Take the sirloin steaks out of the fridge and let them come to room temperature.

Drizzle the steaks with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.

Get a large frying pan super hot on the hob.

Add the steaks to the hot pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side.

Remove the pan from the heat and add a knob of butter and fresh herbs to the pan.

As the butter melts, baste the steaks with the melted butter and herbs.

Check the doneness of the steak by prodding it with your finger; it should feel soft with a little resistance for medium-rare.

Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest.

Add 2 teaspoons of truffle pesto and the Honduran prawns to the pan once the butter has melted.

Add the zest of half a lemon and squeeze in the juice over the prawns.

Add chopped fresh herbs to the prawns and mix well.

Serve the steak topped with the prawns and finish with your choice of sides.
