2 tbs dried porcini mushrooms (from greengrocers), very finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tbs thyme leaves
100g unsalted butter, softened
4 x 150g minute steaks
1 bunch salad onions, halved lengthways
2 lemons, halved
Extra virgin olive oil, to brush

Method

1.

Place porcini in a bowl with 2 tbs boiling water. Set aside until liquid is absorbed, then add garlic, thyme and butter. Season and stir to combine. Spread half the butter over steaks.
2.

Preheat a large frypan over high heat until smoking. In batches, cook steaks for 1 minute on one side, then turn and cook for 30 seconds for medium-rare, or until cooked to your liking.
3.

Remove the steaks from pan and rest, loosely covered with foil, for 4 minutes.
4.

Meanwhile, wipe pan clean and return to high heat. Brush onions and lemon halves with olive oil and cook for 2 minutes each side until charred and slightly tender.
5.

Serve steaks with lemon and onions and top with remaining porcini butter.
