Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

This method is the same as a basic roux, adding garlic and prawns. The cream is better warmed before adding to the butter and flour mixture as it blends better when stirred. The thickness of the sauce depends on the amount of moisture in the prawns, just adjust the reserved cream accordingly.

Use rump steaks or cut of choice.
