Instructions
Sprinkle steaks with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray.
Add steaks to pan; cook 4 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness.
Add butter and mustard seeds to pan. When mustard seeds begin to pop, add leek to pan; cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add wine; cook 1 minute or until liquid evaporates, stirring constantly.
Add stock and Worcestershire sauce to pan; cook 4 minutes or until leek is tender.
Add remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and chard; cook 2 minutes or until chard is wilted, stirring occasionally.
Serve chard mixture with the steaks.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir
Steak can be paired with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir. After all, beef and red wine are a classic combination. Generally, leaner steaks go well with light or medium-bodied reds, such as pinot noir or merlot, while fattier steaks can handle a bold red, such as cabernet sauvingnon. The Raymond R Collection Merlot with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 12 dollars per bottle.

Raymond R Collection Merlot
The Merlot fills the mouth with smooth cherry, raspberry and plum flavors along with hints of earth and spice in the toasty vanilla finish. Full-bodied, yet approachable, with a good balance of acid and tannins. Pair with anything from grilled salmon, pork tenderloin, barbequed chicken and ribs to Thai red curry or Moroccan tagine.
