Season steaks with salt & pepper.

Heat heavy base pan and add a good glug of olive oil.

When smoking, add the steaks and cook for 3-4 mins each side, then rest for half the total cooking time.

In the same pan, saute mushrooms, deglaze with red wine, reduce by half, then add veal or chicken stock and reduce by half again.

To finish, add a splash of cream, butter, lots of freshly ground black pepper, parsley and thyme.

Slice the steak (if desired) and pour over the black pepper and mushroom sauce.
