Ingredients :

• Steak
• 2 Steaks of choice, patted dry with paper towels (see notes)
• 1 heaped tbsp Unsalted Butter
• 2 small sprigs Fresh Rosemary
• 2 small sprigs Fresh Thyme
• 2 cloves of Garlic, skins on & lightly crushed with palm of hand
• Olive Oil
• Salt & Pepper
• Creamy Mushroom Sauce
• 1 cup / 250ml Heavy/Double Cream
• 1/2 cup / 125ml Beef Stock
• 1/4 cup / 60ml Dry White Wine
• 1 cup / 100g Button Mushrooms, very finely sliced (see notes)
• 2 small Shallots, finely diced
• Salt & Black Pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Bring steak to room temp, then drizzle with olive oil and give a heavy seasoning of salt & pepper.
2. Bring a ‘heavy duty’ pan or cast iron skillet to very high temp, then lay down your steaks (pan must be hot!). Don’t push down or move the steak. For medium rare with a steak approx 2cm thick fry for 2 mins, or until the sighting of blood emerges through the upper surface. Then flip.
3. Add butter, thyme, rosemary & garlic and baste for another 2mins. Remove steaks from pan & leave to rest (important).
4. Lower temp to medium-high, then add mushrooms & fry for 1-2mins until soft, then add shallots. Fry for another couple of minutes until they pick up colour, then remove herbs & garlic. Pour in wine & allow to simmer and reduce. Pour in stock and cream, then season to taste. Simmer until thickened.
