Mustard Rub Food

BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• For the rub: The day before cooking, mix the turbinado sugar, salt, paprika, chili powder, granulated garlic, onion powder, ground cumin, ground mustard, cayenne pepper and black pepper together.
• For the ribs: Take a slab of ribs and turn over so the curved side is up. Using your fingernail or a knife, pry under the membrane until you can put your finger under it and then pull it off.
• Sprinkle this side of the ribs with about 1 tablespoon rub, and then about 1 tablespoon yellow mustard. Use the mustard to help evenly distribute the seasoning. Turn the ribs over and repeat the process. Cover and store in the refrigerator overnight.
• To cook, start a smoker and bring the temp to 200 degrees F. Use apple or cherry wood chunks to provide smoke and flavor. Place the ribs in the smoker, curved side down. Smoke for 2 hours at 200 degrees F, and then raise the temperature to 250 degrees F for about 2 1/2 hours. Check for tenderness by testing if the bones will pull apart with a slight bit of pressure. If they are still tough, allow to cook for another 30 minutes.
• Remove from the smoker. For dry-style ribs, sprinkle with about 1 tablespoon rub. For wet-style ribs, glaze with the BBQ sauce.

MUSTARD RUB FOR PORK

Steps:

• Place the first 5 ingrediants in a dry skillant. Place over medium heat, moving the skillet to keep seeds from burning, until aromatic, about 2 minutes. Mustard Seeds will begin to pop. Transfer seeds to a spice grinder, cool slightly, and pulse until finely chopped but NOT powdery. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in rest of the ingrediants.

TEXAS BRISKET

Steps:

• Trim the fat cap on the brisket to about 1/4 to 1/8 of an inch. Coat the brisket with a light coating of the yellow mustard. Mix the sugar and spices together to form the rub for the brisket. Apply the rub to both sides of the meat.
• Place the brisket in a preheated 194 to 205 degree F smoker until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 185 to 195 degrees F, about 1 1/2 hours per pound. Once the internal temperature is reached, remove the brisket from the smoker and allow it to rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

GARLIC AND MUSTARD PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the mustard, canola oil, garlic, sugar and chopped rosemary. Place the pork roast on top of a rack fitted in a roasting pan. Place the 2 rosemary sprigs underneath the pork. Sprinkle the roast well with salt and pepper. Using a brush or hands, completely coat the roast with the mustard and garlic paste.
• Place the roast in the oven and roast until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Remove from the oven, cover loosely with foil and allow to rest for 15 minutes before slicing. (Reserve 1 cup sliced pork for another use, such as Round 2 Recipe Open Faced Roast Pork and Onion Sandwich.) Serve the sliced pork with the pan drippings poured over top.

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.

COUNTRY MUSTARD RUBBED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the mustard, herb garden seasoning, garlic, honey and chopped parsley. Reserve 1/4 cup of the rub for serving.
• Transfer mustard mixture to a resealable plastic bag. Add the pork chops and thoroughly coat with the mustard mixture. Let the pork chops sit for at least 5 minutes or as long as overnight, in the refrigerator, before grilling.
• Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Grill the chops for 6 to 7 minutes per side.
• Transfer to a serving platter and serve sprinkled with the reserved rub.

MUSTARD-ROASTED PRIME RIB

Steps:

• For the rib roast and red wine sauce:.
• Roast prime rib: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Fit a baking sheet with a rack and line with parchment paper. Place prime rib fat side up on rack.
• In a small bowl, combine mustard, thyme, cumin seeds, and 1 tablespoon salt. Rub mustard mixture on all sides of roast. In another small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon Maldon salt and 2 tablespoons black pepper. Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper mixture and transfer to oven. Roast until edges of meat are beginning to brown, about 15-20 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degrees and continue roasting, rotating halfway through, until the internal temperature reads 125 degrees for medium-rare, about 1 hour 40 minutes to 2 hours more.
• Remove from oven and let rest, at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours before serving.
• Make sauce: In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, warm olive oil until shimmering. Add shallots, season with salt, and saute?, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 12 minutes. Add red wine to deglaze, scraping the bottom of skillet. Cook until reduced by three-quarters, about 2-3 minutes. Skim fat from any roasting juices and add to skillet, along with beef stock and thyme. Continue to cook, stirring, and reduce by half. Add butter and swirl pan to emulsify. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and rewarm if necessary when ready to serve.
• For the asparagus bundles:.
• Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees. Separate asparagus into groupings of 3 stalks each. (You will have about 5 bundles.) Place two slices of pear on top of each set and wrap with one prosciutto slice each. Place bundles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season lightly with salt and pepper, and transfer to oven. Roast until asparagus is deeply golden and prosciutto is crisp, about 25-30 minutes.
• Serve immediately, with prime rib and red wine sauce.
