Steps:
- Rinse mussels under cold running water. If you see hairy clumps around the shell (called beards), use a sharp knife or your fingers to pull them off, then scrub shells well with a vegetable brush.
- In a soup pot with a tight-fitting cover, heat olive oil, then add thyme, garlic, shallots and a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté until shallots and garlic are softened, 3 minutes. Pour in ale and bring to a simmer. Add mussels and cover pot. Let mussels steam, stirring once or twice, until they open, 5 to 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer mussels to bowls. Discard any that have not opened.
- Add butter, herbs and mustard to pan juices and bring to a boil. Whisk until butter melts, then taste and correct seasonings (add more butter if liquid tastes bitter). Pour over mussels and serve with bread for sopping up juices.

Tips:
- Select the freshest mussels possible. Look for mussels that are tightly closed and have no cracks or damage to the shells.
- Clean the mussels thoroughly before cooking. Use a stiff brush to remove any dirt or debris from the shells. Rinse the mussels under cold water and discard any that are open or do not close when tapped.
- Use a large pot for steaming the mussels. This will allow the mussels to steam evenly and prevent them from overcrowding.
- Add plenty of liquid to the pot. The liquid will help to create steam and cook the mussels. You can use water, white wine, or a combination of both.
- Season the liquid with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings. This will help to flavor the mussels.
- Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and steam the mussels for 5-7 minutes, or until they are all open.
- Discard any mussels that do not open after steaming. These mussels are not safe to eat.
- Serve the mussels immediately. They can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as melted butter, garlic butter, or white wine sauce.
Conclusion:
Steamed mussels are a delicious and easy-to-prepare seafood dish. By following these tips, you can ensure that your steamed mussels turn out perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give steamed mussels a try.
