1-1/2 lb sirloin steak
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground pepper
1 Tbl chopped chives
1 Tbl lemon juice
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
3 Tbl heated cognac
2 Tbl olive oil

Preheat the oil 5 minutes at 375 degrees.

Meanwhile, wipe 1/2-inch thick steak with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Mix dry mustard, salt and pepper. Sprinkle over one side of the steak and rub in.

Brown the steak in hot oil, about 1-1/2 minutes on each side. Sprinkle with chives, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce. At table side, pour the heated cognac over the steak and ignite. When the flame goes out, transfer the steak to a serving platter. Spoon pan juices over the meat and serve.

Serves 4.
