Scale
- 4 (6-ounce) grassfed filet mignon steaks
- 1 pound sliced button mushrooms (or substitute wild mushrooms of your choice)
- 2 sprigs thyme
- 2 cloves garlic
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
- 3 ounces butter (plus extra for toping steaks)
- 2 tablespoons crème fraîche
- 1 small bunch chives, minced
- ½ cup bread crumbs
Instructions
- Over medium-high heat, sauté mushrooms in butter with thyme and garlic until dry. Turn them out onto a cutting board and chop finely. Transfer the mushrooms into a mixing bowl and add Parmesan cheese, crème fraîche and minced chives; adjust seasoning and reserve.

- Top each steak with the mushroom mixture. Smooth a flat surface on the top, sprinkle with bread crumbs, and drizzle with olive oil or melted butter.
- Roast in bbq until desired temperature.
