Other than that I used yellow mustard because that was all we had in the house. The flavor was terrific and the smell of the steak while it was resting just made my mouth water. While you can use any high-quality cut of steak such as filet mignon or NY strip steaks, we suggest using flank steak because of its tenderness, uniform but thin size for speed of cooking, and value for the price.
