Enjoy a delicious combination of flavours by cooking on your barbecue and making the most of your side burner. This dish includes a succulent grilled steak accompanied by a rich mushroom sauce, cooked on the side burner, and sautéed vegetables to complement the experience of a complete outdoor kitchen.

Ingredients:

For the grilled steak:

• 4 beef steaks (about 2.5 cm thick)
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (optional)

For the mushroom sauce:

• 2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup beef stock
• 1/2 cup whipping cream
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley for garnish

For the stir-fried vegetables:

• 1 red pepper, cut into strips
• 1 courgette, sliced
• 1 red onion, sliced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Grilled Steak

1. Marinate the Steaks: Pat the steaks dry with kitchen paper and brush with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder and fresh thyme if you like. Let stand at room temperature for about 20 minutes to allow the flavours to be absorbed. Preheat the grill: Turn on the barbecue grill to high temperature. Make sure the grates are clean and lightly greased to prevent the steak from sticking.
2. Cook the steaks: Place the steaks on the grill and cook over direct heat. For medium doneness, cook the steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach the desired doneness. Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest covered with aluminium foil while you prepare the sauce.

Step 2: Prepare the Mushroom Sauce on the Side Burner

1. Turn on the Side Burner: Turn on the side burner of your outdoor kitchen to medium-high heat and place a large frying pan on it.
2. Sauté the mushrooms: Add the butter to the pan and let it melt. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are seared and tender. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
3. Add Liquids and Seasoning: Pour the beef stock and whipping cream into the pan with the mushrooms. Add the Dijon mustard, salt and pepper to taste. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is reduced and thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Adjust the seasoning if necessary and add the chopped parsley before serving.

Step 3: Cook the Sautéed Vegetables on the Side Burner

1. Sauté the Vegetables: In a separate frying pan on the side burner, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the peppers, courgette and onion. Sauté the vegetables for 5-6 minutes until tender but crisp. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

1. Plating: Place a grilled steak on each plate and pour a generous portion of the mushroom sauce over each steak. Serve with the sautéed vegetables on the side.
2. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with a little more chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.

1. Remove the leaves and the lower stalk from the cauliflower, leaving the central part intact.
