Preparation

Step 1

1. Trim fat from steak. Let steak stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels. Rub steak all over with garlic, then sprinkle with black pepper and salt.
2. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and crisp. Reserving fat in skillet, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain; crumble when cooled.
3. Add butter to drippings in skillet. Heat over medium-high heat until it sizzles, about 30 seconds. Reduce heat and add steak. Cook, turning once, about 8 - 10 minutes total for medium-rare or until an instant thermometer inserted into thickest parts registers 135 degrees. Transfer steak to a plate and cover to keep warm.
4. Carefully add wine to skillet and increase heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring to scrape up browned bits, until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Stir in mushrooms, bell pepper, Worcestershire, and mustard. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring, until mushrooms are tender, 5 - 6 minutes.
5. Serve steak topped with vegetable mixture, bacon and blue cheese.
