Ingredients

• 350g sirloin steak

• 1 onion
• 2 tbsp ghee
• 1 tsp thyme

Method

You’ll need: frying pan · chopping board · knife

1. Cut the sirloin steak across the grain into thin strips.
2. Clean the mushrooms with a brush or a little kitchen paper and cut them into even slices.
3. Peel the onion, cut it into strips and fry it with the mushrooms in 1 tbsp ghee over a high heat until they take on colour.
4. Take out the veg, add the second tablespoon of ghee to the pan and sear the meat over a high heat for just 2 min.
5. Return the mushroom mixture, sprinkle over the thyme, toss everything briefly and serve straight away.

Good to know

Steak and mushrooms go brilliantly together. Seared hot in ghee, they make a hearty meal in just a few minutes.

Swaps

Sirloin steak → chicken breast (leaner, fry for less time).

Cooking tips

Never wash mushrooms under running water. They soak it up like a sponge straight away and turn rubbery when fried.

Storage

Mushroom dishes reheat without any problem. Cool the dish quickly, though, and get it into the fridge fast.
