- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
1. Prepare the Steak:
- Let steaks come to room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking. Pat them dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and allow it to get hot.
