Filet Mignon With Blender Bearnaise Food

FILET MIGNON WITH BLENDER BEARNAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Take the beef tenderloins and drizzle with olive oil. Season well all over with plenty of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper all over. Make sure they are at room temperature before cooking.
• Place a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat on the stove top, add a small amount of oil to the pan. When oil shimmers, place tenderloins in pan. When juices begin to rise to the surface of the meat, about 2-3 minutes, flip steaks with tongs and sear the other side for another couple minutes and check doneness with an instant-read thermometer.
• Thermometer when inserted into the thickest part (from the side) of the meat should read 135 degrees F for medium-rare.
• Remove from pan and tent with foil while you let it rest for 5 minutes before cutting into.
• Make the bearnaise reduction first. In a small saucepan, combine half of the tarragon, shallots, vinegar and wine over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. Blend yolks and bearnaise reduction together in a blender. With the blender running, add ⅓ of the butter in a slow steady stream. Once it emulsifies, turn the blender speed up to high and add the remaining butter. Add the remaining half bunch of fresh tarragon leaves, season with salt and pepper and give it 1 more buzz. Set aside in a warm spot to hold the sauce.

BLENDER BEARNAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter until bubbling hot. In a blender, add the vinegar and egg yolks and blend on high speed for several seconds. With the blender still running, remove the center lid of the blender. Pour the hot butter in a thin, steady stream into the whirling egg mixture. Add the tarragon and shallot and continue to blend. Add salt and pepper to taste.

BLENDER BEARNAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine wine, vinegar, tarragon, onion, and black pepper in a skillet; bring to a boil and cook until almost all the liquid is evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in microwave until fully melted, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Place tarragon mixture, egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper in a blender; pulse until combined, 5 to 10 seconds. Remove the small hole cover from lid; stream butter into egg mixture while blender is running until sauce is completely blended and smooth.

STEAK WITH BERNAISE

Steps:

• For the sauce, put the Champagne vinegar, white wine, shallots, 1 tablespoon tarragon leaves, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until the mixture is reduced to a few tablespoons. Cool slightly.
• Place the cooled mixture with the egg yolks and 1 teaspoon salt in the jar of a blender and blend for 30 seconds. With blender on, slowly pour the hot butter through the opening in the lid. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of tarragon leaves and blend only for a second. If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon of white wine to thin. Keep at room temperature until serving.
• Season the steaks liberally with salt and coarsely ground black pepper on both sides. Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a large saute pan over high heat until it's almost smoking, then sear the steaks on each side for 1 minute. Lower the heat to low and cook the steaks for about 7 to 10 minutes, turning once, until very rare in the middle. Remove to a plate, cover tightly with aluminum foil and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Serve with the bernaise sauce on the side.
• Note: To make the sauce in advance, prepare an hour before serving and allow it to sit in the blender. Before serving, add 1 tablespoon of the hottest tap water and blend for a few seconds.

• Take the beef tenderloin and drizzle with olive oil. Season well all over with plenty of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper all over. Make sure it is at room temperature before cooking. Place a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat on the stove top and sear tenderloin all over. Place the whole pan in the oven and roast the tenderloin for 15-17 minutes (depending on how thick your tenderloin is). An internal thermometer when inserted into the thickest part of the meat should read 130 degrees F for medium-rare. If you want it medium, cook for a further 3 minutes in the oven. Remove from the oven and tent with foil while you let it rest for 10 minutes before cutting.
• Make the bearnaise reduction first. In a small saucepan, combine half of the tarragon, shallots, vinegar and wine over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

MARTHA STEWART'S BEARNAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine vinegar, wine, shallots, black pepper, and 1 1/2 teaspoons tarragon in a small saucepan.
• Cook over medium heat until reduced to 1 tablespoon, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Add egg yolks and 1 tablespoon of water to reduced vinegar mixture.
• Whisk until thick and pale, about 2 minutes.
• Set pan over moderately low heat and continue to whisk at reasonable speed reaching all over bottom and insides of pan, where eggs tend to overcook.
• To moderate heat, frequently move pan off burner for a few seconds, then back on.
• As they cook, the eggs will become frothy and increase in volume, then thicken.
• When the bottom of the pan is visible in the streaks left by the whisk and the eggs are thick and smooth, remove from heat.
• By spoonfuls, add soft butter, whisking constantly to incorporate each addition.
• As the emulsion forms, add butter in slightly larger amounts, always whisking until fully absorbed.
• Continue incorporating butter until sauce has thickened to consistency desired.
• Season with salt, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped tarragon and, if desired, pepper.
• Add a few droplets of lemon juice if necessary.

FILET MIGNON BéARNAISE WITH ROASTED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450˚F. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet lined with foil, and set it aside.
• Heat a large cast-iron pan over high heat. Season the steaks with salt and pepper to taste. When the pan is hot, spray it with cooking spray and add the steaks. Sear the steaks until dark golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side.
• Transfer the steaks to the wire rack, place the baking sheet in the oven, and roast for 4 to 5 minutes for medium-rare. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, and tent it with foil to keep the steaks warm.
• Respray the cast-iron pan generously with cooking spray, and return it to high heat. Add the cauliflower and cook, stirring occasionally, until it starts to brown, about 4 minutes. Season the cauliflower with salt and pepper to taste, transfer the pan to the oven, and roast until the cauliflower is tender, about 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the vinegar, wine, shallots, and tarragon in a medium saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until the liquid has reduced by about half.
• In a small bowl, whisk the chicken broth into the cornstarch. Whisk the mixture into the vinegar mixture and cook, whisking constantly, until the sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the yogurt.
• Season the béarnaise sauce with salt and pepper to taste, if desired. Serve the steaks and cauliflower with the sauce.
