1/3 cup Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Whisk the maple syrup and Dijon mustard together in a small bowl until smooth.

Notes
Add crushed garlic cloves or a sprig of rosemary for extra flavor.
For a spicier version, include whole-grain mustard or chili flakes.
To thicken the sauce, simmer the juices on the stove after removing the beef.
