Skillet Steak With Tasso Maque Choux And Fried Chanterelles

Ingredients

Prepare the Tasso Maque Choux, and keep warm.
Trim the thinner layer of fat from the edge of the steak, leaving the thicker piece of fat attached, to help the meat keep its shape. Sprinkle the steaks with 2 teaspoons Creole Seasoning, allowing 1/2 teaspoon per steak. Pat on well with the side of a heavy knife or the palm of your hand.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. When the oil is smoking, add the steaks and sautÈ them for about 3 minutes on each side (rare), or 4 minutes on each side (medium rare). Remove from the heat and keep warm.
Start heating the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over high heat.
While the oil is heating, combine the flour with the remaining 1 tablespoon Creole seasoning in a bowl. Dredge the chanterelles in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. When the oil is smoking hot, add the chanterelles and fry until golden brown, for about 1 or 2 minutes. Remove the mushrooms with tongs, drain them on paper towels, and sprinkle them with salt.
To serve, place 1/2 cup of the Tasso Maque Choux in each of 4 dinner plates. Place a steak on each portion of maque choux, and arrange 3 or 4 chanterelles or mushrooms on top.
