Pork Tenderloin with Honey Mustard

Use Buzz Savories Honey Mustard to Make a Brighter 2022

Pork Tenderloin with Honey Mustard

Hello to 2022 and to all of you who cook and eat well.

One of the things I like best about Buzz Savories is when our readers create a recipe and share it with me. Kris K., a regular reader, sent a simple and savory recipe for pork tenderloin and says Buzz Savories Honey Mustard makes it “bright.”

Creator Kris says, “I love your products. The honey mustard is unique among similar products in that it’s grainy and has a lot of depth of flavor.”  

The recipe that Kris created satisfied all the Buzz Savories criteria: wholesome and delicious and prepared with basic ingredients and requiring a minimum amount of time to prep, cook and clean-up. We liked it so much we’re featuring it today in the January Buzz Savories newsletter. 

Kris also brings Brussels sprouts and acorn squash into her pork tenderloin menu. She says, “Brussel sprouts and squash add bright color and additional flavor to the plate, and the vegetables roast in the oven with the tenderloin.”

Kris’s tenderloin is prepped in 10 minutes and 25 minutes later, the roast is on the table. Allow it to rest for 15 minutes, then serve. Aside from marvelous flavor in every bite, I like the recipe because I can join the guests and family while the tenderloin and vegetables roast, and soon after the plates are served, I’m sitting in the sacred circle around the table.

Honey Cough Syrup

Honey for a cough

Can Honey Calm a Cough?

Honey Cough Syrup

For all of winter’s wonders, it often brings along colds, flu, viral illnesses and respiratory infections with accompanying sore throats and coughs.

According to an article in the Mayo Clinic December 2021 newsletter, antibiotics won’t work in these situations and for many, over-the-counter medications don’t work that well.

Maybe honey is the answer?  

Mayo Clinic, December 2021 Newsletter prescribes Honey to Calm a Cough reporting, “Honey did a better job of decreasing cough frequency and severity in upper respiratory tract infections such as colds, coughs and flu-like sickness.”

The American College of Chest Physicians also prescribes honey to help relieve acute coughs in children over 12 years old but warns not to give honey to children younger than one, as it can result in infant botulism, a rare but serious condition.

Though honey is mostly fructose, an unprocessed  artisanal honey (BUZZ SAVORIES HONEY) also contains a beneficial mix of amino acids, vitamins, enzymes, minerals, iron, zinc, and antioxidants.

The next time a cough strikes you or someone you love, try this recipe published in the National Honey Board website at  https://honey.com.

Filet de Boeuf a’ la Moutarde

Filet de Boeuf a’ la Moutard

Filet Mignon with Mustard and Mushrooms

Filet de Boeuf a’ la Moutarde - An Elegant Start to 2022

few friends to join me, and we cook the elegant Filet de Boeuf a’ la Moutarde aux Champignons (Filet Mignon with Mushroom and Mustard Sauce).

Buzz Savories’ Spicy Beer Mustard is the textbook accent for the flavors of rich, earthy mushrooms and in the company of a perfectly roasted fillet mignon, the dinner looks — indeed is — fit for royalty.

The fillets need not be large, maybe 4-6 oz., and of course we recommend corn fed Nebraska beef. To simplify the cooking process, I sauté the mushrooms early in the day of the party, then measure all other ingredients and the rest is just executing the plan.

I roast matchsticks of zucchini and/or Brussel sprouts or broccolini in the same hot oven while I’m roasting the fillets. To complete an elegant meal, simply add a crusty baguette and a nice glass of French wine, then welcome the New Year with a toast to health, happiness and prosperity!

Thanks to Andy Anello for introducing me to Filet de Boeuf a’ la Moutarde at aux Champignons at La Valencia, a classic hotel in LaJolla, CA, and to Ina Garten for the original recipe and Jane Anello’s sumptuous adaptation.

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • heavy bottomed skillet
  • outdoor grill or indoor oven

What You'll Need:

  • 4 10 ½ oz. each beef filet (2-inch thick)
  • 2 Tbs. canola oil
  • Tbs. salt
  • 2 tsp. fresh ground black pepper
  • 2 Tbs. unsalted butter
  • 12 oz. cremini mushrooms, stemmed and sliced thin

  • 2 Tbs. fresh parsley, minced

How To Prepare:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat a large (10-inch) cast-iron skillet or other heavy bottomed skillet over high heat for 5-7 minutes. Pat the filets dry with paper towels and brush all over with the canola oil. Combine the salt and cracked pepper on a small plate and roll the filets on the top, bottom, and sides in the seasoning, pressing lightly to coat.
  • When the skillet is very hot, add the filets and sear evenly on all sides (top, bottom, and sides) for about 2 minutes per side.
  • Transfer the steaks from the skillet to a sheet pan and place in the oven for 8-12 minutes, until the steaks register 120 degrees F on a meat thermometer for medium-rare. Remove from the oven, cover the pan with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the butter in the skillet that you seared the filets. Add the mushrooms and saute for 4-5 minutes, until they release their juices. Stir in the sherry and cook for 10-12 minutes, until the mushrooms are cooked through. Sprinkle with ½ tsp. salt and ⅓ tsp. pepper. Spoon the mushrooms into a small bowl and set aside.
  • Add olive oil to the skillet, then the shallots, and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add brandy and stir to deglaze the skillet, and cook for 2 minutes, until the brandy evaporates and the shallots are tender. Stir in the cream and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, until thickened. Stir in the Spicy Beer Mustard and taste for seasonings. If the sauce is too thick, add more cream.
  • Remove the strings from the filets and place on 4 warm dinner plates. Spoon the mustard sauce around the filets. Spoon the mushrooms on top of the filets and sprinkle each place with parsley. Serve hot.

Rice Pudding with a Honey Swirl

Rice Pudding with a Honey Swirl

Rice Pudding with an Artisanal Honey Swirl

Christmas is about traditions, and for some of us, Christmas would not be complete without a family-favorite — rice pudding with fresh fruit and a swirl of Buzz Savories Artisanal Honey. Even if you haven’t spent years or decades making this simple, nourishing rice pudding dessert featuring Arborio rice, perhaps now is the time to start the tradition. 

I especially like it because the fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries or pears (choose the fruits or berries you like best!) add color and a pleasantly sour flavor that balances the sweetness in the rice, and then the swirls of honey add a gentle floral flavor to the entire composition.  Serve it chilled.  Swirl the honey on the fruit at the table and I promise smiles all around.

Cooking the rice requires 45 minutes and then, you’ll have the pleasure and art of arranging the fruit and presenting the finished dish with a drizzle of Buzz Savories Honey.

Rice pudding with fruit and honey is a light, simple and delicious dessert that also makes a delightful holiday breakfast. I thank Epicurious for the original recipe.

Simple and Savory Beef Stroganoff

Simple and Savory Beef Stroganoff

Simple and Savory Beef Stroganoff

November is a time of year for hearty recipes with a lot of umami. We think this Beef Stroganoff recipe, whether done in the Insta-Pot or in a simple Dutch oven, is a clear winner in the Most Flavor category. You’ll also like it for its one pot simplicity and easy clean-up.

The recipe has its roots in Russia and was first published in a popular Russian cookbook in 1871. Soon after, Beef Stroganoff became a favorite in home kitchens and restaurants, and Russian emigrees traveled to America bringing the recipe with them. We think the sour cream and Buzz Savories Spicy Beer Mustard sauce contribute greatly to the rich and savory flavor. It makes my mouth water just thinking of it.

What’s in your pantry? The versatility of hand-packed, all-natural Buzz Savories mustards earn them a place on your pantry shelf. Sauces, dips, salad dressings, marinade, glazes, spreads — whenever your recipes call for mustard, remember the most savory flavor and all natural ingredients are found at Buzz Savories, right here in Holdrege, Nebraska. If you’re still looking for holiday presents, Buzz Savories Mustards, Artisanal Honey and Beeswax Candles make great gifts.

The Bee’s Knees

The Bee's Knees

The Bee's Knees

For cocktails that may call for a simple syrup, substituting honey syrup — especially made with a light, single-source honey like Buzz Savories Artisanal Honey — creates a unique and delightful depth of flavor. Take, for example, the Bee’s Knees. When this drink was created during Prohibition (to help cover the taste of “bathtub” gin), the term “the bee’s knees” was popular slang to mean “the best” which is why it’s still considered timeless a hundred years later.

The classic Bee’s Knees cocktail consists of gin, lemon juice and honey and is a pleasant twist on a gin sour. Using honey directly will just make a mess in your cocktail shaker, so start by making a honey syrup to thin out the honey. We use one part honey to one-third part hot water, say, a cup to a third of a cup, mix them thoroughly and refrigerate.

When you’re ready, fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add 1 oz. fresh lemon juice, 3⁄4 oz. Buzz Savories honey syrup, and 2 oz. gin. Shake vigorously. Strain into a coupe glass and garnish with a lemon twist.

Some variations on the Bee’s Knees theme include adding a splash of orange juice or substituting lime juice for the lemon. If you divide one drink between two Champagne glasses and fill the rest with bubbly, you’ll find yourself with a French 75, or if you want more of a sipping drink, pour the ingredients over ice and top it off with club soda to create a different take on a Tom Collins.

There are actually quite a number of delicious cocktails with honey syrup as a key ingredient and we’ll explore a few others as we go along, but we’ll leave you with this little tidbit.

In humans, the knee is the joint between the femur and the tibia. Since bees have a femur and a tibia in each leg, they have six knees! Imagine a whole hive of bee’s knees!

Better Than Ever Butternut Squash

Maple, Spicy Beer Mustard Roasted Butternut Squash

Maple and Spicy Beer Mustard Roasted Butternut Squash

It’s November which means the stage is set for butternut squash to play a starring role in autumnal dinners. It has certainly earned its place on our Thanksgiving table.

I like knowing that squash was propagated and grown by the indigenous people in the Americas thousands of years before the colonists arrived. Like tomatoes, corn and chilies, squash is unique to the Americas. You may remember the story of the Wampanoag Tribe offering nourishing squash to the hungry colonists who were unprepared for winter and clinging precariously to Massachusetts’ shores in the 16th Century.

Prepping the squash interests me, and blending the marinade, arranging the squash cubes on the sheet pan and roasting the squash requires little time and effort. Maple and Buzz Savories Spicy Beer Mustard Roasted Butternut Squash will shine on your table and guests will applaud the savory flavor.

Brat Kabobs

Brat kabobs

Grilled Brat Shish Kabobs

Kabobs are always fun to make and the smoky, spicy flavor of these tips them into the realm of the fantastic. Because they’re easy and appetizing, we bet these will earn a place on your regular menu for Sunday suppers, tailgating or barbecue parties.

Except for the potatoes, the vegetables cook in a similar timeframe as the brats, so the grilling process is super simple. I cut the potatoes (I really prefer Yukon Gold) in two-inch chunks and steam them until I can just pierce them with a fork and feel resistance in the center. Although famers markets are starting to disappear in many places, it’s worth the effort to find and serve locally grown potatoes when they are available. Be sure to leave the peels on the potatoes.

The flavors of the brats, zucchini, onion, peppers, and potatoes blend with the Buzz Savories Spicy Beer Mustard and the ravishing colors glow on the serving plate. Plan on people asking for seconds.

Power Salad

The Buzz Savories Power Salad

Buzz Savories Power Salad

October in Nebraska, and I feel the vigor of autumn in the air. Vigor shows its powerful self in the vegetables that grow easily and happily in late fall. The Red Russian Kale, Lettuce Salad Mixes, Spinach, and Brussel sprouts – each filled with deep energy, enthusiasm, and vitality.

Today I’m making a Power Salad with vigorous vegetables supplied by Nebraska growers and our fine, local grocers.

I sent in my order of fresh lettuces, spinach and kale to the Nebraska Food Co-op. The Co-op contracts with Nebraska growers then distributes fresh, natural fruits, vegetables, meats, baked goods, and dairy grown and processed by Nebraska farmers and producers. We buy on-line, and our order is delivered to a convenient location in our town for pick-up.

In October I munch on a Nebraska grown Power Salad of Red Russian Kale, a Lettuce Salad Mix, Spinach, Brussel sprouts vine-fresh apples, and cashew nuts.  Please join me.

For me to recommend a recipe for you, the recipe must satisfy 3 requirements – 1)  amazing flavor 2) simple to make 3) easy clean-up.  The Power Salad Salad satisfies the standards as listed, and even better it satisfies my goals for well being.

The Power Salad’s  hearty greens are dressed with a savory dressing. Buzz Savories Spicy Beer mustard takes a bow  since the play of flavors could not perform as delightfully with any other mustard.

Mix your salad greens and brussels sprouts, cover and refrigerate. To serve, drizzle the dressing over the greens, toss in the apple slices and cashews and toss again.
