    Meanwhile, melt extra butter in same pan on medium. Saute eschalots, garlic and herbs 2-3 minutes, or until tender. Increase heat to high and add mushrooms. Cook 4-5 minutes, until golden.

    Add wine to pan to deglaze. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2-3 minutes, until reduced by half. Stir in stock and simmer 2 minutes.

    Mix in cream. Season to taste. Serve steaks with sauce. Accompany with baby spinach leaves and chips.

Notes

Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your steaks. Always use good-quality wine, medium to dry, when cooking savoury dishes. Poor-quality wine could affect the flavour of the dish.
