Sauces for Pan-Seared Steak

Mustard Pan Sauce

1/4 c. stock or broth (vegetable or chicken) 1/4 c. full-bodied red wine
1 t. Dijon mustard 1 T. butter

Horseradish Pan Sauce

1/4 c. stock or broth (vegetable or chicken) 1/4 c. dry vermouth or white wine
1 T. prepared horseradish 1 T. butter
  1. To the drippings in the skillet, add the broth, the wine, and the pungent ingredient and boil over medium-high heat until the liquid is reduced to about 1/4 cup. Carefully tilt the skillet so the reduced liquid collects at 1 side of the pan.

  2. Whisk in the butter until the sauce is smooth and glossy. Spoon a little of the sauce over each steak and serve immediately.

4 servings
