Date Night Friday!

Well, date night did not go exactly as planned this week. I bought all the ingredients to make Ina's Grown Up Mac and Cheese, a nice flank steak from Whole Foods, and arugula for a salad. Unfortunately the roux for the mac and cheese didn't come together as planned and it was ruined. Thinking quickly I decided to use the leftover cheese and make a big salad topped with steak.

I had the butcher at Whole Foods cut me a night piece of flank steak, about 3/4Lb. Rubbed with olive oil, salt, pepper, red pepper flake, and Worcestershire sauce. Tossed arugula, red peppers, Craisins, and walnuts with homemade honey mustard dressing. Thinly sliced the steak and arranged on top. This was so filling I almost didn't miss the mac and cheese!

Homemade Honey Mustard Dressing
Ingredients:
 2 Tbsp each Honey, Dijon Mustard, Apple Cider Vinegar
4 Tbsp Olive Oil
salt, pepper, cayenne pepper

Whisk together everything except oil. Once combined continue whisking while slowly adding the oilve oil in a stream. Season to taste.

This dressing has been a huge crowd pleaser and is not full of sugar and who knows what from the bottled kind!
