½ tsp mild curry powder
2 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp finely chopped chives

To make anchovy herb butter, combine ingredients in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. To make celeriac puree, steam celeriac and potato in a steamer over a saucepan of boiling water until tender. Transfer celeriac to a medium saucepan. Add butter and verjuice. Using a stick blender, process until smooth. Add potato. Pulse briefly. (Do not over-mix or potato will become starchy.) Place over a medium heat. Add cream. Stir puree until heated through. Sprinkle with a pinch of nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, heat a large chargrill pan over a high heat. Drizzle steaks with 1 tablespoon of the oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook steaks for 4 to 5 minutes on each side for medium. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
Drizzle mushrooms with remaining oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook mushrooms for 3 minutes on each side, or until golden and tender.
Cut steaks into thick slices. Divide steak and mushrooms among four plates. Top with anchovy herb butter. Serve with celeriac puree and beans.
