Triple-Mustard Sauce

3.8

(5)

Mustard and honey are a combination that's ideal for lamb or tuna steaks. It's a bit too pungent to use for dipping, but the flavor mellows with cooking. Brush the sauce liberally on meat or fish before and during grilling. The recipe makes enough for about 1 1/2 pounds of lamb or fish.

Any marinade coming in contact with raw meat, seafood or poultry must be boiled for one minute before using it for basting.
