Steak with tarragon mushroom sauce

As a kid learning to cook, one of my favourite things to do was fry a steak and then douse it in partially reconstituted Campbell's cream of mushroom soup. To my thirteen-year-old self, it was the height of gastronomy, and I always felt like such a pro afterward. This dish is a play on that childhood 'recipe.'

Cooking Instructions
- 1
The night before, season the steak with salt and place it uncovered in the fridge. This allows the salt time to penetrate the meat, and the cool air dries out the surface of the steak, allowing for a better crust. Take the steak out of the fridge about 20 minutes before cooking.
- 2
Add a knob of butter and a splash of olive oil to a large pan on high heat. Sear the steak to your liking (I go about 4 minutes per side, depending on thickness). Remove the steak to a plate and tent it loosely with foil to rest.
- 3
Add the mushrooms to the pan and fry until they release water, about 2 minutes. Let the liquid cook off, then add the shallot and garlic. Fry about 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the brandy to the pan. Let the alcohol boil off, then add the beef stock. Simmer until the liquid reduces by about half, about 2 minutes. Take the pan off the heat and stir in the tarragon and cream. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve the mushrooms and sauce on the side, or spoon it onto the steak.
