Brandy & Mustard-Glazed Tenderloin Steaks

Ingredients

  • 4 4-ounce beef tenderloin steaks
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • 1/4 cup minced shallots
  • 1/2 cup fat-free, less-sodium beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons brandy

Preparation

Step 1

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle both sides of steaks evenly with salt and pepper. Add steaks to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove steaks from pan; keep warm.

Melt butter in pan. Add shallots to pan; cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add broth and mustard to pan; cook 1 minute or until sauce thickens, stirring occasionally. Stir in brandy. Return steaks to pan, and cook 1 minute on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Serve sauce with steaks.

Note:
Place fresh broccoli florets in a bowl with a small amount of water. Microwave three minutes or until crisp-tender; garnish with grated lemon rind, if desired.
