HONEY MUSTARD STEAK

Steps:

• Prepare an outdoor grill with an oiled rack set 6 inches from the coals. On a gas grill, set to medium heat.
• In a small bowl, combine the mustard, apple juice, cinnamon and honey. Brush one side of the steak with the sauce. Grill and turn, adding more sauce.
• Grill to desired doneness: 14 minutes for rare (140 degrees F or 60 degrees C), 20 minutes for medium (160 degrees F or 70 degrees C), or 26 minutes for well done (170 degrees F or 75 degrees C) and serve.

SOLO HONEY MUSTARD STEAK AND PASTA

Steps:

• Cook the pasta in 2 quarts of salted boiling water for about 8 minutes or until done.
• Cover both sides of the steak with the salt and pepper, and just enough of the olive oil to give it a slight shine.
• Pour the rest of the olive oil, mustard and honey into a shallow pasta dish.
• Place the steak in a hot frying pan (I like cast iron) and cook for 3 1/2 minutes per side.
• When the steak is done, set aside to rest and add the mushrooms and liquid to the hot pan and scrape the cooked bits off the bottom.
• Add the drained pasta, stir once, and pour into the dish.
• Slice the steak into thin strips, add to the pasta and toss until everything is coated with the honey mustard mixture.
• Serve with a Green Salad.

STEAKHOUSE PASTA

Steps:

• Brush the grill with vegetable oil and preheat to medium high.
• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. When hot, add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Turn the heat off, then add the brandy. Turn the heat back on and cook until the brandy is reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet with the sugar, crushed red pepper and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt, 1/4 teaspoon each black pepper and lemon pepper and a pinch of kosher salt over one side of the steak.
• Put the steak on the hot grill seasoned-side down and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt, 1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and a pinch salt on the top of the steak and then flip it. Cook it for a further 3 to 4 minutes until medium rare. Remove to a board and rest while the sauce is finished.
• Reduce the heat to low under the sauce. Stir in the fontina and 1 tablespoon of the blue cheese. Stir in the cream and horseradish, then add in a little half-and-half if the sauce is too thick. Cook for a minute or two, tasting and adding more seasonings as needed.
• Meanwhile, cut the steak into 1/2-inch strips.
• At the last minute, add the spinach to the sauce and toss to coat. Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce. Mix everything together.
• Place the steak on top of the pasta. Garnish the dish with basil and the remaining 2 tablespoons blue cheese crumbles. Serve straight from the skillet.

MUSTARD MARINATED STEAK

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and thyme.
• Trim as much fat as possible from steak.
• Place in shallow glass dish, just large enough to hold steak.
• Pour marinade over meat, turning to coat.
• Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hour or overnight, turning occasionally.
• Drain meat.
• Place meat on broiler pan.
• Broil 3 inches from heat for 13 to 17 minutes for medium doness, turning once.
• To serve slice beef thinly across the grain.
• Or BBQ over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes per side for rare.

MUSHROOM PASTA

Steps:

• Begin preparing the sauteed mushrooms as directed. While mushrooms are cooking, bring a large pot of water to a boil for the tagliatelle pasta. When the water has come to a boil, add salt and the pasta.
• While pasta is cooking, add a splash of white wine to the sauteed mushrooms and let simmer for 1 minute. Add cream and grated cheese and bring to a simmer. Remove pan from heat. When pasta has reached desired consistency, add to pan of mushrooms and stir. Serve warm with extra cheese for grating.
