Steak Dianna

1 1/2 pounds round steak, pounded to 1/4-inch thickness
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
3 shallots, minced
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup beef broth
3 tablespoons Madeira wine
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon butter
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

1. Season steaks with salt and pepper. Heat butter with oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steaks and sear 2 minutes per side (for medium-rare); transfer to a serving platter and cover with foil to keep warm.
2. Add a tablespoon butter to the pan. Add shallots and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in Dijon mustard, Worcestershire and broth. Stir to remove any browned bits stuck to the pan. Add wine, lemon juice and parsley; stir well. Remove from heat and swirl in remaining butter. Adjust seasoning and pour over steaks.

Makes 6 servings.
