Steaks with Mushroom Sauce and Cauliflower Purée

To prepare the cauliflower purée; cook the cauliflower in a large pan of boiling water with the crumbed vegetable stock cube for 15 minutes, or until tender.

Transfer to a food processor or blender, add the melted garlic butter and purée for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth. Season if required.

For the mushroom sauce; melt the remaining butter in a non-stick medium frying pan over a moderate heat and gently cook mushrooms for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the sherry and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the sauce is reduced and syrupy.

Heat a non-stick griddle pan over a moderate heat.

Put the steaks on a clean chopping board, season and brush with the oil on both sides.

Cook the steaks according to your preference; transfer to a warm plate and set aside to rest for a few minutes.

Reheat the purée, if required and place the steaks on top, spoon over the mushroom sauce, garnish with the parsley, if used and serve with seasonal vegetables.
