Saucy Steak

What you'll need:

Sea salt flakes

30 ml olive oil

30 ml butter

125 ml Sedgwick’s Original Old Brown

freshly ground black pepper

For the mushroom sauce:

300 g mixed mushrooms such as portabellini, king oysters, porcini and button, chopped

125 ml thick, double cream

10 ml dark soy sauce

30 ml garlic, finely chopped

4 Rib eye steaks, about 2,5cm thick

Preparation Instructions:

1. Allow the steaks to come to room temperature.

2. In a big, heavy-based pan, fry the mushrooms in the butter and olive oil over medium to high heat. Add the garlic and season to taste. Set aside in the pan.

3. Heat a griddle pan until piping hot. Brush each steak with olive oil, season on both sides with salt and sear for 2 minutes on each side.

4. Remove the steaks from the pan and place on a warm plate, leave on a slant to rest while you finish the sauce.

5. Deglaze the hot girddle pan with Sedgwick's Old Brown. Place the mushrooms in the pan back on heat and pour the Sedgwick's Old Brown from the hot griddle pan onto the mushrooms. Add the cream, soy sauce and a good grinding of black pepper.

6. Serve the warm steaks with the mushroom sauce.
