Sauteed Mushrooms And Blue Cheese Sandwich Recipes

FILET OF BEEF WITH MUSHROOMS AND BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500˚. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
• Place the beef on the prepared sheet pan and pat dry with paper towels. Spread 1 tablespoon of the butter all over the beef with your hands. Sprinkle the beef all over with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Roast for exactly 25 minutes for rare (120˚) and 30 minutes for medium rare (125˚). Remove the beef from the oven, cover tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large (12-inch) sauté pan. Add the shallots and sauté over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, until tender but not browned. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and heat until sizzling. Add the mushrooms and sauté, stirring frequently, for 5 to 7 minutes, until lightly browned. Add the Port, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the crème fraîche and cook for one minute, until slightly thickened. Reduce the heat to low and add the Roquefort, stirring just until it melts. (If the sauce is too thick, add another splash of Port.)
• Before serving, reheat the sauce and sprinkle with the parsley. Remove the strings from the roast and slice thickly. Spoon on the sauce, sprinkle with salt and serve hot.

STEAK IN MUSHROOM AND BLUE CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a heavy skillet on medium-high heat. Add the steaks and sear on high heat until done to your preference, about 2-4 minutes per side for rare to medium rare.
• Let the steaks rest in a heated oven until ready to eat.
• Melt the butter in the same pan. Add the onion and saute at medium heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme and saute until fragrant, about a minute.
• Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the broth and cognac and deglaze the pan and simmer until it has thickened and reduced by about half.
• Remove from heat and stir in the blue cheese and pour over the steaks. Garnish with additional blue cheese crumbles.

PAN SEARED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS WITH BACON AND BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• Place a large saute pan over medium high and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
• Add the bacon and cook until crisp, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Add the portobello mushrooms to the rendered bacon fat and season them with salt and pepper. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, and once golden brown, flip. Season again with salt and pepper and cook until golden brown, another 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove the mushrooms from the pan to a platter.
• Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.
• Add the butter and then toss back in the bacon and then sprinkle the flour over the onion bacon mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the flour begins to look sandy.
• Slowly pour in the chicken stock and scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Once the gravy starts to thicken and simmer, pour in the milk.
• Add the blue cheese and cook until the gravy coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• Add the parsley, spoon the gravy on top of the mushrooms and serve.

ROASTED PORTABELLO MUSHROOMS WITH BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Place mushroom caps, tops facing down, on a baking sheet. Drizzle balsamic vinegar on each cap and sprinkle black pepper over vinegar.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tender and fragrant, about 25 minutes. Sprinkle blue cheese, pine nuts, and garlic on each cap. Continue roasting until cheese melts, about 10 minutes more.
