Method

Ingredients

Heat the duck fat in a pan over a high heat. Season the steaks with salt to taste, then place in the pan. Cook for 2 minutes undisturbed to ensure the steak is properly sealed.

Turn and cook the other side for 3 minutes for medium rare. If you prefer the steak cooked longer, finish it in the oven at 180°C for 3 minutes. Allow the steak to rest for 5 minutes.

To make the mushroom and green peppercorn sauce, heat the butter and olive oil in a pan over a medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook undisturbed for 1 minute to ensure they caramelise without sweating. Add the garlic and toss to coat the mushrooms, then add the cream. Cook for a further minute, then add the green peppercorns and season to taste. Serve the sauce alongside the steak.
