Creamed strips of sirloin

Ingredients

6 tablespoons butter

1 pound sirloin steak -- trimmed and cut into thin strips

6 ounces button mushroom -- sliced

1 teaspoon prepared mustard

pinch freshly grated ginger

2 tablespoons dry sherry

5/8 cup heavy cream

salt and ground black pepper to taste

4 toast slices -- cut into triangles

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Melt the butter in a large

skillet and gently fry the steak over low heat, stirring

frequently for about 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer

the steak to an ovenproof dish and keep warm. Add the sliced

mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes in the

juices remaining in the pan. Add the mustard and pinch of

ginger. Add the salt and pepper to taste. Cook for about 2

minutes, then add the sherry and cream. Cook an additional 3

minutes, then pour the cream sauce over the steak. Bake the

steak and cream mixture in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.

Serve with warm triangles of toast.
