Transfer steaks to a warm plate to rest.

Deglaze pan, stirring up any browned bits with a wooden spoon, and cook until liquid is almost completely reduced, about 45 seconds. Add cream and any juices that have collected from steak; stir to combine. Stir in mustard; heat 15 seconds. Cook until sauce lightly coats the back of a spoon, about 10 seconds. Season with salt and pepper.
