Method

  1. First, make the topping. Heat the butter in a frying pan until foaming, then fry the ceps for 4 mins until soft. Add the garlic, cook for 1 min more, then splash the wine into the pan and simmer until dry. Tip the ceps into a bowl and combine with the rest of the ingredients.
  2. Heat the grill to high. Heat the oil in a large frying pan until practically smoking, then sear the steaks for 1 min on each side until well browned (this will give you a rare steak). Spoon the topping over the steaks and place under the grill for 3-4 mins until bubbling and golden. Lift the steaks onto plates and serve with salad.

Why not try

Tossing fried ceps through cooked tagliatelle with lots of herbs and a good glug of olive oil. Or simply spreading the topping on toast - a kind of mushroom rarebit.

    This is a beautiful recipe - so quick and easy too. Really transforms steak and makes it extra special. I found the parmesan slightly too strong, so halved that ingrediant. I made this for family who were well impressed - also made the Wild Mushroom Soup of Barneys as a starter and have now firmly cemented my abilities as a cook with them (if only they knew just how easy it all was tho!!)

    I was so determined to make this last night to go on my lovely Denver cut steak I made it with what I had to hand - very ordinary mushrooms and a bit of Rose wine, and also forgot the Parmesan, and it was still fabulous. Didn't have any fresh herbs either, I used a scant tsp of preserved 'Tarragon in a jar' and it worked really well... So goodness only knows how nice it is with all the right ingredients! Timings for the steak were spot on too... Thanks Barney!
