Steak in Garlic Mushroom, Pancetta and Port sauce

One of my all time favourites!

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil 

15g butter

2 medium shallots, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

10 small mushrooms, finely chopped

2 slices of pancetta, cut into thin strips

small glass of port

small beef stock cube, or beef stock

Fillet steaks.

Single cream

1. Heat the oil and butter together until the butter melts. Add the shollots and garlic and fry for 4 mins or until lightly coloured.

2. Add the pancetta and mushrooms and cook for 1-2mins, stirring regularly. Deglaze the pan with Port adding sprinkles of the beef stock cube or the beef stock, as much as you want. Bring to boil and simmer for a couple of minutes until the sauce thickens. Add a dash of single cream.

3. Whilst the sauce is simmering, cook the steaks as rare as you like, season first with pinch of salt and lots of black pepper.

4. Serve with the mushroom sauce. Yum.
