Grilled Mustard and Pepper-crusted Steaks Yield: 6 servings
1/2 cup vegetable oil 1/2 cup dry red wine 2 shallots, minced 1 small clove garlic, minced 1/4 cup grainy mustard 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 tablespoons coarsely cracked peppercorns 1 teaspoon dried thyme Salt and hot red pepper sauce to taste 6 steaks, such as strip or rib-eye
Combine wine, oil, shallots, garlic, 2 teaspoons of the mustard, the Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of the peppercorns, thyme and salt in a blender or food processor; mix well. Transfer to a glass baking dish and add steaks, turning several times so they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight, turning several times.
Prepare a medium-hot charcoal fire. Combine remaining mustard and hot pepper sauce in a small dish.
Remove steaks from marinade; pat dry. Spread a thin layer of mustard mixture over one side of each steak and add some of the remaining pepper. Place on grill, mustard-side down. Brush remaining mustard over and sprinkle with pepper. Grill, about 6 inches from coals, turning once, until cooked as desired, 8 to 12 minutes total for medium-rare.
