Seared Filet Roulade Recipes

SEARED SALMON FILLET

Steps:

• Heat a large non-stick pan over high with olive oil. Liberally season salmon with salt and pepper. Place skin side down in pan and reduce heat to medium-low. Do not move fillets. Allow to cook about 7 minutes or until well browned and cooked about three quarters of the way through. Turn fillets and cook about 3 minutes more, or until still just barely pink in the center. Serve immediately, with the skin side up.

FILET WITH ROASTED GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the garlic cloves in a small ovenproof dish. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover with foil and roast in the oven until the garlic is golden and soft, about 45 minutes. Set aside to cool completely.
• To a large bowl, add the softened butter, parsley, chives, thyme, red pepper and the roasted garlic. Using a spatula, mix everything together until well combined. Lay out a large piece of plastic wrap and add the butter in a long strip down the middle. Pull one side of the plastic wrap over the butter and gently form it into a log. Tightly twist the ends like a candy wrapper, until everything is nice and tight. Transfer to the fridge for a couple hours to harden. (Butter can be made ahead; it will keep for 1 week in the fridge.)
• When you are ready to cook the steaks, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Sprinkle the steaks liberally with salt and pepper. Add the remaining tablespoon each olive oil and butter to an ovenproof skillet and place over a medium-high heat. When the oil is hot and the butter is melted, place the steaks in the skillet and cook until well browned, about 1 minute per side.
• Place the skillet in the oven and cook the steaks for 4 to 5 minutes for medium-rare. Remove from the oven and top each steak with a thick slice of the garlic butter. Loosely cover with foil and allow to rest for 8 to 10 minutes.

STUFFED BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F.
• Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter, add the shallot and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the sherry, dates, cranberries, thyme and sage and simmer until just dry, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Season the inside of the tenderloin with salt and pepper. Spread an even layer of the fruit and herb mixture over it, leaving about 1/2 inch of tenderloin around the edges. Top with a layer of the almonds. Roll tightly and tie with at least 4 pieces of butcher's twine (easier to cut and portion!).
• Place the loin on a wire-racked baking sheet and season the outside with salt and pepper. Cook until the center of the tenderloin registers 120 to 125 degrees F, about 2 hours.
• In a large skillet, heat the remaining 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat until just foaming. Place the loin in the skillet and sear on all sides until evenly crusty and brown, about 3 minutes a side. Transfer to a cutting board and slice. Garnish with minced chives and serve with horseradish sauce.

HERBED SALMON ROULADES WITH LEMON BEURRE BLANC

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Prepare fillet; starting at thick edge, slice fillet so that it opens like a book (be careful not to cut all the way through the opposite side). Coat inside of salmon "book" with mustard, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with herbs and zest. Slide 6 pieces of kitchen twine under fish, and roll it up. Tie twine to hold roll together. Tie 6 more pieces of twine around fish. Slice the fish into 12 individually tied rounds. Transfer slices to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until ready to cook (up to 1 day).
• In a small saucepan, boil wine, vinegar, and shallot until pan is almost dry, 20 to 25 minutes. Add cream and return to a boil. Remove pan from heat, and gradually whisk in butter until thickened and glossy. Season with salt and pour through a fine-mesh sieve.
• Roast salmon until fish flakes easily, 10 to 12 minutes. Carefully remove twine from each roulade. Drizzle with sauce.

TATANKA ROULADE

Steps:

• Tenderize steaks, if necessary, by pounding. Using a clean dish for preparation, divide mustard and spread on top of each steak. Divide mushrooms and peppers evenly on top of each steak. Roll up each steak, enclosing the peppers, and wrap each roll with 1 slice of bacon. Repeat procedure with remaining 5 steak rolls. Secure with string or a skewer. Lightly season with blended seasoning mixture.
• In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, cook the remaining 2 strips of bacon; add onion and cook until tender. Add the steaks and brown lightly on all sides. Add hot beef broth and reduce the heat. Braise the steaks until an instant-read thermometer registers an internal temperature of 140 degrees F.
• Remove the steaks from the Dutch oven. Add the flour to the reduced stock and whisk to make a brown sauce. Return steak rolls to Dutch oven and keep warm until serving time. Internal temperature at serving time may be 160 degrees F.
• To serve: remove string or skewer. Cut steak diagonally to show colors of peppers and mushrooms. Drizzle sauce over top.

PORK ROULADE WITH ROASTED RED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Butterfly the pork loin and pound it out to an even thickness of 1/2 to 3/4 inch.
• Add the broccoli rabe to a large pot of boiling water and cook until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Submerge the broccoli rabe in a bowl of ice water until cooled, then wring it out to remove as much water as possible. Roughly chop and add to a medium bowl.
• To the broccoli rabe, add the breadcrumbs, sausage, Parmesan and egg; stir to combine. Lay a large piece of caul fat out on a large, flat work surface. Lay about 6 prosciutto slices in the middle, slightly overlapping. Arrange the flattened out pork loin on top of the prosciutto. Set the sausage mixture on the pork loin and shape it into a neat, even log. Wrap 2 pieces of prosciutto around each end of the log and fold the prosciutto that's underneath up and around the pork. Roll the pork loin around the filling and into a log, wrapping the caul fat around it in an even layer. Tie with butcher's twine to secure.
• Coat a pan with olive oil and place it over medium-high heat. Sear the pork roulade until golden brown on all sides. Transfer to a baking dish and bake 10 minutes (reserve the fat in the pan for the Roasted Red Potatoes). Flip the roulade and continue to bake until the internal temperature registers 150 degrees F, about 10 minutes more. Let rest for 5 minutes, then remove the string. Slice and serve with Roasted Red Potatoes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Put the potatoes in a large bowl along with the fat from searing the roulade. Add the Parmesan, garlic, rosemary and some salt; toss to coat. Spread the potatoes out on a baking sheet and bake until tender, 20 to 25 minutes.

CLASSIC FILET WITH PORCINI-MARSALA PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the dried porcini mushrooms and chicken stock in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then turn the heat off and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Pull the mushrooms out of the liquid, reserving the stock, letting any grit from the mushrooms settle to the bottom of the saucepan. Slice the mushrooms into strips and set aside.
• Thoroughly pat the steaks dry with a paper towel. Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot, about 3 minutes. Drizzle a light coating of oil over each side of steak. Sprinkle the steaks generously with salt and pepper. Insert an instant read digital thermometer into the side of one of the steaks, set it to sound its alarm at 100 degrees F. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil into the pan, this helps create a great crust on the steaks.
• Place the steaks in the pan, leaving room in between each steak. Cook the steaks without moving for 3 minutes. Using tongs, flip the steaks and cook until the thermometer goes off, about another 4 minutes for rare, 5 minutes for medium-rare and 6 minutes for medium. Remove the steaks to a plate and cover loosely with foil. Let the steaks rest for at least 5 minutes while making the pan sauce.
• After removing the steaks from the skillet, add the porcini mushrooms, garlic and shallots. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Add the Marsala wine and the reserved mushroom liquid, being careful to let any grit stay in the bottom of the pan. Bring the sauce to a boil and reduce by half. Turn off the heat and whisk in the butter until it is melted and sauce has thickened. Add the thyme and season with salt and pepper.
• Spoon sauce over steaks, top with the chopped chives. Serve immediately with the Potato Fennel Puree.
• Place the fennel and potatoes into a medium saucepan and cover with the milk and cream. Add the bay leaf and season with a good amount of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the potatoes are tender or until a knife inserts into center of a potato chunk with no resistance, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Once the vegetables are tender, strain them out of the pan using a spider or a slotted spoon. Transfer them into a food processor, add the butter and start the pureeing process. Add just enough of the cooking liquid until the puree becomes smooth and creamy. Season with more salt and pepper.
