Quarter the mushrooms, then pick and finely chop the parsley. Place a frying pan on a high heat so it’s screaming hot. Brush the herbs off the steaks, then place the steaks in the pan, adding a drizzle of olive oil and knob of butter. Cook for 6' in total, completing everything up to the end of step 8 in this time, turning regularly and keeping them moving in the pan, making sure to sear the edges and baste with the juices, as you go. When the butter turns dark golden, and your steak has good colour and character, add the mushrooms and a pinch of salt and pepper, jiggle the pan to keep things moving. Pour in the splash of brandy, tilt the pan to flambé, then when the flames subside, add a swig of red wine and reduce by half. Drizzle in the cream, turning the steaks in the sauce to coat, and keep cooking until the steaks are nicely coated, briefly remove the steaks from the pan at this stage if your sauce is taking a while to reduce to avoid overcooking. Sprinkle over the parsley, add the mustards, then stir through. Slice the steaks in half, place on a warmed plate and drizzle with the sauce, then scatter over the dressed pepper.
