BEEF AU JUS

BLUE CHEESE BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Place beef in a shallow dish. Combine teriyaki sauce, red wine and garlic; pour over beef. Allow beef to marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Place tenderloin on broiler pan, and cook in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and cook for 30 to 40 more minutes, or to desired doneness. Allow to set for 10 minutes before slicing.
• In a saucepan over low heat, combine blue cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until smooth; serve over sliced tenderloin.

BEEF AU BLEU

Steps:

• Move the oven rack to the top rungs, and heat the oven to broil for a good ten minutes. Season the steaks on both sides with salt and pepper and rub all over with a little olive oil. Set the meat in a cast iron pan and broil 4 to 6 minutes per side, or until done to your liking. Remove to a carving board, cover with foil, and let rest 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, crumble the cheese into a saucepan, pour over the cream, and gently heat to melt. Carve the meat and arrange on a serving platter. Pour over the juices (if you feel there is too much, you can reduce them first.) Spoon over a little of the sauce and pour the rest into a sauce jug for passing around the table.

BLUEBERRY BACON BLUE CHEESE BURGER AU POIVRE

Steps:

• Divide the beef into 6 loosely packed 1/2-inch-thick patties about 4 1/2 inches in diameter. Set aside.
• Combine the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. In the meantime, stir together the cornstarch and water in a medium bowl. When the blueberry mixture comes to a boil, slowly drizzle in the cornstarch slurry and cook until the blueberry mixture slightly thickens to the consistency of pancake syrup. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
• Place the coarse pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle the burger patties liberally with salt and place one by one in the coarse pepper to coat generously, pushing firmly on each side.
• Cook the burgers in a hot cast-iron pan with a little oil to get them started. Cook 4 minutes on one side, and then flip and cook 3 minutes on the other side to medium-rare. Remove to a warm plate covered with foil to rest while cooking the remaining burgers.
• Meanwhile, cut and toast the buns cut-side down in a separate pan with a touch of oil for extra crunch. Spread the toasted buns liberally with the basil aioli. Place a burger on the bottom bun, followed by some blue cheese, a few spoonfuls of blueberry sauce, 2 slices bacon, a slice of red onion and a big pinch of arugula. Repeat with the remaining burgers.
• Blend the basil, lemon juice, garlic and oil to make a smooth puree in a blender. Mix it with your favorite mayonnaise (2 parts mayonnaise to 1 part basil puree).

FRUGAL GOURMET'S BEEF WITH BLEU CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat a large frying pan. Add the olive oil and the steaks to you perfection. (I like mine rare, very rare.) Remove to a warm plate and add the wine and the garlic and onion. Sauté just a minute and deglaze the pan by scrapping the bottom with a wooden spoon. Allow the wine to reduce be half and then add the glace de viande and the rosemary. Simmer for a moment and add the butter mixed with the cheese. Mix with a wire whip until smooth.
• Place a bit of the sauce on each plate and then a piece of the stake on top of the sauce. Add the salt and pepper at the very last, as salt will dry out the meat during the cooking process. Garnish with parsley.

• Spoon gravy mixture over beef rolls, cover and bake for 20-25 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with parsley and parmesan, and serve.
