To make the sauce, pour the madeira into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Add the demi-glace and reduce by half. Finish with the butter to thicken a little and add truffle slices.
Meanwhile pan fry the brioche in a little butter over a medium heat and put to one side. Using the same pan drizzle in the oil, season the steaks then fry them for 2 minutes. Turn the steaks over, add the butter and cook for a further 2 minutes, then remove and rest.
