Roast Beef Aioli Bundles Recipes

ROAST BEEF AND CAMEMBERT PANINI WITH ARUGULA AIOLI

Steps:

• For the caramelized onions: Place a large, heavy bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter and heat until the butter melts. Add the onions, thyme sprigs, bay leaf and garlic. Sprinkle the onion mixture with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and golden brown, 45 minutes.
• For the arugula aioli: Meanwhile, add the mayonnaise, arugula, lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt to the carafe of a high-speed blender. Blend on high speed until it becomes a smooth sauce that is vibrant green in color, about 30 seconds. Set aside for sandwich assembly or store, refrigerated, in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
• For the panini: Lay 2 pieces of bread out on a work surface. Spread each piece of bread with 1 tablespoon of arugula aioli. Place 3 slices of Brie on 1 piece of bread. Layer the roast beef over the Brie. Spread 3 tablespoons of caramelized onions over the beef. Close the sandwich with the other piece of bread, aioli facing in. Repeat this process to assemble 3 more sandwiches.
• Place a large saute pan over medium heat. Gather a piece of parchment paper and a cast-iron pan to use as a weight on top of the sandwiches.
• Pour 1 tablespoon olive oil into the pan, followed by 2 sandwiches. Lay the parchment over the sandwiches and cover with the cast-iron pan. Gently press the cast iron into the sandwiches and cook until the bread is golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes. Remove the cast-iron pan and parchment and flip the sandwiches over. Replace the parchment and cast-iron pan and cook the sandwiches until the bread is toasted and the cheese begins to melt, about 2 minutes more. Remove the sandwiches from the pan and repeat this process with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and 2 sandwiches.
• Cut each panini in half to serve.

BEEF WITH HORSERADISH-BEET AIOLI

Steps:

• Prepare the beef: Pat the beef dry and season all over with salt, pepper, lemon zest and grated garlic. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Prepare the fresh horseradish and beets: In a food processor fitted with the grating blade, grate horseradish and beet. Replace the grating blade with the food processor chopping blade. Add vinegar, sugar and salt. Process until mixture is finely chopped, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Prepare the aioli: In a medium bowl, whisk together egg, egg yolk, lemon juice and salt. Whisking constantly, add oil in a thin, steady stream until fully incorporated. (Or do this in the blender if you prefer.) Aioli should be emulsified, but somewhat loose. Stir in 2 to 4 tablespoons horseradish mixture, to taste; reserve remaining horseradish mixture and serve alongside aioli and beef. Chill aioli until needed; it will keep for up to 5 days.
• Remove beef from refrigerator. If needed, fold the thin end of the meat over itself so the meat becomes an evenly thick log, then tie ends with kitchen twine. (Skip this step if the meat is already an evenly thick log.)
• Bundle three leek halves together with kitchen twine, securing them in at least two places so that the leeks don't slip out. Repeat with remaining leek halves.
• Heat oil over medium-high heat in the bottom of a wide Dutch oven. Add beef and brown well on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer meat to a platter. Stir in wine and cook, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pan, until reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
• Add leeks, root vegetables, garlic and stock to the pot. Tie thyme branches together with twine and drop into the pot. Stir in bay leaf. Bring mixture to a simmer.
• Add meat and any juices on the plate and cook, partly covered, at a gentle simmer (do not let it come to a boil) until meat reaches desired doneness (120 degrees on an instant-read thermometer for rare), 15 to 25 minutes. Immediately remove meat from pot, transfer to a plate, and tent with foil to rest 10 minutes.
• If vegetables are not quite tender, continue to simmer them until they are. Taste stock and season with salt and a squeeze of lemon.
• Slice the meat thinly just before serving. To serve, spoon vegetables into shallow bowls and arrange meat on top. Ladle a little of the broth over and around meat and vegetables. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt and chopped chives. Serve with aioli and additional fresh horseradish and beets.

AIOLI BEEF ROLL-UPS

Steps:

• Mix mayonnaise and garlic in small bowl.
• Spread mixture evenly over tortillas.
• Top tortillas with layers of spinach, beef, cheese and tomato; roll up tightly.
• Cut each tortilla into 12 pieces; secure with toothpicks.
• Serve immediately or refrigerate until serving time.
• Do-Ahead: Wrap tortilla rolls individually in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
• Substitution: In place of the roast beef, you can use sliced cooked turkey.

HERB-COATED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH ROASTED-GARLIC AIOLI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Trim tops of garlic by about 1/2 inch; place in parchment-lined foil and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Wrap to seal and roast until soft, 1 hour. Unwrap and let cool completely.
• Slip garlic cloves out of their jackets and into a blender. Blend with egg, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper until smooth. With motor running, slowly stream in 3/4 cup vegetable oil until thick and smooth; if too thin, add up to 1/4 cup more oil. Refrigerate in an airtight container at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days; season to taste before serving.
• Place beef on a rack set in a rimmed baking sheet; season generously with salt and pepper. Refrigerate, uncovered, at least 4 hours and up to overnight. Preheat oven to 275°F. Pat beef dry; brush with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Transfer to a roasting pan or large ovenproof skillet, such as cast iron. Roast until a thermometer inserted in center reads 125°F for medium rare, 60 to 65 minutes. Tent with foil; let stand 15 minutes.
• Finely chop herbs on a large cutting board and spread out in an even layer. Untie roast and roll in herbs, pressing to coat. Transfer to a serving platter, slice, and serve with aioli.
