Wild boar tenderloin served with mushrooms in a reduction of red wine
Season your wild boar steaks with salt and pepper and put to one side
Chop the onion finely
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the saute pan and add the chopped onions
Cook over a moderate heat for 8-10 minutes until the onions are translucent and just starting to caramelise at the edges. Add the garlic for the last 2 minutes of cooking
Slice the mushrooms
Add the mushrooms to the saute pan, if necessary in batches so that you are never cooking more than a single layer. Cook till they are soft and starting to go brown at the edge. Stir through the thyme leaves towards the end of cooking and season with salt and pepper.
Once all the mushrooms are cooked, add the red wine and reduce down until it is almost sticky. Keep warm.
Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan and sear the steaks for 30 seconds on both sides over a high temperature
Reduce the temperature a little and cook the steaks for a further 2-3 minutes on each side
Serve the steaks over the mushroom mixture garnished with fresh parsley
