Boeuf A La Hatienne Haitian Beef With Tomatoes Peppers Recipes

BOEUF à LA MODE RECIPE, BAVARIAN-STYLE ROAST BEEF PREPARATION

Steps:

• Wash, peel and chop the root vegetables and cut the leek into leaves. Peel and prepare the garlic and onions. Boil the chopped vegetables, herbs and aromatics with the garlic in a large pot with red wine, water and red wine vinegar.
• Wash the braised beef and pat dry, then place in the cool stain. Let the meat mature in the fridge for 2-4 days, turning twice a day.
• Remove the beef from the stain and drain.
• Pass the vegetables through a sieve and prepare the staining liquid and vegetables for the preparation of the sauce.
• Preheat oven to 180°C at top and bottom heat. Fry the prepared meat on all sides in a large pan with clarified butter at high heat and let it take on its colour. Remove the fried meat from the pot.
• Pour the drained vegetables from the stain into the hot pot and fry over high heat. Stir well the whole time with a spatula, the vegetables may take on a light brown colour. Add the tomato paste to the roasted vegetables.
• Brown the roasted vegetables with the tomato puree at high heat for about five minutes. The colour changes from red to brown-red. Using a spatula, scrape the roasting substances off the bottom of the pot to produce the desired roasting substances for the taste and colour of the sauce.
• Deglaze the roast with the stain, add the veal stock and add the mixed starch to the sauce. You can later reduce the sauce to the desired consistency. Place the meat in the sauce. Close the pot with a lid, roast in the oven with a lid for 1.5-2 hours until soft
• Check cooking degree of meat by pricking with a meat fork. If the meat gives slightly after the roast beef is ready. Remove the meat from the sauce and prepare extra.
• Drain the sauce through a fine sieve. I use a hair sieve. You could also use a passing cloth, which you boil in water beforehand.
• Add salt, pepper, sugar, butter and cognac to the sauce on the stove to the desired thickness and mix well.
• Cut the meat into slices. I like to prepare the roast one day earlier, cut the cooled meat into even slices. Heat the slices of meat in the sauce before serving. You can try the meat first. If it's not soft enough, simply simmer in the sauce for a few minutes.
• Prepare the side dishes: Cook the spaetzle and toss it in butter, prepare the vegetables and put them on the plate.
• Heat the braised beef in the sauce, arrange the slices of meat on warm plates. Serve the prepared spaetzle and vegetables. Mix the sauce, add and serve. Enjoy your meal!

BOEUF à LA NIçOISE: BRAISED BEEF STEW WITH RED WINE, TOMATO, OLIVES, AND BUTTERED NOODLES

Steps:

• Toss the beef in a large bowl with the cracked black pepper, 1 tablespoon thyme, the garlic, and the orange zest. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Take the meat out of the refrigerator 45 minutes before cooking. After 15 minutes, season it on all sides with 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons salt. Reserve the garlic and orange zest.
• Preheat the oven to 325°F.
• Heat a large Dutch oven over high heat for 3 minutes. Pour in 3 tablespoons olive oil and wait a minute or two, until the pan is very hot and almost smoking. Place the meat in the pan, being careful not to crowd it. (You will need to do this in batches.) Sear the meat until well browned on all sides. (This step is very important and should not be rushed; it will probably take 15 to 20 minutes.) As the batches of meat are browned, remove them to a baking sheet.
• Turn the heat down to medium and add the onion, fennel, and carrot. Stir with a wooden spoon, scraping up all the crusty bits left in the pan. Add the thyme sprigs, bay leaf, and the reserved garlic and orange zest. Cook 6 to 8 minutes, until the vegetables are caramelized.
• Add the crushed tomatoes and cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly to coat the vegetables. Add the balsamic vinegar and reduce to a glaze. Pour in the red wine and reduce it by half (about 5 minutes). Add the beef stock and bring to a boil.
• Add the meat to the pot. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and a tight-fitting lid if you have one. Braise in the oven about 3 hours.
• While the meat is in the oven, cut the whole tomatoes in half lengthwise. Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil into a baking dish in which the tomatoes will fit snugly. Place the tomatoes in the dish, cut side up, and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon thyme. Roast the tomatoes in the same oven for 1 1/2 hours, until they are shriveled and slightly caramelized on top.
• To check the meat for doneness, carefully remove the lid and foil, being aware of the hot steam. Spoon a piece of meat out of the pan and press it with your thumb or a spoon. If it's done, it will yield easily and almost fall apart. If it's not super-tender, cover again and return the pot to the oven. When in doubt, taste it!
• Take the pan out of the oven and uncover completely. Using a ladle, skim off the fat that rises to the top.
• Turn the oven up to 400°F.
• Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil.
• Ladle half the braising juices into a large sauté pan and add the olives. Return the meat to the oven for 15 minutes to caramelize.
• When the water boils, cook the pasta to al dente and drain. Transfer the noodles to the pan with the braising juices and olives. Over medium-low heat, toss the noodles in the juices to coat well and bring to a low simmer. Stir in the butter, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Quickly add the spinach and a cup chopped parsley, and toss for just 1 minute, until the spinach begins to wilt.
• Transfer the pasta to a large warm platter. Spoon the meat and its juices over the noodles. Tuck the roasted tomatoes in and around the noodles and meat. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons chopped parsley over the top.
