Ingredients

  • 2 (8 ounce) beef sirloin steaks
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 cup brandy
  • 1 onion, minced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 2 tablespoons steak sauce
  • 1 dash Worcestershire sauce
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 (4 ounce) package button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup Dijon mustard, divided
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Method

  • Place the steaks between two sheets of plastic wrap; pound with a kitchen mallet to tenderize.
  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat, and heat until it begins to smoke. Cook the steaks for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until they have browned. Pour brandy over steaks and carefully ignite. Once the flames burn off, remove steaks from the pan and set aside.
  • Cook the onion and garlic in the same skillet over medium heat until they soften. Stir in the red wine, steak sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper; mix well. Mix in the mushrooms, stir, and cook for about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, coat one side of each of the steaks with 2 tablespoons of the Dijon mustard. Gently lay them on top of the sauce in the skillet, mustard-side down. Spread 2 tablespoons on top of the steaks. Cook 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the steaks from the sauce, and keep warm.
  • Stir the cream in to the mushroom sauce and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, return the steaks to the sauce, and simmer for 1 minute more before serving.
