Steak With A Mushroom Guinness And Tarragon Sauce Food

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.

BAVETTE STEAK WITH CHIPS, TARRAGON & MUSHROOM SAUCE & WATERCRESS SALAD

Steps:

• Remove the steak from the fridge at least 1 hr before cooking and let it come to room temperature. The steak should have an even 1cm thickness, so lightly bash any thicker areas with a meat hammer or rolling pin. Scatter the salt over both sides of the steak and set aside.
• To prepare the chips, bring a large pan of water to a simmer and cook them for about 10 mins. Test with a fork after 6 mins - they should be very tender with slightly rough edges. If they're not yet ready, cook for the remaining time and check again. Carefully transfer to a wire rack using a slotted spoon and leave to steam-dry. You want them to be as dry as possible before frying.
• Next, make the sauce. Melt the butter in a small frying pan until foaming, then fry the shallots and garlic until soft, around 5 mins. Add the mushrooms and cook for 1-2 mins more until they release some of their moisture. While the veg is cooking, bring the cream and tarragon stems to a simmer in a small pan. Pour through a sieve into the pan with the mushroom mixture. Stir, then reduce the heat and continue to cook the sauce until slightly thickened and smooth. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• To fry the chips, tip the oil into a deep pan, making sure the pan is no more than two-thirds full, and ideally with a frying basket. Heat the oil to 180C. If you don't have a thermometer, you can check the temperature by dropping in one of the chips - if it sizzles immediately, it's ready. Deep-fry the chips in batches, making sure you don't overcrowd the pan, for 5-6 mins per batch until golden and crisp at the edges. Tip out of the frying basket onto kitchen paper (or remove with a slotted spoon) and leave to drain. Keep warm in a low oven while you cook the steak.
• Heat a heavy-bottomed frying pan over a high heat until smoking hot. Pat the steak dry with kitchen paper (the salt will have drawn out some moisture), then drizzle with the oil. Cook for 3-4 mins on each side for medium-rare, or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a board or plate and leave to rest - keep warm by covering with foil. Pour any resting juices into the sauce.
• Reheat the sauce, then, using a very sharp knife, carve the steak across the grain into 1-2cm slices (or four equal steaks, if you prefer). Drizzle the sauce over the steak, scatter over the tarragon leaves, and serve with the chips and watercress on the side.

SIRLOIN STEAK WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Season steak with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Heat a heavy skillet over high heat until a drop of water immediately sizzles and evaporates when flicked onto the skillet's surface. Pour in oil. Add steak and cook until it is beginning to firm and is hot and slightly pink in the center, about 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
• Remove steak from skillet and set aside. Tent with foil to keep warm. Discard oil remaining in the skillet.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and cook mushrooms, shallot, and garlic, stirring frequently, until softened, about 5 minutes. Pour in white wine and cook until slightly reduced. Pour in beef broth. Reduce heat to low and stir in butter, 1 cube at a time, stirring well after each addition. Stir in tarragon. Season with salt and pepper. Serve mushroom sauce over the steak.

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.
