Béarnaise Steaks With Mushrooms Recipes

BORDELAISE SAUCE WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and shallot, and cook until the shallot has softened and turned translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter, then stir in the mushrooms once the butter has melted. Cook and stir the mushrooms until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
• Pour in the beef broth, wine, and Worcestershire sauce; season with the bay leaf and thyme, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Once simmering, season to taste with salt and pepper, reduce the heat to medium-low, and continue to cook, uncovered until the sauce reduces slightly, about 30 minutes. Dissolve the cornstarch in the cold water, and stir into the simmering sauce until thickened. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

STEAK WITH BERNAISE

Steps:

• 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.

STEAK FRITES WITH BéARNAISE-ISH

Steps:

• Set the steak out at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a cooling rack or paper towel and set aside.
• Place the potatoes into a Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed pot. Cover the potatoes with about 1 centimeter (1/2 inch) of canola oil, place a lid on the pot and bring to a boil over high heat; this should take about 5 minutes. When boiling, remove the lid and cook, without stirring, for 10 minutes.
• Carefully stir the fries, gently scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any that are stuck and cook for another 10 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Remove the fries from the oil and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Season immediately with salt and transfer to the oven to keep warm.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the steak dry with paper towel. Rub with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Add to the pan and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Add the butter into the pan along with one clove of unpeeled garlic and 2 sprigs of tarragon. Carefully tilt the pan slightly and spoon the butter over the steak for 1 to 2 minutes for medium, or until the steak is cooked to your liking. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, peel and mince the remaining garlic, finely chop the remaining 2 sprigs of tarragon and add to a bowl along with the mayonnaise and lemon juice, to taste.
• To serve, cut the steak into 1-centimeter (1/2-inch) thick slices and transfer to two plates along with the fries, a scattering of chives and a dollop of béarnaise-ish sauce. Season with a bit more salt and pepper.

STEAK WITH BéARNAISE SAUCE AND WATERCRESS, ROCKET AND SHALLOT SALAD

Steps:

• Season the steaks with salt and pepper and set aside to come to room temperature.
• For the béarnaise sauce, melt the butter in a small saucepan over a low heat. In a separate pan, make a reduction by heating the vinegar, shallots, tarragon stalks and peppercorns and cook until you have reduced by half. Strain through a sieve and allow to cool.
• Whisk the egg yolks and vinegar reduction together in a glass bowl over a bain marie, until incorporated. Gradually drizzle in the melted butter, whisking all the time, until thickened. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice, to taste. Stir in the chopped tarragon leaves and season to taste. Set aside.
• Heat a large frying pan or griddle pan until hot and heat the oil. Add the steaks and cook until coloured on each side. Add the butter and cook until medium-rare, or to your liking (about 2½ minutes on each side for medium-rare). Leave to rest.
• Prepare the salad by mixing the watercress, rocket and shallot in a bowl. Dress with the vinaigrette.
• To serve, arrange the salad alongside the steaks and serve with the béarnaise on the side.
