Mustard Steak

Brushing the steak with mustard is an interesting technique. It does provide a nice mustard flavor to the meat.

Surprisingly, the steak was tasty and did not taste under seasoned despite the lack of any seasoning added. I was sure that it would need salt and pepper, but it really didn’t.

I cooked the steaks for 10 minutes per side. I honestly think this was too long. I think 6 to 8 minutes for a mid rare steak would have been better. The steaks were closer to mid well. I think people used to think that meat had to be done mid well or it would be dangerous to eat. Thankfully these ideas have changed, but I tried to stay true to the recipe.

My main issue is that I forgot to add the peppers when I served the steak. By the time I remembered the peppers, my husband and daughter were nearly done eating. Big mistake, and I think they would have added a lot of flavor. Honestly though, the steak didn’t need the peppers, so I guess it was okay.

This was a nice simple recipe to make a lovely steak dinner during the week!
