Pecan-Crusted Beef Tenderloin with Juniper Jus

Posted: 07 Nov 2009 12:58 PM PST

Ingredients :
  • 2 (2.5 pound) well-trimmed center-cut beef tenderloins, not tied
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1 cup pecans, very finely chopped
  • 3 shallots, thinly sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoons dried juniper berries, crushed
  • 1 1/2 cups full-bodied red wine, such as Syrah
  • 1 cup beef demiglace (see Note)

Directions :
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Season the tenderloins all over with salt and pepper. In each of 2 large deep skillets, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the tenderloins to the skillets and cook over high heat until browned all over, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool slightly.
  • In a small bowl, combine the ketchup, mustard and egg yolks and brush the mixture all over the tenderloins. Transfer the meat to a large roasting pan. Sprinkle the pecans all over and press to help them adhere. Roast in the middle of the oven for about 25 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of each tenderloin registers 125 degrees F for medium-rare. Cover the roasts loosely with foil if the coating browns too quickly. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, pour off the fat in one of the skillets used for browning the meat. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add the shallots, garlic and carrot and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and just beginning to brown, about 6 minutes. Add the tomato paste and juniper berries and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook over moderate heat, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet, until the sauce is slightly thickened and reduced to 1/2 cup, about 10 minutes. Add the demiglace and bring to a boil. Strain the sauce through a fine sieve into a small saucepan, pressing hard on the solids. Season the jus with salt and pepper and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.
  • Carve the roasts and serve with the juniper jus on the side.
Yield: 10 servings

Notes :
Beef demiglace is available in the freezer section of large supermarkets and specialty-food shops.

Classic Fajitas

Posted: 07 Nov 2009 12:29 PM PST

Ingredients :
1). 3 medium avocados (preferably Hass)
2). 2 tablespoons minced onion
3). 1 medium clove garlic, minced
4). 1 small jalapeno chile, minced
5). 1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro leaves
6). 1/4 teaspoon table salt
7). 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
8). 2 tablespoons lime juice
9). 2 pounds vine-ripened tomatoes, diced small
10). 1/2 cup tomato juice
11). 1 small chipotle chile, minced
12). 1 medium red onion, diced small
13). 1 medium clove garlic, minced
14). 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
15). 1/2 cup lime juice
16). Table salt
17). 1 (2.5 pound) flank steak
18). 1/4 cup lime juice
19). Table salt and ground black pepper
20). 1 very large onion, peeled and cut into half-inch slices
21). 2 very large red bell peppers or green bell peppers, cored, seeded, and cut into large wedges
22). 16 (10 inch) plain flour tortillas

Directions :
1). Chunky Guacamole: Halve one avocado, remove pit, and scoop flesh into medium bowl. Mash flesh lightly with onion, garlic, jalapeno, cilantro, salt, and cumin (if using) with tines of a fork until just combined.
2). Halve and pit remaining two avocados, and prepare. Gently scoop out avocado into bowl with mashed avocado mixture.
3). Sprinkle lime juice over diced avocado and mix entire contents of bowl lightly with fork until combined but still chunky. Adjust seasoning with salt, if necessary, and serve. (Can be covered with plastic wrap, pressed directly onto surface of mixture, and refrigerated up to one day. Return guacamole to room temperature, removing plastic wrap at the last moment, before serving).
4). Classic Red Table Salsa: Mix all ingredients, including salt to taste, in medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate to blend flavors, at least 1 hour or up to 5 days.
5). For Charcoal Grill: Ignite about 7 quarts charcoal and burn until coals are completely covered with thin coating of light-gray ash, 20 to 30 minutes. Pile coals on one-half of grill bottom, position grill rack and heat until very hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill surface for 2 seconds). For Gas Grill: Turn all burners on gas grill to high, close lid, and heat grill until hot, 10 to 15 minutes.
6). Fajitas: Generously sprinkle both sides of steak with lime juice, salt and pepper; place directly over coals or on gas grill grate and grill until well-seared and dark brown on first side, 5 to 7 minutes (4 to 6 minutes, covered, on gas grill). Flip steak using tongs; continue grilling on second side until interior of meat is slightly less done than you want it to be when you eat it, 2 to 5 minutes (3 to 5 minutes on gas grill) more for medium-rare (depending on heat of fire and thickness of steak). Transfer meat to cutting board; cover loosely with foil, and let rest 5 to 10 minutes. Slice very thin, on bias against the grain; adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper.
7). When charcoal fire has died down to medium or gas grill burners are adjusted to medium (you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill surface for 4 seconds), grill onions and peppers, turning occasionally, until onions are lightly charred, about 6 minutes, and peppers are streaked with dark grill marks, about 10 minutes. Remove onions and peppers from grill and cut peppers into long, thin strips; set aside. Arrange tortillas around edge of grill; heat until just warmed, about 20 seconds per side. (Do not dry out tortillas or they get brittle; wrap tortillas in towel to keep warm.) Remove to platter; set aside.
8). Serving Fajitas: Arrange sliced meat and vegetables on large platter; serve immediately, with tortillas, salsa, and guacamole passed separately.

Yield: 8 servings

Notes:
Although it was originally made with skirt steak, this combination of steak and vegetables grilled and then wrapped in warm tortillas is the dish that put flank steak on the culinary map in the United States. The ingredients go on the grill in order as the fire dies down: steak over a hot fire, vegetables over a medium fire, and tortillas around the edge of the medium to low fire just to warm them.

Hungarian Beef-and-Potato Soup

Posted: 07 Nov 2009 12:16 PM PST

Ingredients :
- 1 pound ground beef

Linguine with Squash Noodles and Pine Nuts

Posted: 07 Nov 2009 10:42 AM PST

INGREDIENTS :
  • 1/3 cup pine nuts
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 medium shallots, very thinly sliced
  • 1 medium lemon, zest finely grated and juice reserved separately
  • 3 medium zucchini
  • 2 medium yellow squash or gold zucchini
  • 12 ounces linguine (3/4 of a 1-pound box)
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh herbs (use a mixture of chives, parsley, chervil, tarragon, and basil), plus more for garnish
  • 2 1/2 ounces ricotta salata cheese, finely shredded or grated (about 1 cup), plus extra shavings for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS :
1. Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Heat a small frying pan over medium heat, add pine nuts, and toast, shaking the pan occasionally, until they are golden, about 3 minutes. Remove nuts from the pan and set aside.
2. Heat butter and oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once butter foams, add shallots and a pinch of salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots are soft and translucent, about 7 minutes. Stir in toasted pine nuts and lemon zest, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and remove from heat.
3. Trim ends off of the zucchini and yellow squash. Using a julienne peeler or a mandoline, cut the skin and first layer of flesh from each squash piece in long ribbons, or "noodles." (You should have about 3 cups.) Alternatively, you can use a knife to slice the skin and first layer of flesh off each side of the squash (creating four 1/8-inch-thick slices), and then julienne each piece into 1/8-inch-wide ribbons. Reserve remaining squash for another use.
4. Cook linguine according to the package directions. When about 1 minute of cooking time remains, add squash noodles to the pot. When linguine is cooked and squash is tender, drain well in a colander and then return to the empty pot.
5. Add shallot mixture, lemon juice, herbs, and 1/2 of the grated cheese. Season with salt and lots of freshly ground pepper, and toss well. Transfer pasta to a serving platter, and garnish with more fresh herbs and the cheese shavings. Pass extra cheese on the side.
