Grilled Beef With Horned Melon Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
• In a small bowl, toss together the lime juice, honey, cayenne pepper, and melon. Thread the melon chunks on the wooden skewers and wrap each chunk with ham, tucking in the ends so it stays together.
• Put the skewers on the grill and cook until the ham is just crisp, about 5 minutes on each side.
• Remove the skewers from the grill to a serving platter and serve.

Steps:

• In a large pot put the shrimp, lemons cut in half, peppercorns, and a pinch of salt together. Fill with cold water just to cover the shrimp. Place the pot on high heat to boil. In the meantime put a strainer in the sink, and also fill a large bowl with ice and cold water. When the water reaches a boil the shrimp are cooked. Strain the shrimp from the water, and then plunge the hot shrimp into the ice water. This stops the cooking process immediately. Leave the shrimp in the cold water for a few minutes. Strain and reserve in the refrigerator. Peel and seed the melons, and dice into medium size pieces, or around the same size as the shrimp. Separate the diced melon from the trimmings. This is what we will make the dressing out of. In a blender combine half of the melon pieces, half of the mint, and half the olive oil. Blend until smooth. In a large mixing bowl put the shrimp, diced melon, and the dressing. Mix well and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving vessel, and garnish with remaining mint leaves and drizzle with olive oil. Season the top with salt and cracked pepper.

Steps:

• Sprinkle the filet with salt and pepper. To a heated pan add the oil, salt and pepper. Brown the meat on all sides. Place into a 350 degrees F. oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the meat thermometer registers 120 degrees F. to 125 degrees F. (for rare). Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes, covered loosely with foil.
• Make the sauce while the beef is resting. Pour off the fat from the pan, add the Madeira, and boil it, scraping up the brown bits, until it is reduced to about 2 tablespoons. Add the broth and boil the mixture, stirring for 1 minute. Stir the arrowroot mixture, add it to the skillet, whisking, and simmer the sauce, whisking, for 1 minute.
• Slice the filet and transfer to a platter. Spoon sauce around the meat and serve the remaining sauce separately. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Combine melon liqueur and prosecco in a champagne flute. Next wrap a melon ball with a thin slice of proscutto, and skewer it with a cocktail pick. Lay the meat garnish atop the bubbly beverage,hold with one pinkie extended in the air as if you are refined and toast your new favorite cocktail. Sip, bite, repeat.
