Ingredients
Instructions

- Broil or grill the steak over high heat for 20 minutes or until desired doneness.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to the marinade. If you prefer a milder sauce, you can substitute half the Dijon mustard with yellow mustard. Fresh herbs can be used instead of dried; just double the quantity. Make sure to let the steak rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain its juices.
Serving Suggestions
This herbed steak pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables or a simple green salad for a fresh contrast. Consider serving it alongside baked potatoes or garlic bread for a heartier meal. It also works well with a glass of red wine to enhance the flavors. For a twist, serve with the remaining mustard sauce drizzled over Light As A Feather Rolls.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, wrap the steak in aluminum foil and warm it in a 300°F oven until heated through. The mustard sauce can also be stored separately and used within a week.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of steak for this recipe?
Absolutely! While this recipe calls for a 2-pound steak, you can use any cut you prefer, such as ribeye, sirloin, or flank steak. Just adjust cooking times based on the thickness of the cut to achieve your desired doneness.
Is there a vegetarian alternative to this recipe?
Yes! You can substitute the steak with portobello mushrooms or thick slices of eggplant. Marinate them in the same mustard sauce for a flavorful dish. Grill or broil until tender for a delicious vegetarian option that still boasts robust flavors.
How spicy is the mustard sauce?
The Dijon mustard gives the sauce a tangy kick, but it's not overwhelmingly spicy. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can mix in some mayonnaise or yogurt to temper the heat. Taste and adjust based on your personal preference.
