Directions
For the steaks:
In a small bowl, stir together the mustard powder, oregano, chili powder, salt and pepper; set aside. Rub each of the steaks with the cut sides of the garlic halves, pressing the garlic hard into the bone to get the garlic juices flowing. Pat both sides of the steak with the spice mixture.

For the sauté:
Add oil to a medium sized saute pan over medium heat. Add onions, fennel and red bell pepper and sauté until tender. Season with salt, pepper and stir in the basil before serving with steaks.
