1
Trim off all peripheral fat from the steaks.
2
Sprinkle the steaks on both sides with salt and a generous grinding of black pepper.
3
Put the butter in the container of a food processor or electric blender and add the mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, shallots, parsley, salt and pepper.
4
Blend thoroughly.
5
Heat a heavy skillet (preferably black iron) until it is almost smoking.
6
Add one steak at a time and cook until almost blackened on one side, about 2 to 3 minutes.
7
Turn and cook on the other side about 2 to 3 minutes.
8
If your stove has a ventilating fan, it is best to turn it on because the steaks will smoke.
9
When each steak is done, transfer it to a warm serving dish and spoon butter mixture all over the top.
10
Continue cooking until all the steaks are done.
11
Garnish each serving with a portion of the sauteed potatoes with parsley.
