Serve up a richly flavourful meal with Merrilees Parker's recipe for peppered steak served with butterbean puree and roast mushrooms

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp anchovy essence
  • 55g Butter, softened
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin Olive oil
  • 2 large Portobello mushrooms, wiped clean but not peeled
  • 1 small Onions, finely diced
  • 1 clove Garlic, crushed
  • 400g tinned butter beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tsp White peppercorns
  • 2 tsp Black peppercorns
  • 2 tsp pink peppercorns
  • 0.5 tsp sea salt
  • 2 tsp Dijon Mustard
  • 2 rib-eye steaks
  • 1 tbsp light Olive oil
  • 55ml double cream
  • 1 tsp freshly grated horseradish, jarred or good quality horseradish sauce
  • 1 pinch black pepper
  • 2 tbsp chopped Parsley
  • 2 tbsp chopped Chives
  • 2 tbsp dry Sherry

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC/gas 6.

2. Mix together the anchovy essence with 25g of the butter and one tablespoon of the extra-virgin olive oil.

3. Smear the mixture all over the mushrooms. Place in a roasting dish and cook for 12-15 minutes, when the mushrooms should be just tender.
4. Meanwhile melt the remaining butter in a heavy-based saucepan.

5. Add in the chopped onion and cook over a medium heat until just softened, around 3 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for a further minute. Stir in the butter beans and allow to just heat through.

6. Place the white, black and pink peppercorns and sea salt in a pestle and mortar and roughly crush. Alternatively place in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin.

7. Rub the Dijon mustard all over the steaks, then tip half the peppercorn mixture onto a plate. Coat both sides of one of the steaks with the salt and pepper mix.

8. Repeat the process with the other steak.

9. Heat a heavy-based frying pan until smoking hot, then add in the light olive oil.

10. Fry for about 2-3 minutes each side depending on thickness and how rare you like your steak. Remove from the pan and allow to rest.

11. Next add about 2-3 tablespoons of the cream to the butterbeans with the horseradish and season generously with salt and freshly ground pepper.

12. Blend or mash to a rough puree and then stir in the parsley and chives. You may need to add a little more cream if the mash is too stiff.

13. Finally over a high heat, de-glaze the steak pan with the sherry, stirring to incorporate all the lovely juices. Stir in the remaining mustard and the cream. Bring to a gentle bubble and thicken slightly.

14. Serve the steaks with the butterbean mash with the roast mushrooms on one side and a drizzle of the sherry cream sauce. Serve with wilted spinach.
