Creamy Mustard Beef Steaks – My Weeknight Favorite 🇵🇹

Ingredients

• 2 beef steaks (your preferred cut, around 150–200 g each)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 tsp mustard (I use Dijon, but grainy works too)
• 1 tbsp heavy cream (or plant-based cream if preferred)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

• 1. Cook the steaks.
• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steaks with salt and pepper, then sear them for 2–3 minutes per side (depending on how you like them). Remove and keep warm.
• 2. Make the sauce.
• In the same pan, lower the heat and add the chopped onion. Sauté for a couple of minutes until soft. Stir in the mustard and cream, and mix well until it becomes a silky sauce.
• 3. Finish the dish.
• Return the steaks to the pan and let them sit in the sauce for a minute or two, just enough to warm through and coat them.
• 4. Serve.
• Plate the steaks and pour over the mustard sauce. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if you're feeling fancy. I like serving this with mashed potatoes or a crisp green salad.
• 💡 Tip: You can also deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine or veggie broth before adding the cream for extra depth.
