Pour brandy with red wine and continue cooking for about 5 minutes. Add demi glace and gently bring to the boil, pour cream and simmer until sauce is at your desired thickness. Check for seasoning.

6. Put the rested steaks on warm plates and arrange some of the chips stack to the side. Garnish with the portobello mushroom and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle over the steaks pepper sauce and serve straight away.
