Preheat grill or oven broiler to medium-high. Season steak generously with salt and pepper. Cook 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare. Put aside, loosely cover with foil and let rest.
In a medium-sized sauté pan over medium heat, cook shallots in butter until soft but not coloured. Sprinkle in mustard seeds and cornstarch. Stir to combine.
Deglaze* with chicken stock (add just enough stock to cover surface of pan) and continue to cook until sauce thickens, stirring occasionally.
Finish sauce with mustard and cream. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Slice steak thinly across the grain and drizzle with warm sauce.
Serve with a favourite sauté, such as mushrooms and onions.
