Peppered Steak with Creamy Mushroom Sauce
Serves: 4
Ingredients
1 tablespoon Cracked Black Pepper
4 Scotch Fillet Steaks, trimmed
50g Butter, chopped
3 Garlic Cloves, crushed
200g Button Mushrooms, thinly sliced
150g Shiitake Mushrooms, stalks removed, thinly sliced
4 Sprigs of Thyme
2 tablespoons Red Wine or Beef Stock
⅓ cup Thickened Cream

Method
- Rub both sides of the steaks with cracked black pepper and season with salt. Heat 30g butter in a heavy-based frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook steaks for 2 to 3 minutes each side for medium or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate. Cover with foil.
- Add remaining 20g butter, garlic, mushrooms and thyme to pan. Cook, stirring often, for 4 minutes or until mushrooms are tender. Add wine. Cook until wine is almost evaporated. Add cream. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 1 minute or until sauce begins to thicken.
- Spoon mashed potato onto plates. Top with steak and spoon over mushroom sauce. Serve with spinach.
Tips
Always rest beef after cooking. This gives the meat juices a chance to redistribute, giving a more moist and tender result

The quality and ‘value’ of meat should not be measured by how heavy a feedlot can grow their beef. Rather, we look after our animals from when they are born to when they are sent to Greenham – we try to give them a quality of life all the way through – and that’s why we end up with a really good product.
