Beef With A Stilton Souffle Recipes

Steps:

• Make a foil collar for a 4-cup soufflé dish to extend an inch above the rim. Grease inside of dish and foil with 1 tablespoon butter. Dust with bread crumbs.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Melt the remaining butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Sauté celery until tender but not brown. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute.
• In a small saucepan, heat the milk until steam rises. Whisk it into the celery and cook over medium heat until it becomes a thick sauce, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Whisk in the egg yolks one at a time.
• In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt to soft peaks. Fold a spoonful of the whites into the sauce. Fold in the cheese, and then the remaining whites. Pour into the prepared dish, place in the oven, lower the temperature to 350 degrees and bake until the soufflé has risen, and the top is brown and wiggles a bit, about 35 minutes. Remove the collar and serve immediately. Serves 4. Recipes adapted from Florence Fabricant.

Steps:

• Thirty minutes before grilling the steaks, remove them from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature. Heat a grill with coals.
• When the coals are hot, spread them out in the grill in one solid layer. Pat the steaks dry on both sides with paper towels and brush each side lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle them liberally with salt and pepper. Place the steaks on the hot grill and sear them on each side for 2 minutes, until browned. Place the lid on the grill and allow the steaks to cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, until they are cooked rare, or 120 degrees on a meat thermometer. (To test the steaks, insert the thermometer sideways to be sure you're actually testing the middle of the steak.) Remove the steaks from the grill, place them in one layer on a platter, and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow the steaks to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Slice and serve warm with the Stilton Sauce.
• Place the Stilton in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and blend until finely minced. Add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, scallions, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Process until smooth. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter and flour 1 large souffle dish or 4 to 6 individual ones with an 8 to 12 ounce capacity.
• Heat the milk in a saucepan over low heat. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, then add the flour, whisking until smooth and creamy. Cook about 3 minutes, until the mixture turns straw colored. Whisking, pour in the hot milk, and whisk constantly over medium heat until the mixture thickens, about 1 to 2 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the cheeses, 4 egg yolks, corn, and mustard. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside to cool 5 minutes. Whip the egg whites until soft peaks form, and then fold into the souffle mixture in thirds with a rubber spatula.
• Pour the mixture into the souffle dish or dishes, and then place them in a roasting pan. Pour hot water into the pan until it comes halfway up the sides of the dish. Bake 25 to 35 minutes for individual souffles, 35 to 45 minutes for large ones, until risen and slightly firmed. Serve immediately or let the souffles cool in the dish, then turn out, cover, and refrigerate. (The dish can be made up to this point up to 24 hours in advance.)
• If made ahead of time: to serve, arrange the turned out souffles in a baking dish, poke a hole in the top and pour a little heavy cream inside, then drizzle a little heavy cream over the top of each souffle, and bake at 400 degrees until hot and bubbly, about 10 minutes.
• Notes about the recipe: When I agreed to go to England to revitalize the flagging cuisine at Stapleford Park, a hotel owned by our friend Bob Payton, I had no idea what to expect. But having heard all the jokes about English cooking, I did wonder if they would like my food. As soon as I arrived in Melton Mowbray, a town dedicated to making strong, creamy Stilton cheese, we knew everything would be fine. The entire town of Melton Mowbray smells of Stilton, especially the fine cheeses of the firm of Tuxford & Tebbutt that may be what inspired me to cook with it so often, creating new lunch and supper dishes like this one. The richness of the local agricultural traditions quickly impressed me: the milk, butter, eggs, lamb, and vegetables were just as perfect and flavorful as the Stilton cheese. According to legend, Stilton was invented by a Mrs. Paulet in the 1700s. The cheese must be cylindrical, must ripen without ever being pressed, and must form its own coat or crust. Red Leicester, a vibrant orange, crumbly aged cheddar-style cheese, furthered our education in the best products of English kitchens. More words and warnings have been devoted to the making of souffles than any other cooking subject, but this one doesn't rise perilously high. An airy egg batter, fresh milk, and butter, savory cheese and, in this case, sweet corn kernels and a dash of mustard produce irresistible results. If you want to make your souffles even more luxurious, follow the reheating instructions by pouring a dollop of heavy cream inside each one for the last 10 minutes of cooking.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Brush butter on the bottom and up the sides of two 5 1/2-ounce ramekins. Scoop in some sugar; rotate ramekins to coat while pouring most of the sugar back into its container. Place ramekins on a shallow baking pan.
• Separate eggs between 2 bowls. Add sugar, flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, vanilla extract, lemon zest, cream cheese, and Cheddar cheese to the yolks. Mix the souffle base with a spatula until sugar and flour disappear.
• Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the room-temperature egg whites. Beat with a whisk until soft peaks form; peaks should hold their shape but not be stiff or dry. Stir and fold 1/2 of the egg whites into the souffle base until combined. Gently fold the rest of the egg whites into the batter.
• Fill ramekins up to the lip with the batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and browned, about 12 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• RUB fillets with tarragon and pepper.
• MELT 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook fillets 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or to desired degree of doneness. Remove from skillet, and keep warm.
• MELT remaining 3 tablespoons butter in skillet. Add mushrooms, and saute 3 to 4 minutes, or until tender. Add wine, and cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring to loosen particles from bottom of skillet. Stir in sour cream. Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese into sauce, stirring until melted.
• ARRANGE fillets on a serving platter, and drizzle with sauce. Sprinkle with remaining cheese, and garnish, if desired.

Steps:

• Rub the fillets with the chopped tarragon and pepper. Melt 2 TBS of the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the fillets and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side or to the desired degree of doneness. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
• Melt the remaining 3 TBS butter in the skillet. Add the mushrooms. Saute for 3 to 4 minutes or until tender. Add the wine. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring to deglaze the skillet. Stir in the sour cream. Add 1/4 cup of the cheese. Cook until melted, stirring constantly.
• To serve, drizzle the sauce over the fillets. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Garnish with sprigs of tarragon.

Steps:

• Slice beef into very thin strips and season with ½ teaspoon each salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
• Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add ½ of the beef in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, for 2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, about 1 minute. Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining olive oil and beef.
• Fill a large pot with water and set over high heat on another burner.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until it starts to release its juices, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and ½ teaspoon salt; cook, stirring often, until tender and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle with flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.
• Whisk in 2 cups beef broth and mustard and bring to a simmer, scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add more broth if necessary as sauce thickens. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and add reserved beef and any drippings. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, while you cook the pasta.
• Add egg noodles and remaining 1 teaspoon salt to the boiling water. Boil until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 9 minutes. Drain noodles and toss with remaining 1 tablespoon butter.
• Add sour cream to the sauce, a little at a time, stirring swiftly to incorporate. Taste and adjust salt and pepper, if needed.
• Ladle sauce over egg noodles and garnish with parsley.

Steps:

• Mash first 3 ingredients in small bowl until almost smooth. Place bread on work surface and spread mixture on 1 side of each slice. Top each of 4 bread slices with 1/4 of beef, then onion and arugula. Season with pepper. Top with remaining bread, cheese side down.
• Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sandwiches and cook until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Serve hot.
