Hoisin Marinated Filets Mignons With Nectarine Salsa Recipes

HOISIN-MARINATED FILETS MIGNONS WITH NECTARINE SALSA

Steps:

• Make marinade:
• Finely chop scallion and in a bowl whisk together with remaining marinade ingredients.
• In a large heavy-duty sealable plastic bag combine marinade and steaks, turning steaks to coat with marinade, and seal bag, pressing out excess air. Marinate steaks at room temperature 1 hour.
• Make salsa while steaks are marinating:
• Finely chop nectarine and bell pepper. Seed and finely chop tomatoes. Thinly slice white and pale-green parts of scallions and mince garlic. Wearing protective gloves, discard seeds and ribs from chile and finely chop chile. In a bowl stir together all salsa ingredients and season with salt and pepper.
• Prepare grill.
• Remove steaks from marinade, discarding it, and grill steaks on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. (Alternatively, grill steaks in a hot lightly oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.) Transfer steaks with tongs to a platter and let stand 5 minutes.
• Serve steaks with salsa.

SMOTHERED FILET MIGNON

Steps:

• Season steaks with seasoned salt and black pepper, and arrange in a single layer in a large baking dish. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, and rosemary. Pour mixture over filets, and turn to coat. Marinate for up to 30 minutes.
• While you are marinating the meat, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook onion slices in butter until soft, then stir in sugar. Continue cooking until onions are caramelized. Set aside.
• Preheat grill for high heat on one side, and medium heat on the other side.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Place steaks on the hot side of the grill, and cook for 10 minutes, turning once. When the steaks are almost done, move to the cooler side of the grill. Top each filet with a quarter of the caramelized onions and blue cheese. Close the lid, and continue cooking until the cheese is melted.

HOISIN-GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, chili sauce, lemon juice, ginger, garlic, and olive oil in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place the salmon fillets into the marinade, and turn to evenly coat. Cover the dish with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove and discard the plastic wrap from the salmon, use a spoon to scoop up the marinade that has collected in the bottom of the baking dish, and drizzle it over the salmon fillets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 30 minutes.
