Bull In A Beret Recipes

BLOODY BULL

Steps:

• To a pitcher filled a quarter full with ice, add the tomato juice, beef broth, vodka, lemon juice, horseradish, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, celery seed and pepper. Stir to combine. Serve over ice, garnished with celery stalks and Spicy Pickled Okra and Green Beans.
• Bring a medium pot of well-salted water to a boil. Have an ice bath ready.
• Boil the green beans until just crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add the okra and cook for 30 seconds. Drain in a colander and immediately transfer to the ice bath to cool. Drain the vegetables and pack them into the Mason jar along with the dill and garlic.
• Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the coriander seeds; toast until fragrant and a shade darker, about 2 minutes. Add the vinegar, sugar, red pepper flakes, cayenne, smoked paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Pour the brine over the vegetables. Add a little water to the jar to cover the vegetables if necessary. Cool to room temperature, then cover the jar and refrigerate for at least 6 hours and up to 3 weeks.

HARVARD BEETS

BULL IN A BERET

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Season both sides of filets with steak seasoning, pressing in so it'll adhere, and let filets come to room temperature (up to 30 minutes prior to cooking).
• SCHROOMS: Combine cheeses, breadcrumbs and scallions and mix well.
• Place mushrooms on foil-lined baking sheet. Fill with the above mixture and top each with bacon.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes.
• STEAKS: While mushrooms are cooking, heat oil and butter in large skillet over medium-high to high heat. When hot, add steaks.
• For medium-rare steaks, fry first side for 4 minutes, lower heat slightly and turn over, cooking for an additional 5 minutes. Adjust time according to desired doneness.
• CAP THE COW: Move steaks to plates and top with "beret" schroomage. Consider donning a smoking jacket and carrying a painter's brush and palette to the table for effect. These are VERY rich, so, yeah... do something to work off the calories when you're done.
