Steak With Coffee-Mustard Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 Tbsps. salted butter
4 tenderloin, strip, T-bone or Porterhouse steaks, each 1-inch thick
Salt, freshly goround pepper to taste
4 Tsps prepared mustard (French's or Gulden's)

Preparation

In heavy skillet large enough to hold all steaks, heat butter until it begins to brown. Add steaks and brown on both sides. Reduce heat to medium and cook steaks 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium or 5 to 6 minutes for well done. Season each steak with salt and pepper, and then spread the top of each steak with 1 teaspoon mustard. Pour coffee or stock into skillet and bring quickly to a simmer. Using spatula, scrape brown bits from the bottom of skillet. Remove steaks to individual plates. Pour sauce over steaks and serve. This goes will with twice-baked potatoes, beets and a green salad. I also serve with mushrooms sauted in crushed butter or olive oil, garlic and worcestershire sauce.
