Method
 

  1. Pat the beef shoulder steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with coarse salt and black pepper.
  2. Wash the mustard greens and trim any thick stems. Set aside.
  3. In a small bowl mix Dijon mustard with fresh lemon juice to create a simple sauce.

  6. Transfer the steaks to a plate to rest while keeping the skillet warm.
  7. Add butter and sliced garlic to the skillet and cook briefly until fragrant.
  8. Add mustard greens and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly charred but still bright.

  10. Serve the sliced beef with grilled mustard greens and drizzle with the mustard lemon sauce.

Notes

You can swap mustard greens with kale or Swiss chard if preferred. For extra flavor, add sliced onions or a pinch of chili flakes while cooking the greens.
