Steak a La Moutarde (Steak With Mustard Cream Sauce)

Submitted by LucyS-D

"Mustard is not just for hot dogs anymore. This steak is fast and easy to prepare and would go well with most any side dish. Once the mustard has been added, do not allow to boil or the sauce will become unpleasant."

Yum!! Maybe not a new idea, but this worked well for me, having run out of enthusiasm for nightly dinners! I did halve your recipe, as we are only 2, and I rubbed the steak with an impressive mixture of herbs, crushed coriander and bound with a little olive oil, and left it for hours in the fridge. Note that any steak should be at room temperature before being put into a smoking-hot pan (I use a griddled pan). About 2 - 3 minutes a side (the chefs say don't keep turning it), then "rest" it -- I let mine rest in a warming oven -- and over goes your sauce. Delicious!! I did not have shallots and used chopped onions, which look like mushrooms in the photos!! :-) Thanks!!

This was very good. The family loved it. I followed the recipe except that I did add a tbs of worcestier sauce. Thanks for the recipe.

Very similar to a dish I've been making for over ten years - - - one that's always a hit with husband & dinner guests. In my version, I use filet mignon instead of sirloin, thinly sliced white onion instead of shallots, olive oil instead of vegetable oil, 1/2 to 3/4 cup non-fat half & half instead of cream, a tablespoon of country ground mustard in addition to the Dijon, & add two cups of fresh sliced mushrooms cooked separately in chicken broth to the sauce. My husband loves this dish, especially when served with diced potatoes cooked in chicken broth with minced garlic.
