  5. Step 5

    Cook for about three minutes or until the wine has reduced by about half.
  6. Step 6

    Remove from the heat and stir in the mustard and chopped parsley.
  7. Step 7

    Whisk in the butter one tablespoon at a time. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  8. Step 8

    Return the meat to the pan to warm through in the sauce before serving.
