Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Porcini

    Soak the dried porcini mushrooms in warm water for 20 minutes, then drain and chop finely.

  2. 2

    Sear the Steak

    In a hot skillet, sear the fillet steak for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness. Remove from the pan and let it rest.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add minced garlic and chopped porcini mushrooms. Sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the cognac, flambé carefully, and let it reduce slightly.

  4. 4

    Add Cream and Jus

    Add the beef jus and heavy cream to the skillet, stirring to combine. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens. Grate the black truffle into the sauce and mix well.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Slice the rested steak and plate it. Drizzle the truffle cream sauce over the steak and top with slices of prosciutto cotto. Serve immediately.
