Oh yes, I have a "I don't feel like cooking tonight" mustard cream dish. But I use grilled chicken thighs. Near the end I throw in a handful of baby spinach.




Either one of you gentlemen care to share?

I almost always do it with sous vide pork tenderloin, but it can easily be done with any reverse seared meat.

Cook meat until near desired doneness and reserve

1. Heat 1Tbs Oil and 1Tbs Butter in pan
2. Sear meat and set aside
3. On medium heat, add 1/2 cut of shallots and saute until clear
4. Add 1 cup of white wine and reduce by half
5. Add/Stir in jus/drippings
6. Add 1/2 heavy cream and reduce
7. Add/stir in generous dollop of creole mustard
8. Serve over meat.

I make a lot of sauces, glazes, and marinades, including many of those on the OP's list.

Love chimichurri sauce, pesto, and a good board sauce for steak. All have fresh herbs as the main ingredient.

I make a spicy sauce that i call "green stuff" which I serve over Pollo a la Brasa, but also goes well as a salad dressing.

I just made "hot honey", today. I've made it in the past, but didn't know it was a "thing" for putting on pizza. I used it as a glaze for chicken thighs. There's a lot of recipes for it out there. Its basically honey, hot peppers, and apple cider vinegar. Good stuff.

Gastrique - goes well with wild game, especially duck

Sauce Robert - brown mustard/demi sauce it's killer on pork chops

Creolaise - Hollandaise w/ Creole mustard. Gives eggs Benedict a nice twist

Buerre Blanc - I like to pair it with an orange/blood orange juice reduction for fish dishes

Soda reduction- seriously reduce your favorite soda to a syrup and drizzle it over vanilla ice cream. You can also reduce dark sodas such as Coke, root beer, or Dr. Pepper and add to your BBQ sauce

i found a mustard sauce that was posted on here that houston's uses on their pork chop and made it at home. it was great and really helped enhanced the flavor of my double cut pork chop that i made.

this board and its contributors are wonderful in that regard.

i have done this one and really like it

steak brandy butter

1 pound butter
2 ounces brandy
1 tablespoon coarse ground black pepper or peppercorns
1/2 cup parsley, finely chopped
1/2 ounce fresh garlic, minced
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Four 4-6 ounce steaks (sirloin or another tender cut of beef steak)

directions

Instructions for this restaurant recipe:

Put all steak butter ingredients in a food processor and process until creamy (or mix the old fashioned way in a bowl with a spoon until creamy)

You can heat your brandy butter in a pan or skillet if you wish (optional)

Get your barbecue or your broiler hot

Brush the steaks with olive oil and place on grill

DO NOT SALT MEAT until it is off the grill

Cook to desired doneness (temperature)

Plate the steaks and let them "rest" for a minute or two (they deserve it)

Serve the steaks topped with about 1 tablespoon of the brandy butter

3 tablespoons Creole or Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
1 tablespoon pickle juice (optional)
1 teaspoon Tabasco or other Louisiana-style hot sauce, or to taste
1 teaspoon pimentón (smoked paprika)
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
