Instructions
- Five hours before serving, prepare beef: Heat broiler. In small bowl, combine salt, dried basil, cumin, and ground black and red peppers.

Remove steak to piece of aluminum foil. Cool to room temperature on wire rack. Wrap tightly and place in freezer 4 hours.
- In 4-quart saucepan, cook cavatelli following package directions. Meanwhile, prepare Mustard Dressing: In pint (2 cups) jar with tight-fitting lid, combine 1/3 cup olive oil, 1/3 cup water, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 2 teaspoons dry mustard, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Shake well.
- Drain pasta very well. In large bowl, combine hot pasta with half of Mustard Dressing. Set aside remaining dressing. Set pasta aside to cool to room temperature. Cover tightly and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Just before serving, on cutting board with very sharp knife, thinly slice or shave partially frozen beef. Set aside 10 minutes to thaw. Add green, red, and yellow peppers and chopped basil, if desired, to pasta and toss well to combine.
- To serve, arrange frisée around edges of 4 large salad plates. Divide pasta mixture and beef among plates. Shake remaining dressing and drizzle over beef and pasta. Garnish with basil sprigs, if desired, and serve immediately.
