Best Solo Honey Mustard Steak And Pasta Recipes

HONEY-MUSTARD CHICKEN PASTA

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels. Drain, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings. , In the drippings, saute mushrooms and onion until tender. Add garlic; saute for 1 minute. Stir in the chicken, peas, soup, milk, mustard, honey, parsley, salt if desired, pepper and bacon. Cook and stir over medium heat until heated through. Drain pasta; add to skillet and toss to coat. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

PENNE WITH BEEF AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Season the steak with salt and freshly ground black pepper, herbs de Provence, and minced garlic. In a skillet, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Cook steak about 7 minutes per side. Remove the meat from pan and let it rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice the steak. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta, reserving 1/4 cup of pasta water.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, fresh herbs, and 3/4 cup olive oil. In a large bowl toss the pasta with half of the salad dressing and the reserved pasta water. Add the arugula and steak, more dressing, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, as needed. Toss, pack for the picnic, or serve.

MUSTARD STEAK SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk 1/4 cup each whole-grain mustard and olive oil, 3 tablespoons dijon mustard, 1 small minced shallot and 1 tablespoon chopped tarragon in a bowl. Whisk in 2 to 3 tablespoons water and season with salt and pepper. Serve on grilled steak.
• TIP: Switch up the tarragon with whatever herbs you have on hand. This sauce is great as a burger topping, too!

MUSTARD-MARINATED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Place the steak flat in a large nonreactive dish such as glass or porcelain. Using the tip of a sharp knife, lightly score the top of the steak diagonally in a large crisscross pattern to make what looks like 1-inch diamonds across the steak. This allows the marinade to penetrate into the meat.
• In a 2-cup measuring cup, whisk together the wine, olive oil, mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir in the shallots and garlic. Pour the marinade over and under the steak until it's completely coated. Scatter the tarragon on top. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours but preferably overnight.
• Half an hour before serving, remove the steak from the refrigerator and heat a charcoal grill with a layer of hot coals. (You can also set a gas grill on medium-high heat.) Sprinkle the steak with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Grill the steak for about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Place the steak on a clean plate, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Slice the steak thin, cutting diagonally across the grain. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot.

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.
