Preparation

Step 1

1 Heat oven to broil.
2 Whisk together garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, ground mustard, salt and pepper in a small mixing bowl.
4 Line a broiler pan with foil and place steak on top.
Coat evenly with mustard mixture and let stand 10 minutes.
5 Broil steak to desired doneness, 4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
6 Let stand 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Let the meat rest after cooking and slice it as thinly as possible for maximum tenderness.

While the steak was marinating with the mustard coating I started the next recipe, a side dish of “Stuffed Baked Tomatoes”(p.272). Again, the recipe was simple, didn’t include too many ingredients and was very fast to assemble.

Also pictured is a side dish not from the cookbook. I like to take some baby spinach and saute it in olive oil, soy sauce and garlic. The flavor is intense and stands up well to the natural strong flavor of spinach. I use about a tablespoon of olive oil, two tablespoons of soy sauce, and one teaspoon of minced garlic. I saute heat that in a large skillet and add several cups of fresh baby spinach leaves. It only takes a few minutes to cook down.
