Recipe Introduction
Any tender beefsteak can be used in this recipe. For the best flavor and most mustard coating per bite, the steaks should be no less than 3/4 inch thick. Jars containing a mixture of green, black and white peppercorns are available in the spice section of many markets.
1 oz. dried porcini or shiitake mushrooms
(about 1 cup)
2 teaspoons multicolored peppercorns
2 teaspoons whole mustard seeds
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt, divided
4 boneless New York strip steaks (3/4 inch
thick)*
3 tablespoons butter, divided
1/4 cup chopped shallots
1/4 cup red wine or mushroom soaking liquid
1 tablespoon coarse-grain Dijon mustard
1. Place mushrooms in small bowl with enough boiling water to cover; let stand 20 to 30 minutes or until softened. Drain well, reserving 1/4 cup liquid. (If using mushroom liquid in place of wine, reserve 1/2 cup liquid.) If using shiitakes, remove and discard stems.
2. Place peppercorns in heavy-duty plastic bag; coarsely crush with flat side of meat mallet. Add mustard seeds; crush slightly. Mix in 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Firmly press peppercorn mixture onto both sides of steaks.
3. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steaks 5 to 7 minutes for medium-rare, turning once. Place on serving platter; cover loosely with foil.
4. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in same skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir shallots 1 minute. Add mushrooms; cook and stir 1 minute. Add wine, 1/4 cup reserved mushroom liquid, mustard and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until liquid is slightly reduced, stirring frequently. Add any juices from steaks. If necessary, return steaks to skillet 1 to 2 minutes to reheat.
TIP *New York strip steaks are also called loin, Kansas City or strip steaks.
