- 1 garlic clove
- 200g/7oz chestnut mushrooms
- ½ black garlic bulb
- 200ml/7fl oz chicken stock

Method
To cook the steak, place the garlic, rosemary and olive oil in a bowl, add the steak and marinate for at least 1 hour. Remove the steak from the marinade and cook on a hot griddle pan for 2–3 minutes on each side, depending on the size and thickness of the steak. Leave to rest whilst you prepare the rest of the dish, then cut into slices. Reserve the meat cooking juices.
To make the black garlic purée, heat the oil in a saucepan. Add the garlic and mushrooms and cook for 3–4 minutes. Add the black garlic and stock and bring to the boil. Once the mushrooms are cooked in the liquid, add the cream and blend to a purée.
To make the charred sprouting broccoli, heat a griddle pan. If the broccoli is tender, char it straight away on the hot griddle pan. If the broccoli is quite tough, blanch it in boiling water before charring. Dress the charred broccoli with the meat juices, olive oil and tarragon.
Spoon the black garlic purée onto a serving plate, add the steak slices and top with the sprouting broccoli. Garnish with the tarragon and serve.
