steaks with thyme-buttered mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 50g unsalted butter
- 4 field mushrooms
- 1 bunch thyme sprigs
- 4 x 100g beef minute (sirloin) steaks
- sea salt and cracked black pepper
- store-bought pesto, to serve
- Heat the oil and butter in a large frying pan over high heat. Add the mushrooms, cap-side down, and cook for 1–2 minutes or until starting to soften. Turn the mushrooms, add the thyme and cook for a further minute.
- Remove from the pan and set aside. Sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper and cook, in batches, for 1–2 minutes each side.
- Top each steak with a mushroom and drizzle with any remaining butter and oil mixture from the pan. Spoon over pesto and top with the thyme to serve. Serves 4.
