Ingredients
* 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
* 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
* 4 (3/4-inch-thick) flatiron steaks (about 6 oz each)
* 1 (16- to 19-ounce) can black-bean soup
* 4 scallions, chopped (1 cup)
* 1/2 cup water
* 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
* 2 tablespoons Madeira
* 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
* 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
* 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
* 4 (3/4-inch-thick) flatiron steaks (about 6 oz each)
* 1 (16- to 19-ounce) can black-bean soup
* 4 scallions, chopped (1 cup)
* 1/2 cup water
* 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
* 2 tablespoons Madeira
* 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
* 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
Directions
Heat butter and oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until foam subsides. Meanwhile, pat steaks dry and sprinkle both sides with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper (total). Cook steaks, turning once, until browned and medium-rare, 6 to 8 minutes total.
While steaks cook, stir soup in can, then transfer 2/3 cup to a blender (reserve remainder for another use) and blend until very smooth, about 2 minutes.

Stir in blended soup along with remaining ingredients and any juices from meat and bring to a boil. Spoon some of sauce over steaks and serve remainder on the side.
