At The Rookery, we work with and support our local producers and suppliers throughout the year. This ensures we are serving dishes that are delicious and of the highest quality with minimal food miles. Our steaks come straight from Ewarts Butcher in Carnoustie. You can’t get much more local than that.

Serves 4
Ingredients:
4 x 400g club steaks
3 garlic cloves
10g chives, finely chopped
10g Maldon sea salt
200g butter, at room temperature
100ml Summer Harvest Cold Pressed Rapeseed oil
200g king oyster mushrooms
200g spinach
Method:
1 Blitz the garlic in a food processor or use a garlic press.
2 Combine the salt, garlic, chives and butter, roll into a cylinder, cover in cling film and leave to set in the fridge.
3 To prepare the mushrooms,
use a brush to remove any earth
or foliage.
4 Rub oil directly on to both sides
of each steak and season.
5 In a hot pan, sear the steak on both sides. Note: You will need to cook this type of steak slightly longer than you would normally
as meat on the bone takes a little longer to achieve the correct core temperature.
6 While the steak is searing,
saute the mushrooms in two tablespoons of your garlic butter
on a medium heat for approximately four minutes, until they are warmed through.
7 Add another two tablespoons of the garlic butter to the mushrooms and then place the spinach on top and allow to wilt.
8 Remove the steak from the pan and allow to rest for a similar amount of time as it was in the pan.
9 To serve, place the steak on a pre-warmed plate, top with the mushrooms and spinach. We serve our steak with some thick hand cut chips, simple and tasty.
Chef’s Tips:
In this recipe I have used king oyster mushrooms, but a great alternative would be girolles as
they are just coming into season and are really tasty and abundant
at this time of year.
Club steak is an on the bone sirloin steak.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
