Tips & Substitutions
For a more flavorful steak, marinate it in the prepared mustard for a few hours before cooking. If you prefer a thicker gravy, reduce the amount of water added to the mushroom soup. You can substitute the mushroom soup with homemade cream of mushroom if desired. For a different flavor profile, consider adding garlic or herbs like thyme or rosemary during the simmering process.
Serving Suggestions
