Ginger Mustard Glazed Steak Food

GRILLED PORK STEAK WITH MUSTARD GLAZE

Steps:

• Light the grill: Place a chimney starter on the grate of a charcoal grill. Add newspaper in the bottom, then fill with charcoal. Light the newspaper, which will in turn light the charcoal. When the charcoal is mature with ashed-over gray embers (about 30-45 minutes later), remove the chimney and pour the charcoal into the grill. Using oven mitts, replace the grill rack.
• Season the pork: Set the pork on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Brush with mustard, then season with pepper and several generous pinches of salt. Flip the meat, press down so it absorbs the seasonings, and repeat on the other side. Sprinkle fennel pollen over the meat on both sides and set aside.
• Grill: Cut the melon in half, scoop out the seeds, and cut into 7 or 8 wedges. Place on the outer edges of the grill, where the heat is indirect, and cook 4-6 minutes, turning halfway through. Lay the pork steaks in the middle of the grill over the hotter, direct heat. Place foil-wrapped bricks on top of the pork to keep the meat's edges from curling. Remove every 2 minutes to flip the meat, then replace bricks. If the meat flares up, move it to another spot on the grill. Halfway through grilling (which will take a total of about 6-10 minutes), baste the pork on both sides with the butter mop, and sprinkle with sugar to aid the caramelization. When the melon and the pork are both nicely charred, switch their locations on the grill: move the pork to the cooler edge of the grill and the melon to the hot center for about a minute, to warm through. Meanwhile, cut the radishes into large slices and set aside.
• Finish the dish and assemble: Grill the pickled garlic scapes for 1-2 minutes. On a serving platter or wooden board, plate the pork steaks, melon, charred garlic scapes, and radishes. Sprinkle everything with fresh lemon juice, a pinch of fennel pollen, and salt. Drizzle olive oil over the melon and scatter torn squash blossoms just before serving.
• For the garlic confit, preheat oven to 300 degrees F. In a small saucepan, add the garlic cloves, olive oil, lemon peel, and bay leaf. Cover and bake 1-1½ hours, until the garlic is tender and golden. For the butter mop, heat a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add half the garlic confit (the remainder will last, refrigerated, up to two weeks); break it up and let it sizzle, 2-3 minutes. Add the vinegar and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture becomes a thick paste. Add butter, 2 tablespoons at a time, whisking with each addition. Bring the butter to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Whisk in the mustard and black pepper, and set aside until it's time to baste.
• Place 10 garlic scapes in a jar. Combine the rest of the ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil; pour the liquid over the scapes to scald them. Seal the jar and place in a cool, dark place for 10 days to ferment.

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.

GINGER-MUSTARD GLAZED STEAK

Steps:

• Trim fat from steak and score diagonal lines on both sides of steak (Be careful not to cut all the ways through).
• Mix garlic, mustard, ginger, and soy sauce.
• Spread on both sides of the steak and marinate at least 1 hour.
• Grill steaks, basting with remaining sauce (I use my George Foreman grill).

SUPER SOY-MUSTARD GLAZE FOR STEAKS

Steps:

• Combine marinade ingredients in a small bowl and mix well, (OR in a blender, cover and whirl until smooth).
• Brush both sides of steaks with marinade mixture.
• Reserve left-over marinade.
• (If you have time, let the steaks sit for 20-30 minutes to soak in a little flavor.).
• Grill or broil 4 minutes, turn over and brush with remaining sauce mixture.
• Cook 4 minutes longer (for medium-rare), or to desired doneness.

STEM GINGER & MUSTARD GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Put the gammon in a deep saucepan (if tied, leave it as is). Pour over the ginger beer and add the onion, clementine halves, 5 cloves and 3 bay leaves. Top up the saucepan with enough water to just cover the gammon. Bring to a gentle bubble, cover with foil and cook for 2 hrs, topping up with more water while cooking if you need to.
• Remove the ham from its cooking liquid using large tongs and leave to cool for 10 mins until cool enough to handle.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Carefully cut off the rind, leaving a thin layer of fat on the ham. Score a diamond pattern all over the fat. Put the gammon in a roasting tin. Mix the mustard and ginger syrup, then paint about half of the mixture over the ham. Stuff the stem ginger slices into the crevices of the scored fat and stud with the remaining cloves.
• Bake for 20 mins, then paint with the remaining glaze. Bake for 1 hr more until burnished and bronzed. Cover with foil during cooking if the glaze starts to catch. Cut some clementines into thick slices and roast them while you glaze the ham, then use to decorate the plate, if you like. Serve the ham warm or cold. Will keep in the fridge for five days.

BRANDY AND MUSTARD-GLAZED TENDERLOIN STEAKS

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Sprinkle both sides of steaks evenly with salt and pepper. Add steaks to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove steaks from pan; keep warm.
• Melt butter in pan. Add shallots to pan; cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add broth and mustard to pan; cook 1 minute or until sauce thickens, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in brandy. Return steaks to pan, and cook 1 minute on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Serve sauce with steaks.

HONEY & MUSTARD STEAK WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Rub each steak with mustard and drizzle with the honey. Season to taste. Melt half the butter in a large frying pan. Once it starts to foam, fry the steaks to your liking, 2 mins each side for medium rare or 2½ mins each side for medium. Remove from the pan and keep warm.
• Melt the remaining butter, tip in the chestnut mushrooms and boiled potatoes, then cook for 3 mins, stirring them around the pan to absorb all of the juices. Serve the potatoes and mushrooms with the steak, and a side salad if you like.

BROILED HAM STEAK WITH MUSTARD GLAZE

Steps:

• Place ham in shallow pan.
• Combine mustard with brown sugar and vinegar; spread over ham.
• Broil ham under moderate heat until slightly browned; turn, baste with pan drippings and broil til lighlty browned.
