Ingredients:

4 thick-cut beef steaks (about 175g apiece)
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
1 tbsp butter
175g firm wild mushrooms (use your choice or substitute chestnut mushrooms), cleaned and finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tbsp ginger wine (or the liquid from a 2cm piece of ginger pounded with 3 tbsp water and strained)
1 tbsp fresh wholemeal breadcrumbs
1 tbsp double cream

Method:

Using a sharp, pointed, knife make a horizontal cut in the steaks so that you form a pocket extending about half way through. Season to taste and set aside as you prepare the stuffing.

Melt the butter in a pan and use to lightly fry the mushrooms, garlic and onion for about 5 minutes, or until the onion is nicely softened. Take off the heat then stir-in the parsley, ginger wine, breadcrumbs and cream. Mix thoroughly to combine then spoon the mixture into the pockets cut in the steaks, so that they are generously filled.

Heat your grill (broiler) and use to cook for between 5 and 15 minutes, or until the meat is cooked to your desired level of done-ness. Serve immediately with buttered new potatoes, broccoli or cabbage.
