This luxurious combo of truffle oil and pan-fried large brown mushrooms on a perfectly cooked matured steak is the stuff dreams are made of.

Ingredients: (serves 1, adjust accordingly for more people)
300g aged steak of your choice, boneless
Olive oil for drizzling
Salt & pepper
30g butter
A few large brown mushrooms, sliced
2 sprigs thyme, woody stalks discarded
A few drops of truffle oil (or truffle flavoured oil)

Method:
• Drizzle the steak with oil and season with salt & pepper. Braai over hot coals or grill in a piping hot griddle pan, until cooked to your liking (3.5 minutes a side for a 3cm thick steak, for medium rare). Remove and leave to rest while you prepare the mushrooms.
• Heat the butter over high heat in a pan, then fry the mushrooms with the thyme until golden brown on all sides. Season with salt & pepper. Remove from the heat, then add a few drops of truffle oil and stir to mix.
• Top the rested steak with the hot truffle mushrooms and serve at once.
