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 Onion, 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.
