Beef And Horseradish Bonbons Food

ROSE BEEF BITES WITH HORSERADISH CREAM

Steps:

• 1 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Slice the baguette into 18 thin circles. Brush both sides of each slice with melted butter. Place the baguette circles on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 7-10 minutes, turning halfway through, until brown, then let cool.
• 2 To make the horseradish cream, combine the crème fraîche or sour cream with the horseradish and season to taste. When the baguette circles have cooled, place a spoonful of horseradish cream on top of each one.
• 3 Cut each slice of beef in half lengthwise, then roll it up to form a pretty rose spiral. Place a roll of beef on top of each baguette circle, then garnish with watercress leaves.

BEEF AND HORSERADISH BONBONS

Steps:

• Cut each slice of beef into 8 strips.
• Combine butter, herbs and horseradish. Brush a sheet of phyllo with the butter mixture, top with another sheet of phyllo and brush with more butter mixture.
• Cut the pastry into quarters and each quarter into quarters again.
• Top each quarter with a strip of beef; roll up from narrow sides and pinch ends to form bonbon shapes.
• Repeat with the remaining pastry, butter and beef.
• Place bonbons on a lightly greased tray and bake in a hot oven for about 8 minutes until crisp and brown. Serve hot.

ROAST BEEF AND HORSERADISH FINGER SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the grill. Mix together the sour cream, horseradish and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Brush the bread slice with the olive oil. Place the bread on a grill and grill for 2 minutes per side, until the bread becomes crunchy. Remove the bread from the grill and cut each slice in half. On 12 of the bread halves, spread some of the horseradish sauce. Top the sauce with 2 ounces of roast beef. Top the beef with 1 leaf of Romaine lettuce. Place the remaining bread halves on top of the Romaine.

ROAST PRIME RIB OF BEEF WITH HORSERADISH CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Lay the beef in a large roasting pan with the bone side down. (The ribs act as a natural roasting rack.) In a small bowl mash together the garlic, horseradish, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and olive oil to make a paste. Massage the paste generously over the entire roast. Put the pan in the oven and roast the beef until the internal temperature of the meat registers 125 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer (medium-rare), 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove the beef to a carving board and let it rest for 20 minutes before carving.
• Pour off some of the pan drippings and place pan on stovetop over medium-high heat.
• Add the white wine and bring to a simmer, scraping the bits on the bottom of the pan. Reduce the wine by half. Whisk in the flour, then add the broth and continue to cook, whisking until sauce thickens into a gravy, about 10 minutes.
• Serve with Scalloped Potato Gratin and Roasted Red Onions.
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 1 sprig fresh thyme
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• Butter
• 2 russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch thick slices
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for broiling
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a saucepan, heat up the cream with a sprig of thyme, chopped garlic and nutmeg.
• While cream is heating up, butter a flameproof casserole dish. Place a layer of potato in an overlapping pattern and season with salt and pepper. Remove cream from heat, then pour a little over the potatoes. Top with some grated Parmesan. Make 2 more layers. Bake, uncovered, for 45 minutes. Sprinkle some more Parmesan and broil until cheese browns, about 5 minutes.
