Prepare

Before you start, have all your equipment and ingredients measured and ready.

Chop all the ingredients before cooking the steak so you can make the sauce quickly whilst the steak rests.

If you’ve cooked steak, save those pan juices! They’re gold for flavour.

Cook

Melt your butter in a pan on medium-high heat. Sauté the mushrooms for about 5 minutes before adding the garlic and onions for another 10 minutes.

Time for the thyme! Strip the leaves from thyme sprigs and sprinkle them in.

Merge the beef stock and Dijon mustard into the mix with a good old stir, seasoning it with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Thicken Mushroom Sauce

In a separate bowl, blend cornstarch with a tablespoon of water until smooth and stir this into your pan.

Bring to the boil, then lower the heat. If you are not using cream or making it ahead to freeze, you can end the cooking process here.

Or continue making the creamy sauce by adding in the double cream.

Stirring until warm, avoid boiling with the cream.
