Seared Fillet Steak with Creamy Mustard and Mushroom Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 SuperValu Signature Tastes Smooth & Creamy Potato Mash
• 4 SuperValu Signature Tastes Fresh Irish Hereford Fillet Steak
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 50g butter
• 2 shallots, finely chopped
• 1 pack SuperValu Signature Tastes Irish Mushroom Medley
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 2 sprigs thyme
• 150ml beef stock
• 3 tsp Dijon mustard, optional
• 150ml cream
• Sea salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste

Method

1. In a saucepan, over a low heat, heat the mashed potato and keep warm.
2. Preheat a sauté pan until very hot. Drizzle the oil over the fillets of steak and rub to coat well.
3. Place the fillets on the pan. Season well and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side over high heat, reduce the heat to medium, and add the butter.
4. Continue to cook, basting the steaks in the butter for a further 2-3 minutes for medium or 4-5 minutes for well done.
5. Once ready, remove the steaks from the pan and, over medium heat, add the mushrooms, shallots, garlic, and thyme.
6. Reduce the heat to medium/low, and cook for 60-90 seconds, then add the stock, mustard, and simmer for 2 minutes to reduce and concentrate the flavors.
7. Add the cream and bring back to simmer for a further minute or so.
8. Remove from the heat and add the rested steaks back into the sauce to coat.
9. Serve immediately with some mashed potatoes.
