2. 2
   Sprinkle on both sides with salt and pepper.

6. 6
   Turn and cook on the other side about 45 seconds.

   As the meat cooks, run a spatula or pancake turner under the pieces to prevent sticking.

   To prepare the sauce, combine the butter mustard, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, salt and pepper and beat to blend with a wire whisk.
