill for aromatic smoke
  5. Rest and Finish: Remove steaks and let rest for 5 minutes on a wooden cutting board. This allows juices to redistribute.

  6. The Truffle Pearl Moment: Just before serving, generously scatter Sticky Balsamic Premium Truffle Pearls over the steaks and around the cutting board. The pearls will provide incredible bursts of truffle flavor with each bite!

  7. Serve Immediately: Slice against the grain if desired, ensuring each piece gets some of those precious truffle pearls.

Why This Combination Works: The rich, beefy flavor of perfectly grilled steak pairs magnificently with the intense umami depth of truffle balsamic pearls. Each pearl bursts with concentrated truffle essence that complements rather than overpowers the meat's natural flavors.

Pro Tips:

  • Use a meat thermometer: 54°C (130°F) for medium-rare
  • Don't move the steaks while cooking - let them develop those beautiful grill marks
  • The truffle pearls are best added just before serving
  • Have pearls available for guests to add more as desired

Perfect for Both Seasons: Whether you're embracing winter comfort cooking in Australia or firing up summer grills in the USA, this recipe delivers restaurant-quality results that showcase the versatility of our medal-winning Sticky Balsamic Premium Truffle Pearls.

Wine Pairing: This gourmet steak pairs beautifully with a bold Cabernet Sauvignon or rich Shiraz that can stand up to both the meat and the intense truffle flavors.
