- Spread both sides of the steaks with mustard and sprinkle with Worcestershire sauce.

- Cook over high heat, stirring until the mixture is reduced by half.
- Return the steaks to the frying pan and heat through for about 1 to 2 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more tender steak, marinate the sirloin in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and rosemary for a couple of hours before cooking. If you don't have brandy, white wine or sherry can be good substitutes. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan when browning the steaks to achieve a nice sear. For an easy side, consider pairing this with Baked Fillets Or Steaks.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Company Steak with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. Mashed potatoes or rice can also complement the rich sauce beautifully. This dish pairs wonderfully with a robust red wine or a light beer for a casual dinner. Consider serving with Filet Mignon With Sautéed Onions for a steak night theme.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, allow the steak to cool completely before placing it in an airtight container. It can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. When reheating, use a skillet over low heat to warm the steak gently, adding a splash of beef broth to keep it moist and flavorful.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?
Yes, you can use other cuts like ribeye or flank steak. Just adjust the cooking time as needed, since different cuts may vary in thickness and tenderness. It's important to pound the meat to ensure even cooking regardless of the cut you choose.
How do I know when the steak is done cooking?
For medium-rare, cook the steak until it reaches an internal temperature of 130-135°F. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy. Remember that the steak will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the heat, so it's best to take it off the stove just before it reaches your desired doneness.
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
While it's best served fresh, you can prepare the sauce ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat it gently before adding the cooked steak to warm through. This will save time on busy nights while still delivering great flavor.
