For the mushy peas: In a medium saucepan, heat the butter and cream and add in the McCain Garden Peas, mint and seasoning. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes. Using a stick blender, roughly blend the peas until slightly pureed. Cover and set aside.
For the sauce: In a large saucepan, heat the butter, truffle oil and sauté garlic. Add in mushrooms and sauté until golden with fresh thyme - cook mushrooms in batches to allow even cooking. Add in the brandy and flambé. Reduce heat and add in cream. Allow sauce to reduce, adjust seasoning and add fresh lemon juice to taste.
Meanwhile, season steaks with salt and pepper. Heat a griddle pan and cook steaks according to customers chosen doneness.
Deep fry the McCain Rustic Chips until crispy and season with salt and black pepper.
