Lightly roast the almonds without fat until they begin to brown, then finely chop. Finely dice the figs and thinly slice the precooked chestnuts. Mix everything together and lightly fry in a pan with butter. Sprinkle with sugar and let it caramelize. Spread the mixture on the steaks. Braise in a hot oven at 160°C (top/bottom heat) for about 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the steaks.
