"Excuse me, sir, do you have any Dijon mustard for our steaks?" That's how the old commercial would have gone had they had one bite of this meaty, amazing steak, topped with feisty mustard and crispy panko. The toppings bring a textural and flavor contrast that's pure class and deliciousness, the kind that'll make you roll down your fancy car window to ask for mustard on all your meats from now on.
