WARM FILET MIGNON WITH SESAME MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Place star anise, soy sauce, garlic, sugar and rice vinegar in a small skillet. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for a minute or until only 1/4 cup remains. Strain out star anise and reserve. If you are using five spice powder instead of star anise, add it to the liquid now. Let it cool while you boil the beef. Bring 3 quarts water to a boil. Add beef and boil for 15 to 18 minutes. (depending if you like it very rare or just rare.) Remove the beef from water and let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes while you finish mayonnaise. Mix cooled reduced star anise liquid with mustard and mayonnaise. Add sesame oil to taste, 1/2 teaspoon salt and crushed red pepper. Thin mayonnaise with just a teaspoonful of water to make it spreadable.
• When the beef is cool, slice it vertically, with the grain, into 1/2-inch wide slices. Then slice the long slices, across the grain into 3-inch long by 1/2-inch wide strips. Spread some mayonnaise on a dinner plate. Center a clump of watercress in the center of your plate. Surround watercress with a wreath of beef slices and sprinkle meat with coarse salt, freshly ground black pepper and chives. Drizzle more mayonnaise on beef edges if you wish (or for a more professional look, transfer mayonnaise to squirt bottle to drizzle over beef edges)

CHICKEN WITH SESAME MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Combine stock and wine in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer. Add 2 teaspoons of sesame oil and blend well. Taste for seasoning; the stock should be quite salty.
• Add the chicken breasts, and simmer slowly for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let the breasts continue to cook in the warm stock. Check frequently; the breasts are ready when they are just past pink on the inside.
• Remove from stock and cut into broad, thin slices. Let cool.
• To prepare the mayonnaise, place egg yolks, mustard and lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor. Blend quickly. With the motor running, begin adding the sunflower oil drop by drop. After 1/3 of the oil is added, continue adding in a thin stream and add the remaining 2 teaspoons of sesame oil. Taste for seasoning.
• In a bowl, combine the chicken and the mayonnaise. Reserve in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Place 2 tablespoons sesame seeds in a small roasting pan. Place under a hot broiler for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Garnish chicken with sesame seeds.
• Suggested drink: Hidalalgo Manzanilla, La Gitana
• *RAW EGG WARNING
• Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.
