2 boneless beef top loin steaks (1 inch thick, about 1 1/4 lbs)
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Sauce:
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/2 pound small mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
1 tablespoon brandy
1/4 cup half and half
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot.  Add mushrooms and shallots; cook and stir 3 minutes or until tender.  Remove.

Wipe skillet out with a paper towel.  Spray with non-stick cooking spray.  Heat over medium heat.  Combine lemon peel and pepper; press onto beef steaks.  Place steaks in skillet; cook 12-15 minutes, while turning for medium rare.   Remove and keep warm.

Add brandy to the skillet; cook and stir to deglaze the pan.  Stir in half and half, lemon juice, mustard and Worcestershire sauce.  Stir in mushroom mixture; heat through.
