Poached Beef Fillet Served With Its Own Broth And Baby Winter Vegetables Recipes

BEEF TENDERLOIN POACHED IN ONION BROTH

Steps:

• Tie additional kitchen string to end ties on beef tenderloin. Secure to ends of a wooden spoon long enough to balance on rim of a large Dutch oven. (String should be tied so beef hangs below pot rim and broth but doesnâ??t touch bottom.) Set aside.
• Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized, about 20 minutes. (If mixture begins to darken or dry out, add a few tablespoons water.) Add wine and cook, stirring and scraping browned bits off bottom, until almost evaporated, about 4 minutes. Add leeks, turnip, rutabaga, and 10 cups water. Bring to a simmer, then partially cover and adjust heat to maintain a bare simmer. Cook 30 minutes, then remove turnip and transfer to a dish. Continue simmering until rutabaga is fork-tender, about 10 minutes more. Remove rutabaga and transfer to dish.
• Push leeks and onions to sides of pot and lower beef into center, balancing wooden spoon on pot rim. If necessary, add more warm water to completely cover beef. Add potatoes and bring to a simmer. Cook, adjusting heat as necessary to maintain broth temperature at 190 degrees, until a thermometer inserted in center of beef reads 120 degrees for rare, about 30 minutes. (Meat will continue to cook after poaching.)
• Remove potatoes and transfer to dish with vegetables. Remove beef, transfer to a cutting board, and let rest, tented with foil, 5 minutes. Keep poaching liquid warm. Remove strings from beef and cut beef into slices. Strain poaching liquid through a fine-mesh sieve. Divide broth, vegetables, and meat among serving bowls. Season with salt and pepper and top with prepared horseradish.

BEEF WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium high heat, saute the beef slices in the oil for 5 minutes, or until well browned. Add the onion, garlic and ginger and saute for 5 more minutes. Then add the green bell pepper, carrot and beef broth. Reduce heat to low and let simmer.
• Meanwhile, in a separate small bowl, combine the corn flour, sugar, soy sauce and oyster sauce, if desired. Stir thoroughly, forming a smooth paste. Slowly add this to the simmering beef and vegetables, stirring well, and let simmer to desired thickness. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

POACHED FILLET OF BEEF WITH WINTER VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Slice carrots, celery root and leeks into sections about 2 inches long and 1/4 inch wide. There should be about 3 cups. The slices should be the same size so they cook evenly.
• Place the carrots, celery and leeks in a large saucepan, and cover with lightly salted water. Bring to a boil, remove from heat and drain immediately.
• In another large saucepan bring the beef broth to a low simmer over medium-high heat. Add salt and pepper, the carrots, celery and leeks, and simmer 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender. Do not let the broth boil, or it will lose its color.
• Meanwhile, season the fillet pieces on both sides with salt and pepper. Add to the simmering vegetables, and cook over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Do not let the liquid boil.The meat should be served medium rare.
• Divide the vegetables in a decorative pattern over 4 warm serving plates. Place the beef pieces next to the vegetables. Spoon over the dressing. Season if necessary. Garnish with fresh herbs. The broth can be served on the side in a consomme cup.

POACHED FILLET OF BEEF WITH WHITE PEPPERCORN SAUCE

Steps:

• The idea is to get an even cylinder of beef fillet, about 12 inches long and 2 to 3 inches in diameter. Trim the fillet of all fat and sinew, then tie it with a string to keep a round shape. Coat the fillet with freshly ground pepper and salt and refrigerate it for 3 to 4 hours.
• Bring to boil in an oval dutch oven: dark beef stock, leeks, carrots, onions, white turnips whole black peppercorns, brandy and ground clove. Simmer gently for 2 hours. Add beef. Cook for about 20 minutes, or until beef is very rare. Remove from liquid, discard any vegetables and let stand for 5 minutes.
• While beef is poaching, prepare the sauce. Reduce to about 4 teaspoons: dry white wine, chopped shallots, and whole black peppercorns.
• Place in another saucepan: creme fraiche and egg yolk. Whisk together, then slowly whisk in the strained reduction liquid. Cook over gentle heat, stirring until egg yolk thickens the sauce slightly. Add grated nutmeg. Season, to taste.

BEEF POT ROAST AND WINTER VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F.
• Brown meat in hot oil in large skillet on medium heat. Place in large roasting pan. Arrange vegetables around meat.
• Mix soup and marinade; pour over meat and vegetables. Cover tightly.
• Bake 2-1/2 to 3 hours or until meat is done and fork tender. Serve with meat drippings. Sprinkle with parsley.

POACHED FILETS MIGNONS WITH HORSERADISH SAUCE

Steps:

• Season filets with salt and pepper.
• In a 2-quart saucepan heat demiglace and water just to a simmer and add steak. Add some boiling water to mixture if necessary to make enough liquid to just cover steak. Poach steak at a bare simmer (meat will toughen if liquid is allowed to boil), without turning, 8 minutes and remove from broth. Boil broth over high heat until reduced to about 1/2 cup and stir in mustard and horseradish. Keep sauce warm over low heat and halve steaks horizontally.
• Mound quinoa mixture on 1 side of 4 large plates and arrange 2 slices steak alongside. Spoon sauce over steak.

POACHED BEEF FILLET WITH WATERCRESS & WALNUT SALAD

Steps:

• Put the stock on to boil with the onion, fennel, carrot and herbs. Cover and simmer for 10 mins. Trim the beef fillet of any sinew. Do not tie it.
• Season the beef all over, then lower into the simmering stock. Allow the stock to return to a gentle boil, then lower the heat until it is barely simmering. Cover, then cook for 18 mins for medium-rare, 22 mins for well done. Remove the pan from the heat, leave the meat to stand for 15 mins in the stock, remove and pat dry. Slice into 8 pieces. The stock can be strained, cooled and re-used.
• Make the salad by scattering the watercress leaves over a small serving plate. Whisk together the oil, vinegar, mustard and some seasoning. Drizzle half over the leaves and scatter with the nuts. Arrange the meat on top and mix 2 tbsp of the stock with the remaining dressing. Pour over the beef, sprinkle with sea salt flakes and serve with steamed Jersey Royal potatoes.

POACHED BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Put the meat in a deep pan just large enough to hold it-a Dutch oven is usually ideal, but you can curve the meat into a wide saucepan too-and cover it with boiling water or stock. Add a large pinch of salt if you're using water or if the stock is unsalted. Adjust the heat so that the mixture bubbles gently-on my stove that's medium.
• Cook until the meat's internal temperature reaches 120°F (use an instant-read thermometer); 125°F if you prefer medium-rare. Remove the meat and let it sit for about 5 minutes, then cut into 1/2- to 1-inch-thick slices. Serve immediately with the garnishes.

POACHED BEEF WITH LEEKS

Steps:

• Cover potatoes with cold water in a saucepan; add 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer until tender, 10 to 15 minutes; drain. Return to pot; cover.
• Stir together horseradish, vinegar, parsley, oil, and a pinch of salt; set aside.
• Bring stock, wine, celery, and garlic to a boil in a tall, narrow 6-quart pot. Reduce heat to medium-low; add leeks and 3 sprigs thyme. Simmer until vegetables are tender, 5 to 10 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to a large bowl; cover. Place beef and peppercorns in pot; add water just to cover, if necessary. Partially cover pot; cook at a bare simmer until an instant-read thermometer reads 130 degrees when inserted into center of beef, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove beef, and let rest 10 minutes.
• Carve beef on a carving board into 18 thin slices; add any juices to broth. Pour broth through a fine sieve into bowl with vegetables; discard solids. Divide soup, potatoes, and beef among six bowls; garnish with thyme. Serve sauce on the side.
