  Mustard and Herb Steak (from Anne Desjardins, chef of L'Eau a la Bouche in Sainte-Adele, Quebec)
  - 4 x 285 g (10 oz.) portions of boneless strip loin (beef or bison)
  - course sea salt and freshly ground pepper
  Marinade:
  - 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
  - 5 Tbsp. strong Dijon mustard
  - 1 tsp. balsamic vinegar
  - 2 tsp. herbes de Provence
  - 1/2 tsp. salt
  Combine marinade ingredients. Brush half of this mixture onto both sides of the meat at least one hour prior to cooking. Sear on both sides over high heat (or hot embers). Continue cooking over medium flame, using the rest of the mixture to brush on the steaks. Cook meat according to preferred doneness, remove from grill, and set aside for a few minutes before serving. Sprinkle sea salt and pepper to taste.
