For the Fennel and Mustard Butter::
In a small bowl mix all the ingredients together. Roll the butter in baking parchment, to form two cylinders, about the width of a ten pence piece. Roll up in the parchment and refrigerate until required.
To serve:
Preheat the grill to moderate.
Season the steaks and top with a little butter.
Grill for 12 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked to requirement. Cut a disc of butter and put on top of the steak. Flash under the grill, just to melt the edges.
Serve the steaks with any meat juices from the grill pan, the butter, mashed potato and seasonal vegetables.
Tip:
Wrap any leftover butter in cling film and freeze for up to 2 months.
