Mustard Crusted Steaks With Herb Butter Recipes

STEAK FRITES WITH HERB MUSTARD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Whisk the mustard and olive oil in a small bowl. Coat the steak with 2 tablespoons of the mustard mixture, then season with black pepper and set aside. Whisk the chives, tarragon and 2 tablespoons cold water into the remaining mustard mixture. Slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick sticks; pat dry. Whisk the egg whites, paprika, cayenne and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl; add the potatoes and toss. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Add the potatoes, letting the excess egg drip off; spread out and spray with cooking spray. Bake until golden brown, 25 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the steak: Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large cast-iron skillet. Heat the pan over high heat until very hot, then add the steak and place another heavy skillet on top to weigh it down. Sear until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Turn off the heat and let the steak rest in the pan, 5 to 8 more minutes for medium rare. Thinly slice against the grain and serve with the fries and herb mustard.

HERB-AND-MUSTARD SIRLOIN WITH BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Pierce the potatoes a few times with a fork, then microwave until soft, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pierce both sides of the steak with a fork. Mix the mustard and herbes de Provence in a bowl and rub all over the steak.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter; as soon as it melts, add the steak and sear on one side until browned, about 7 minutes. Turn and brown the other side, about 4 more minutes for medium-rare. Transfer the steak to a cutting board, season with salt and pepper, and top with 1 tablespoon butter. Let rest at least 5 minutes.
• Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and turn to coat on all sides with the pan juices. Cook until the skins are slightly crisp, about 3 minutes.
• Mix the remaining 3 tablespoons butter with the chives and season with salt. Thinly slice the steak on the bias. Serve with the potatoes, chive butter and mustard.

HERB BUTTER FOR STEAK

Steps:

• Place 7 tablespoons softened, unsalted butter in a small mixing bowl.
• Melt remaining 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir cooked garlic into reserved softened butter.
• Press minced fresh herbs into the garlic-butter mixture using a rubber spatula, stirring and pressing until evenly distributed. Season with sea salt to taste. Cover and refrigerate until slightly firmed up, about 20 minutes.
• Turn mixture out onto a 9x12-inch strip of aluminum foil or parchment paper.
• Form mixture into a log, about 6 inches long and 1 inch thick. Roll herb butter up in the foil or parchment, twisting the ends and closing with a twist tie or rubber band.
• Return to the refrigerator until firmed up, about 40 minutes.
• Slice into 8 equal portions and serve on top of steak or other dishes. Wrap and refrigerate any leftovers up to 4 days.

MUSTARD-CRUSTED STEAKS WITH HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Cut each steak in half. Lightly sprinkle both sides of steaks with salt and pepper.
• In a very large skillet heat 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium-high heat. Add steaks; brown on both sides, cooking until steaks are near desired doneness, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer steaks to a broiler pan; spread tops of steaks with mustard.
• Broil 3-4 inches from the heat for 2-3 minutes or until steaks have reached desired doneness.
• Meanwhile, for herb butter, add remaining butter to skillet; cook over medium heat until butter begins to bubble and turn golden. Add half of the herbs; remove from heat.
• Transfer steaks to plates; pour herb butter over steaks. Sprinkle with remaining herbs.

SHELL STEAKS WITH MUSTARD BUTTER

Steps:

• Trim off all peripheral fat from the steaks. Sprinkle the steaks on both sides with salt and a generous grinding of black pepper.
• Put the butter in the container of a food processor or electric blender and add the mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, shallots, parsley, salt and pepper. Blend thoroughly.
• Heat a heavy skillet (preferably black iron) until it is almost smoking.
• Add one steak at a time and cook until almost blackened on one side, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side about 2 to 3 minutes. If your stove has a ventilating fan, it is best to turn it on because the steaks will smoke. When each steak is done, transfer it to a warm serving dish and spoon butter mixture all over the top.
• Continue cooking until all the steaks are done.
• Garnish each serving with a portion of the sauteed potatoes with parsley.
