Ingredients
2 x 8oz (2x227g) Fillet Steaks
1 large onion, halved and sliced
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 large courgette, chopped
approx 14 button mushrooms, sliced
80g of wild basmati rice mix
360ml of chicken stock
200ml of chicken stock
1 teaspoon of mustard
45g of Philadelphia Extra Light
Salt and Black Pepper
Frylight/Pam Spray
Freshly chopped Italian Parsley
Method
Spray a saucepan with some Frylight and Pam spray. Add the onion and 1 clove of garlic and cook for approx 5 mins until softened.
Add the courgette and cook for a further 2-3 mins.
Add wild rice mix and stir. Pour in 360ml of chicken stock
Bring to the boil and then cover and simmer on a low heat until all stock has been absorbed. Remove from heat and set aside still covered while you cook the mushrooms and steak.
Season both fillet steaks well with salt and pepper and cook to your preference on a grill pan or George Foreman grill.
For the garlic mushroom sauce: Spray a frying pan with some Frylight/Pam spray, add garlic
Add the mushrooms and small onion.
Add a little bit of the 200ml of stock at a time (save about 50ml of the stock to make the sauce) and cook the mushrooms/onion until golden.
To the 50ml of stock, add the extra light Philadelphia and mustard and whisk until smooth.
Pour over the mushrooms and simmer on a low heat until sauce thickens, top with some freshly chopped Italian parsley.
Serve your steaks with the Courgette Wild Rice Pilaf and Creamy Garlic Mushrooms.
Enjoy!!

I love wild rice, have you tried the red rice? That is similar in texture and taste too.

no, I havent been able to find any red rice yet. The wild and whole wheat rice mix I used was really yummy. It was this one:

could you use quark instead of Philadelphia?
Siobhan (Slimming Eats) says
yes you could use quark. I just prefer the creaminess of the Philadelphia
sammie86 says
You could use mustard powder instead too so quark fat free and powder no extra syns 🙂
Selina Taylor says
Had this tonight with normal rice and using mustard powder, oh my gosh it is amazing! One of the best SW recipes I've tried to date 😀 thank you!!! Xxx
Teresa Howells says
Can the mushroom sauce be frozen? I have mushrooms that need using up but have other meals planned for today.
Shevy (Slimming Eats) says
Hi Teresa, I haven't tried so I couldn't say for sure, you may need to add a little water or stock when reheating.

IS there an option anywhere to print this recipe? I can't find it 🙂
