About

This mustard-laced sauce is silky smooth, a classic that deserves resurrection. You might use even more butter in this dish, up to 5 tablespoons or so, for extra richness. Use only green peppercorns that have been packed in brine, not the dried kind.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon neutral oil, such as canola or grapeseed

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°F. Put 2 tablespoons of the butter and oil in a large skillet and turn the heat to medium-high. When the butter melts, add the steaks and turn the heat to high. Sear on the first side for about 3 minutes, then turn and sear on the second
