Multi Spiced Crusted Tuna Steak With Black Bean Shiraz Butter Sauce Food

HDTV SALISBURY STEAK DINNER

Steps:

• Combine the sirloin, onion, jalapeno, garlic, egg, bread crumbs, and salt and pepper, mixing well with your hands. Form the mixture into 4 (1/2-inch thick) patties, shaped like a steak. Put 1 tablespoon oil into a skillet over medium-high heat and brown the Salisbury steaks on both sides, about 3 to 5 minutes, adding more oil to the pan as needed. Set the browned steaks aside and let them cool.
• Add the mushrooms to the same pan, along with the butter and flour. Cook over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, until the butter has melted and the flour is cooked through. Remove the pan from the heat and pour in the red wine. Return the pan to the heat and cook until the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes more. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• In a microwave-safe plastic TV dinner tray, put the steaks in the largest compartment and cover each with 1/4 of the sauce. Put 1/2 cup mashed potatoes into another section and top with 1 teaspoon butter. Put 1/2 cup vegetables in another section and top with 1 teaspoon butter. Pour enough Microwave Brownie batter into the last section to come up almost to the top of the container and sprinkle over some chocolate chips. Cover the whole thing with plastic wrap and freeze overnight, or up to 1 month.
• When ready to eat, remove from the freezer and cut the plastic wrap away from the brownie compartment. Microwave on high for 6 minutes, then on medium for 3 minutes. (Times will vary depending on the wattage of your microwave.) Let rest for 1 minute, carefully remove the plastic wrap, and eat.
• Put the butter and chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds to melt the chocolate. Set aside.
• In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar.
• In a large bowl sift the flour with the baking powder and salt. Add the egg and chocolate mixtures along with the vanilla and stir well to combine. Follow instructions above.

Steps:

• Cut the loin in 4 equal, thick 'steaks'. Trim off any sinew. On a plate. Mix together all the spices. Season the tuna steaks with salt then dredge them in the spice mix.

Let rest 3 minutes before slicing in half on the bias.
• For the Black Bean-Shiraz Butter Sauce: In a non-reactive saucepan, add the shallots, black beans, ginger and wine. Bring to a simmer and completely reduce the wine. When wine is gone, add the cream and bring to a simmer. Immediately transfer to a blender and blend at high speed. Add the butter, 1 piece at a time. Season with salt and pepper and check for seasoning. Keep warm in a hot water bath. Plating: On large, round plates, place a mound of potatoes in the center. Top with the tuna and top that with the salad. Place the sauce around the tuna and drizzle with a little vinaigrette.

Drain all potatoes. Cut the new potatoes and purple potatoes into quarters. Slice the fingerling potatoes lengthwise.
• Place the beets into the pot of boiling water and cook until fork tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse under cold water and remove the skin. Wear gloves to avoid turning your skin purple. Slice beets into wedges.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the rice wine vinegar, olive oil, honey and Dijon until an emulsion has formed. Season with salt and pepper.

HORSERADISH CRUSTED STEAK WITH PALE ALE DEMI-GLACE AND POTATO CRAB RISSOLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Rinse strip loin to remove residue and season with salt. Combine horseradish and black pepper in a small bowl to make a paste. Place loin in roasting pan and coat entirely with paste. Roast until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 140 to 142 degrees F as measured with an instant-read thermometer, about 30 to 40 minutes, then remove from oven and let rest to carryover cook to about 150 degrees for medium-rare, or cook for whatever length of time is needed (usually specified on your meat thermometer) for your desired level of doneness.
• For the sauce, heat grapeseed oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. When it begins to shimmer, add the beef trimmings and cook for about 10 minutes until you see that the fat is rendered from the meat. You should pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat or, if necessary, supplement with grapeseed oil if you do not have 2 tablespoons in the pan. Add garlic and onion and gently saute until the onion turns translucent. Pour beer into the pan and cook over medium heat until most of the alcohol has evaporated, then stir in the beef base (which has been diluted in water) and tomato paste. Return to a boil, lower the heat to medium-low and allow to reduce by half. Strain into a bowl and gradually whisk in cubed butter. Nest bowl in another bowl filled with hot water and cover to keep warm.
• For the vegetable medley, blanch carrots and haricots verts for 2 minutes in salted water and drain well. Heat the grapeseed oil over medium-high heat in a large saute pan. When it begins to shimmer, add shallot, peppers, carrots and green beans and season with salt and pepper. Saute until the shallot turns translucent and the peppers begin to soften. Remove to a bowl and cover until needed. Reserve the saute pan.
• For the rissole, boil the potatoes until soft, and drain well.
• For the onion rings, heat oil in the reserved saute pan over medium-high heat. Combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt in a small bowl and pour the beer in a stream while whisking constantly. Dip the onion slices into the batter and fry until golden. Drain on paper towels and keep warm. Discard oil and reserve the saute pan.
• Return to the rissole. In the same pan saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the grapeseed oil over medium high heat in a large skillet, reserving the other tablespoon. When it begins to shimmer, saute the white onion until tender. Transfer the onion to the potatoes which have been boiled for the rissole, reserving the saute pan. Season potatoes, to taste, with salt and pepper, and mash together. Fold in the scallions and crab trying to avoid breaking up the crab. Allow to sit until cool enough to handle, then use 3-inch circle cutters as molds and form the potato/crab mixture into circles. In the same pan, heat additional grapeseed oil for the rissole over medium-high heat and sear the potato cakes leaving undisturbed for the first 2 to 3 minutes on each side to let the caramelization process begin and to prevent the cake from breaking apart. When you see the edges of the cake beginning to turn golden brown, flip and sear the other side. Then cook further until the cake is firm. Remove from heat and keep warm.
• Slice roast sirloin. Place a rissole circle on serving plate. Place sliced beef on top and spoon demi-glace over. Top with onion rings. Arrange some vegetable medley around.
