Honey Mustard Steaks

I was inspired by this recipe from Sugar N Spice Gals.  I wanted to make this, but discovered that I did not have any pork chops.  I did, however, have an abundance of beef steaks.  One of the benefits of buying a cow from a local farm instead of getting meat at the market ... you get steaks for the price of hamburger!

Ingredients:

• 4 beef steaks of your choice (I used porterhouse)
• 1 T butter
• 1 T olive or grapeseed oil
• 1 c thinly sliced onions
• 4 to 5 cloves of sliced garlic
• 1/2 c roughly chopped mushrooms
• 1/3 c honey
• 2 T mustard (yellow or brown for a bit more heat)
• 1 T worcestershire sauce
• A handful of fresh chopped parsley
• Salt and pepper to taste

Make It:

1. Salt and pepper your steaks and sear them for a few minutes on each side.
2. In a large skillet, heat the oil and butter over medium to medium low heat.  Add onions and saute for about 3 minutes.
3. Add garlic and saute for another couple of minutes.  Then add the mushrooms.  Saute the veggies until your onions are translucent.
4. Stir the honey, mustard and worcestershire into the veggies.  
5. Add steaks to the skillet mixture and simmer until they reach your desired doneness.
6. Add the parsley at the last minute.  Top each steak with a bit of the veggies when you serve them.
