Roasted Beef Tenderloin With Fire Roasted Tomato Salsa And Potato Cheese Galette Recipes

ROASTED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH FIRE ROASTED TOMATO SALSA AND POTATO CHEESE GALETTE

Steps:

• Season the beef with salt, pepper and coriander.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a saute pan, heat some of the olive oil until smoking and sear the beef until browned all over. Transfer to oven and cook until medium rare, (120-degree internal temperature) about 12 to 15 minutes. Set aside and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
• Season mixed greens with the two tablespoons of olive oil and salt and pepper. Divide evenly onto 4 plates. Cut the tenderloin into 1/2-inch thick slices and place slices on top of mixed greens. Spoon half of the tomato salsa over the beef (don't cover completely) and serve remaining salsa on the side. Serve with Potato Cheese Galette.
• Over a hot grill, roast the tomatoes until blackened. Transfer to a bowl and add the chipotles. Cover and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Add the basil, garlic and lime juice and marinate for 10 minutes. Transfer to a blender or food processor and pulse until chunky. Transfer to a bowl and add the vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in 1 cup of olive oil. Reserve.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place the potato slices in a double layer in a medium bowl, pour the clarified butter over, and toss to coat the slices. Season lightly with salt. Arrange half the potatoes, flower fashion, in a 9-inch ovenproof skillet. Cook over medium heat until the ends begin to brown and the potatoes stick together. (This will keep the cheeses from running through.) Sprinkle with the cheeses and cover with the remaining potatoes, arranged the same way as the bottom layer. Set in the oven for 10 minutes, carefully flip potatoes with a wide spatula, and brown on a medium-high flame. Return to the oven for 5 minutes longer. Cut into 4 quarters and keep warm.

IRONS IN THE FIRE BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Heat the grill. Place the peppers on the grill until the skins are charred then, using tongs, transfer them to a plastic bag to rest and peel them when cool.
• Place the whole fillet on a utility platter, brush with melted butter, and season with salt and pepper. Sear filet on all sides on hot part of the grill. Move to indirect for medium rare. Alternatively you can sear the fillet in a pan with oven safe handles and transfer pan to a preheated 425 degree F oven for about 30 minutes to reach the same internal temperature. Allow meat to rest before slicing. (On the episode we skewered the beef tenderloins on the sterilized shafts of old golf clubs, grilled them on the skewer, and sliced servings right off the skewer. If you have a rotisserie skewer, you can do something similar.)
• In the blender, combine the peeled peppers with the scallions, garlic, cilantro, and lime juice. Blend these until a smooth consistency is achieved then, with the blender running, pour the olive oil in a thin stream through the feed opening. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
• Slice bread in half lengthwise, brush with oil, and season with garlic powder. Grill briefly, cut side down.
• Serve slices of fillet with sauce spooned over or on the side with slices of the bread as an accompaniment.

FIRE ROASTED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH MADEIRA MUSTARD SAUCE AND WASABI MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Preheat a grill.
• In a saucepan, heat oil, black peppercorns, star anise, coriander seeds, and Szechuan peppercorns for 1 minute until aromatic. Stir in red curry paste, tamarind paste, and honey. Deglaze with Madeira and reduce until syrupy. Add the veal stock and continue to reduce in half. Transfer to a blender and process to a puree. Strain and set aside.
• Over hot grill, cook the tenderloin until grill marks appear on all sides. Transfer to a saute pan and pour in half of the strained sauce. Roast in the oven for 4 to 5 minutes or until desired doneness.
• Transfer the remaining sauce to a saucepan and cook over medium heat. Reduce until thickened. In a cup, dissolve the powdered mustard in rice wine vinegar. Whisk in mustard and finish sauce with the butter.
• To serve, cut the steak into thin slices. Nap with Madeira Mustard Sauce and serve with Wasabi Mashed Potatoes garnished with a whole star anise.
• Cut the potatoes into large pieces of equal size. Cover with salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender. Drain thoroughly. Pass through a food mill and whip in the butter, hot cream and roasted garlic puree.
• Blanch the spinach in boiling salted water for 10 seconds. Refresh in ice water. Drain thoroughly. Transfer to a blender and add wasabi powder. Process to a puree. Stir into warm mashed potatoes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
