Steak Diane

Directions

1. 1
   Salt and pepper both sides of the steaks.
2. 2
   Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large heavy skillet. Once up to temperature add mustard and shallots and saute over medium heat for 1 minute.
3. 3
   Melt 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet and cook the steaks over high heat for 1 minute to seal the steaks, turning only once. Cook a further 1-4 minutes on each side depending how you like your steak cooked (2 minutes for Medium Rare) Remove meat to serving platter and keep warm.
4. 4
   To the pan drippings add 1 tablespoon butter, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and chives; cook for 1 minute. At this time if you so wish canned mushrooms can be added. A option for a splash of brandy at this time is used in many recipes, however I find that it really does not add to the flavor.
5. 5
   Add steaks back to the pan for 1 minute to add heat to the steaks.
6. 6
   Serve steaks with the sauce on top and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top.
7. 7
   Serve immediately.
