Tarragon Mushroom Steak Sauce Recipes

FILET MIGNON STEAKS WITH TARRAGON MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Heat canola oil in a medium heavy oven-proof skillet. Meanwhile, sprinkle steaks with kosher salt and pepper. When oil shimmers, add steaks, and cook until the bottom is deeply browned, about 5 minutes. Turn steaks over, insert remote oven-proof inta-read thermometer into the center of one steak (if using) and transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast until the steaks are 130 degrees F for medium-rare 8 to 11 minutes. Transfer steaks to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
• Place skillet over medium- high heat. Use caution the handle will be hot!! Add shallot and thyme to the skillet, and cook, stirring until the shallot is browned, about 30 seconds. Add vermouth and let simmer until almost reduced by one half. Stir the cornstarch into the broth and add to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, stirring. Cook until slightly thickened and reduced to about ½ cup. Remove from the heat.
• Meanwhile while steaks roast, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites, mushrooms and salt, and cook, stirring occasionally until the mushrooms are browning and the juices evaporate, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in scallion greens and tarragon and remove from the heat.
• Serve steaks with the vermouth sauce and mushrooms.

STEAK WITH A MUSHROOM GUINNESS AND TARRAGON SAUCE

Steps:

• Put a nice dollop of olive oil in a pan and fry leek and mushrooms until the leek is caramelised.
• Add stock, Guinness, tomato paste, tarragon and corn flour to the pan and stir to combine all of the ingredients. Ensure that the corn flour is added while the sauce is still relatively cool. Otherwise you'll get a lumpy sauce. Bring to a heat where the sauce is simmering. Reduce sauce until you have the consistency of a gravy. Stir regularly. Takes around 30 minutes.
• Around 15 minutes into reducing your sauce, depending on how you like you steaks, put the steaks into a pan and cook to your liking. I usually put olive oil in a pan and bring to a high heat, lightly salt the steak and then add to the pan to get a nice sear on it then immediately reduce the heat. Then Cook on the one side without turning until juices rise on top then turn up the heat and flip the steak to give a nice sear on the other side for around 20 - 30 seconds. I then put the steaks aside to rest.
• once sauce has a nice consistency of gravy I put the steak on the plate and put the mushroom sauce over the top. Enjoy.

TARRAGON STEAK SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine wine, vinegar, and herbs in a double boiler.
• Cook until it is reduced by half.
• Scramble the egg yolks and salt in a blender or food processor (I prefer a blender).
• Add the wine/herb mixture to the eggs in the blender/processor.
• Now melt the butter in a saucepan until it is very hot bubbly.
• Turn on the blender/processor, and pour very hot butter through the cork in the blender lid or through the top of the food processor (you must do this while the machine is blending!) This will cook the egg mixture. Whip until everything is mixed and smooth like a mayonnaise.
• Serve right away, usually on the side for dipping, or you can spoon some on top of the steak.
