Mortons Steakhouse Copycat Recipes

MORTON'S STEAKHOUSE SHRIMP ALEXANDER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500.
• Combine breadcrumbs, shallots, parsley, and garlic. You may wish to add some salt and pepper to taste.
• Peel, devein, and butterfly shrimp.
• Dip shrimp in butter (butter should be warm, not hot) then in breadcrumb mixture, and
• Place shrimp in a baking dish or oven-proof pan with sides. Pour remaining butter into the pan so the shrimp can cook in the butter.
• Bake shrimp at 500 degrees for 5 minutes or until done and the breading is lightly browned.
• Place wine, lemon juice, and shallots into a small pan. Heat over medium heat.
• When the wine has reduced to only a tablespoon, reduce the heat to the lowest setting on your stove. Start to add in small nobs of butter, stirring constantly until the butter melts.
• Stir the sauce continually, adding in more butter only after the last addition has melted and the sauce has thickened.
• The sauce will be done when the sauce has thickened and is a pale yellow. Do not allow the sauce to get too hot or it will break.

LONGHORN STEAKHOUSE MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel and cook potatoes until soft with preferred method. I personally used my Instant Pot using this Instant Pot Mashed potato recipe (I just stopped after I drained the water, as this recipe is different). I peel the potatoes and quarter them, cover with water (or you can just do two cups) and cook on manual high for 7 minutes.
• If you cook in a pot, bring the water to a boil, add potatoes, and then bring down to a simmer. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until a fork goes through easily.
• Drain excess water. Set aside one potato in a bowl.
• Mix together the softened butter with the minced garlic.
• Add the heavy cream, butter, and sour cream to the potatoes and mix until pureed with a hand mixer. You may have to add more heavy cream to get them REALLY smooth.
• With the potato you set aside, mash coarsely.

MORTON'S LEGENDARY HOT CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Generously butter the six 6-inch souffle cups and sprinkle each with granulated sugar.
• Tap out the excess sugar.
• In the top of a double boiler set over barely simmering water, melt the butter and chocolate together.
• Remove the top of the double boiler pan from the heat.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and set on low speed, beat the egg yolks and eggs for about 2 minutes, or until light and smooth.
• With the mixer running, pour the melted chocolate into the bowl and mix for about 2 minutes longer.
• Put the confectioner's sugar and flour in a fine-mesh sieve and sprinkle it into the chocolate mixture.
• With the mixer on medium speed, beat for 30 seconds, or until well mixed.
• Pour the batter into the prepared souffle cups, leaving about 1/4 inch of space below the rim.
• Set the souffle cups on a baking sheet and back for 18 to 20 minutes, or until puffed and about 1 inch higher than the rim.
• The centers will be soft but not sticky.
• Remove the cakes from the oven and immediately invert each onto a serving plate.
• Remove the cup and garnish each plate with three raspberries and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

STEAK MARINADE RECIPE FROM MORTON'S RESTAURANT

Steps:

• see above

MORTON'S THE STEAKHOUSE CHOPPED SALAD

Steps:

• To prepare vinaigrette: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the vinegar and 1/3 cup cup of water.
• Whisk the mustard and salad dressing mix until well mixed.
• Add the olive oil and whisk until the dressing is emulsified.
• Let the dressing rest for a few minutes before using so that the flavors can blend. Refrigerate in a tightly-lidded glass or rigid plastic container for up to 7 days and whisk before using.
• Note: If you use Good Seasons brand mix, two packets work well.
• To prepare salad: Cut the iceberg and romaine lettuces into ½-inch squares. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
• Cut the artichoke hearts into eighths and the hearts of palm into 1/4-inch-long pieces and add to the lettuce.
• Peel the avocado and remove the pit. Cut the avocado into ½-inch cubes and add to the lettuce.
• Crumble the blue cheese over the salad. Sprinkle the bacon bits, chopped egg, onion, and tomato over the salad.
• Add the vinaigrette, toss well, and serve.
• Note: To hard-cook eggs, put them in a saucepan with cold water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover, remove from the heat, and set aside for 15 minutes, during which time the eggs will harden. This is a better method than cooking the eggs in boiling water. There is less chance of the eggs cracking.

CHICKEN CHRISTOPHER - MORTON'S STEAKHOUSE RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• BREAD CRUMB MIXTURE: Combine all ingredients and set aside. CHICKEN: Halve chicken breasts, making 2 roughly 3-inch square pieces. Pound each piece 1/4 inch thick. Season pieces with salt and pepper. Spoon flour into a rimmed plate. Beat eggs in a shallow bowl. Place Alexander bread crumbs in another shallow plate or dish. Dip each chicken piece in flour, covering it completely, then in the egg, then in the Alexander bread crumbs. Set aside on wax paper or a wire rack. (Make your garlic butter sauce now.) Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large saute pan set over medium-high heat. Heat until butter foams. When foam subsides, lay 2 or 3 chicken pieces flat in the pan and cook until browned on both sides (about 3 minutes on each side -- the chicken will cook quickly because it's so thin). Set aside cooked chicken while you brown the other pieces. Add remaining tablespoon butter, and more if needed. GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE: In a large saucepan set over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add shallots and garlic and cook until soft. Add wine. Increase heat to medium-high, bring wine to a boil and allow it to cook until only about 2 tablespoons of liquid remain in the pan. Add cream, lower heat to medium, and cook until liquid steams. Cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes. Do not let liquid boil. (Note: You can stop at this point and let the mixture sit until you're ready to proceed with the recipe. When you're ready, reheat it and stir in the butter). Reduce heat to low, and add the remaining butter (somewhat softened), a little at a time. Use a wire whisk to whip the sauce and keep it smooth, making sure mixture is well-blended before adding more butter. When butter has been whipped in, add lemon juice, parsley, salt and pepper. Serve at once. The recipe makes about 2 1/2 cups. Leftovers can be reheated, but the butter will have to be re-whisked, and the texture is never as creamy as when the sauce is first made. To Serve: Set 2 pieces of chicken at one side of a plate. Place 1 serving pasta on the other side. Pour garlic butter sauce over all. Repeat with remaining chicken and pasta. Ladle sauce over chicken and pasta. Notes: Have the finished Alexander bread crumbs ready, and begin the garlic butter sauce before you saute the chicken.

MORTON'S THE STEAKHOUSE CARROT CAKE RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Cake: Preheat oven to 350. Generously gutter and flour 2 - 9" or 3 - 8" pans. In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. In a large bowl (or stand mixer) whisk the oil, butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time until well blended. Add the vanilla and buttermilk and beat until blended. Stir half the flour mixture into the batter. Add the pineapple, carrots, coconut and 1 cup of the walnuts. Mix well with spatula. Add the remaining flour and fold with a spatula. Divide the batter evenly between the pans. Bake for about 40 minutes or until sides of cake pull away from the pan and a toothpick comes out clean. Glaze: In a small saucepan, mix sugar, buttermilk, butter, corn syrup and baking soda until well blended. Set the pan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring until heated and the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla. Set aside and keep warm. Remove the cakes from the oven and cool in the pans on a wire rack. Using a toothpick, poke about 20 holes in the top crust of each cake (don't go more than halfway through). Whisk glaze and pour evenly over the cake layers. Let the cakes cool completely, then cover them with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 2-8 hours. Frosting: In a stand mixer with paddle attachment on, beat butter and cream cheese for about minutes or until fluffy. Add the sugar, juice, zest and vanilla. Mix on low until the sugar is mixed then increase to medium and beat for about a minute or until frosting is smooth. Assembly: Remove the cakes from the fridge and invert one on your cake surface glazed side down. Put about 1/3 of the frosting on the center of the cake layer and spread. Place the other layer on top of the frosted layer, glazed side down and frost. Decorate with remaining nuts if you like.
