Prime Rib With Shoe String Fries With Cabrales Blue Cheese Dip Recipes

PRIME RIB WITH GARLIC AND BLUE CHEESE DRESSING

Steps:

• Let the roast stand at room temperature 30-45 minutes before grilling.
• In a food processor, finely mince the garlic, rosemary, basil, salt, and pepper; add in the mustard and olive oil; process to form a paste.
• Smear the paste all over the top and sides of the roast.
• Grill, bone side down, over Indirect Medium Heat until cooked to desired doneness, 1 ½ to 2 hours for medium-rare.
• Transfer the roast to a cutting board and remove the bones.
• Loosely cover the roast with foil and let rest for 20-30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the dressing: add the cream and garlic in a medium saucepan.
• Bring the cream to a boil over medium-high heat, then decrease the heat to a simmer and cook until the cream coats the back of a spoon, 5-10 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat; add in the cheese, stirring to help it blend into the cream.
• Season with pepper to taste; carve meat into slices.
• Serve warm with the dressing.

STEAK-CUT OVEN FRIES WITH BLUE CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• To make the blue cheese dip: In a food processor, combine the mayonnaise, blue cheese, buttermilk, shallot, lemon juice and zest, Worcestershire, salt, and celery seed. Pulse until evenly combined but still slightly chunky. Stir in the parsley and season with pepper, to taste. Transfer the dip to a bowl and refrigerate for the flavors to come together while you make the fries.
• To make the fries: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F. Put a baking sheet on the center rack and preheat for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut the potatoes lengthwise into wedges by eighths, leaving the skins on. In a large bowl toss the wedges with the olive oil.
• Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and arrange the potato wedges cut-side down on it, keeping them evenly spaced. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the remaining oil in the bowl over the potatoes (it helps them get crispy). Bake until browned and crisp, about 30 minutes. Transfer the fries to a serving platter and season with salt, to taste. Serve immediately with the blue cheese dip.

SHOE STRING FRIES

Steps:

• Heat about 2-inches of oil in a large, heavy bottomed pot over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 365 degrees F. Line a pan with paper towels.
• While the oil heats slice the potatoes into shoestring fries with the thin julienne attachment of a hand-held mandolin or vegetable slicer. Swish the cut potatoes in a bowl of tepid water, and then spin them as dry as possible in a salad spinner. Spread them on towels, and blot with more towels-you want the potatoes bone dry so that they don't spatter in the hot oil.
• Increase the heat to medium-high, and working in batches, carefully add the potatoes to the oil and fry until brown and crispy, about 4 minutes. Scoop the fries from the oil with a slotted spoon, and drain on the prepared pan. Repeat with the rest of the potatoes, making sure the oil returns to 365 degrees F. before adding each batch. Season with salt and serve.
