Ingredients
- 2 lean sirloin, rump or rib-eye steaks
- Large knob butter
- 2 teaspoons rapeseed or sunflower oil
- 1 small onion or 2 shallots, peeled and finely chopped
- 100g chestnut or button mushrooms, sliced
- 1-2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1-2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons good red wine
- 3 tablespoons good, hot beef stock
- 3 tablespoons double cream or crème fraîche
- 1 tablespoon freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley, to garnish
Method
- Remove the steaks from the fridge at least 1 hour before cooking to bring up to room temperature.
- Heat half the butter in a non-stick pan. Oil and season the steaks on both sides and cook the steaks according to your preference. Transfer to a warm plate and cover with foil.
- Reduce the heat in the pan, add the remaining butter and oil. Cook the shallots and mushrooms for 5-8 minutes, or until soft, but not coloured.
- Add the mustard and Worcestershire sauce and stir well. Add the red wine and stock. Increase the heat and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add any meat juices from the steak plate.
- Remove from the heat and add the cream or crème fraîche until the sauce thickens. Garnish with the parsley.
