Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add steaks, and cook 5-7 minutes on each side or to desired degree of doneness. Remove steaks from pan, and keep warm.

Add garlic, onion, and flour to pan drippings; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until onions and garlic become translucent. Gradually add broth, wine, and bourbon, stirring to loosen particles from bottom; bring to a boil. Stir in mustard, Worcestershire sauce and mushrooms; reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes. Top steaks with sauce. Serves 6
