Pepper Crusted Beef Bacon And Arugula Sandwiches With Spicy Mustard Recipes

PEPPER-CRUSTED BEEF, BACON, AND ARUGULA SANDWICHES WITH SPICY MUSTARD

Steps:

• Coat steaks all over with pepper. Mix mayonnaise, mustard, and horseradish in small bowl for dressing. Cover steaks and dressing separately and refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day.
• Toss thinly sliced mushrooms and lemon juice in medium bowl to coat evenly. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Brush heavy large skillet generously with oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add steaks and cook to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to plate; let stand 15 minutes. Cook bacon in same skillet over medium-high heat until brown and crisp. Using tongs, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain.
• Place roll bottoms on plates; spread with dressing. Slice steaks thinly and divide among rolls. Top with bacon, mushrooms, and arugula. Cover sandwiches with roll tops and serve.

ROASTED RED PEPPER, BABY ARUGULA, & GOAT CHEESE SANDWICHES WITH OPTIONAL BACON

Steps:

• Slice the ciabatta bread in half lengthwise and then cut about a five-inch hunk of bread for each sandwich. Lay sandwich inside-up and begin layering.
• First, add a couple of layers of the roasted red peppers. Sprinkle lightly with kosher salt. I add a little more salt for the veggie sandwich, and just a tad for the carnivore's sandwich because it will have the natural saltiness of bacon, too. Pile a handful of arugula onto each sandwich, then crumble the goat cheese onto the arugula, dividing evenly between the two sandwiches. Lay the bacon on top, if using. Drizzle a teaspoon or so of the olive oil from the roasted red peppers onto the top of the whole thing and lightly dust with black pepper.
• Close up those sandwiches, slice in half, and serve!

CHICKEN, ARUGULA AND RED BELL PEPPER SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Mix first 3 ingredients in small bowl. Mix in chopped arugula. Season arugula mayonnaise generously with ground pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
• Char peppers over gas flame or in broiler until blackened on all sides. Place in bag; let stand 10 minutes. Peel and seed bell peppers. Cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Brush skillet with 1 teaspoon oil. Add chicken; sauté until just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to plate; cool. Cut into diagonal slices.
• Spread generous 2 teaspoons arugula mayonnaise on each cut side of bread. Cover bottom of bread pieces generously with arugula. Top with sliced chicken, dividing equally. Top with bell pepper strips and generous amount of arugula. Cover with bread tops. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Wrap in plastic and chill.)

BEEF TENDERLOIN SANDWICHES WITH SPICY MUSTARD

Steps:

• Coat steaks all over with peppercorns. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours.
• Mix mayonnaise, mustard, and horseradish together in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate with steaks.
• When ready to cook, toss mushrooms and lemon juice together in a medium bowl until mushrooms are evenly coated. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
• Generously brush a large, heavy skillet with oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add steaks and cook to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Transfer steaks to a plate and let stand for 15 minutes before slicing thinly.
• After the steaks have sat for about 5 minutes, place bacon in the same skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until brown and crisp, about 10 minutes. Use tongs to transfer bacon to paper towels to drain.
• Place roll bottoms on plates. Spread with mustard dressing. Divide sliced steak among rolls. Top with bacon, mushrooms, and arugula, then cover sandwiches with roll tops.

PARMESAN HERB-CRUSTED BEEF WITH LEMONY ARUGULA

Steps:

• Cook the steaks: Combine the breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, and parsley in a bowl.
• Put the flour in another bowl, and beat eggs in a third bowl. Set the three bowls side by side, flour, eggs, breadcrumbs.
• Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Lightly coat both sides with the flour and dredge steaks first in the egg and then in the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat this with all steaks.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add 2 tablespoons of the oil and cook half of the steaks in a single layer for 2 minutes on each side. Repeat with the remaining oil and steaks. Set aside on a plate tented with kitchen foil and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Make the arugula salad: In a bowl, toss together ingredients for arugula salad.
• To serve: Top each steak with arugula salad.

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM SANDWICHES WITH ARUGULA AND BACON

Steps:

• Start a charcoal grill. Lightly brush the bread slices with 1 teaspoon of garlic or olive oil and brush the mushrooms with the rest. Grill the bread until toasted, about 1 minute per side. Grill the mushrooms until tender, about 4 minutes per side. Let cool. Slice into 1-inch-thick strips.
• In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Add the arugula and toss to coat. Divide half the arugula on half the bread. Top each with 1 slice of bacon, the remaining arugula and the remaining bread. Serve immediately.

HERB & PEPPER CRUSTED RIB OF BEEF

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Mix the rock salt, peppercorns, garlic, rosemary, parsley and olive oil. Rub this mixture all over the beef rib then place in a roasting tin. Put in the oven and cook for 30 mins, then turn the oven down to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and cook for a further 1 hr 20 mins. Remove from the oven, transfer the beef to a board, cover with tin foil and rest for 30 mins before carving.
• While the beef rests, make the gravy. Pour off all but 2 tbsp of fat from the roasting tin and reserve any juices. Fry the onions in the roasting tin over a medium heat for about 10 mins, then add the wine, stock and reserved juices. Keep cooking for a further 10 mins to reduce to a thick sauce, season well and serve alongside the roast beef.
