ASPARAGUS WITH BLENDER HOLLANDAISE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; let cool about 5 minutes. Put egg yolks in a blender. With motor running, gradually add butter. Add lemon juice and cayenne; season with salt and pepper. (Sauce should be thick but fluid enough to drizzle from a spoon, and should form a pool, not a mound. If too thick, thin with warm water.) Season to taste with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Sauce is best used immediately, but can be stored in a thermos about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring 1 inch salted water to a boil in a large straight-sided skillet. Add asparagus, in batches if needed to avoid crowding. Cook until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes; drain. Serve warm or room temperature, with sauce.

If it is made in advance, add 1 tablespoon hot tap water and blend for a few seconds before serving.)
• Break off the tough ends of the asparagus and, if they're thick, peel them. Place the asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, then toss to coat the asparagus completely. Spread the asparagus in a single layer and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Roast the asparagus for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender but still crisp.
• Pour the hollandaise sauce over the warm asparagus and serve.

CHARRED ASPARAGUS WITH MISO BéARNAISE SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine wine, vinegar, shallots, tarragon stems, and black peppercorns, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Adjust heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook until reduced to about 1 1/2 tablespoons of liquid, 10 to 12 minutes. Carefully strain liquid through a fine-mesh strainer into a small bowl, pressing on the solids with the back of a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Let mixture cool slightly.
• In a tall-sided cup that barely fits the head of an immersion blender, combine egg yolks, miso, and the wine-vinegar reduction. Using an immersion blender. Blend mixture until well-combined, about 30 seconds.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt butter over high heat, swirling constantly, until foaming subsides. Transfer butter to a 1-cup liquid measuring cup. Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat.
• Place head of immersion blender into the bottom of the cup and turn it on. With the blender constantly running, slowly pour hot butter into cup in a thin and steady stream. Continue blending, raising and lowering blender head slightly to fully emulsify butter with the egg yolk mixture. Sauce should be thick and creamy, able to coat a spoon but still flow off of it. If it is too thick, whisk in a small amount of water to thin it out. Stir in minced tarragon and season to taste with salt. Transfer to a small lidded pot and keep in a warm place for up to 1 hour before serving. Béarnaise cannot be cooled and reheated.
• Add half of the asparagus to the preheated cast iron skillet and arrange in a single layer. Cook, turning occasionally, until spears are lightly charred all over and just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes for thin spears, 5 to 8 minutes for thick spears. Carefully add half of the vegetable oil to the skillet, toss to coat asparagus with oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer asparagus to a warmed serving plate. Repeat with remaining asparagus and vegetable oil. Serve immediately, passing béarnaise sauce at the table.

Place a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat on the stove top and sear tenderloin all over. Place the whole pan in the oven and roast the tenderloin for 15-17 minutes (depending on how thick your tenderloin is). An instant-read thermometer when inserted into the thickest part of the meat should read 130 degrees F for medium-rare. If you want it medium, cook for a further 3 minutes in the oven. Remove from the oven and tent with foil while you let it rest for 10 minutes before cutting.

FILET MIGNON WITH BéARNAISE SAUCE AND ROASTED ASPARAGUS RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. Boil the wine, vinegar, shallots and one tablespoon of tarragon in a small, heavy saucepan until the liquid is reduced to two tablespoons. Then strain it through a fine-mesh sieve set into a medium metal bowl, pressing on and then discarding solids. 2. Whisk the yolks into the vinegar mixture, and then set the bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Cook, whisking constantly, until the yolks have thickened slightly (do not scramble them). Whisk in the butter, one piece at a time, adding each piece before the previous one has melted completely. (Note: have your butter ready next to you so you don't accidentally overcook the eggs). 3. Remove it from the heat, and whisk in the lemon juice, remaining tablespoon tarragon, about 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper (or to taste). 4. Transfer the sauce to a smaller glass bowl, and place it into a saucepan that has boiling hot water in it. Cover it with a lid. This keeps the sauce warm while you grill or roast the filet mignon and roast the asparagus. 5. For the filet mignon, season each steak with kosher salt. If you are roasting the filets in a roasting pan or ovenproof frying pan, heat one tablespoon of the olive oil. When the filets are hot, sear them on all sides until they become golden brown. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast them for seven to eight minutes, turning the filets over after three to four minutes. 6. If you are grilling the filets, grill them over hot coals for about eight minutes per side (five minutes per side for rare). 7. To cook the asparagus, begin by preheating the oven to 400 °. 8. Snap or cut the dry stem ends off each asparagus, and place them on a heavy baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil on them, sprinkle them with salt and pepper and toss them. Roast the asparagus until it is tender, which will take about eight to ten minutes, depending on how thick your asparagus is. Cool it slightly, and serve it warm or at room temperature.
