The best steak is often the simplest. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt, a pinch of fresh or dried herbs and some freshly ground black pepper onto the steak just before serving. Grill some tomatoes while cooking the steak or be indulgent and drop a half tsp of olive oil into the centre of a large flat mushroom (1 per portion), fill the centre of the mushroom with a garlic and herb cheese then bake at 180°C, 360°F, gas Mark 4-5 until the mushroom is soft and the cheese topping, golden and bubbly.
Serve immediately.
