Indische Hachee Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a pot over medium-high heat and cook beef stew meat until browned on all sides, 5 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in water, bring to a boil, reduce heat, over, and simmer over low heat for 45 minutes.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet and cook onions over medium-low heat until they are very soft and are starting to caramelize, about 10 minutes. Add sauteed onions and uncooked onions to the pot with the meat and simmer for 45 more minutes. Season with beef bouillon.
• When meat is cooked through, season with vinegar, sugar, and curry powder. Remove 1 tablespoon of liquid and stir together with potato starch in a small bowl to make a slurry. Add slurry back to the stew to thicken. Cook for 1 to 2 more minutes.

Steps:

• Soak the mushrooms in enough boiling water to cover them for 20 minutes, then drain through a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl, and finely chop. (Reserve the liquid if you want to add mushroomy savor to a future soup or pasta sauce. It freezes well as a few ice cubes.)
• In a medium bowl, mix the beef, 6 tablespoons of the mushrooms, 1 tablespoon of the butter, 1 tablespoon of the onion, the egg, a large pinch of salt and the Parmesan until well combined. Form into 4 1-inch thick patties.
• Make porcini butter by combining the remaining mushrooms and 4 tablespoons of butter and a sprinkle of salt. Make salsa verde by soaking the remaining onion in the vinegar with a sprinkle of salt for 10 minutes, then adding the capers, parsley and olive oil to cover and make it a bit swimmy; taste for salt, and adjust.
• Heat a heavy cast-iron pan, and drizzle with olive oil. Cook the chopped steaks for 4 minutes on the first side, salting them liberally. Flip, and cook for 4 minutes on the second side, salting again. (Cook longer for medium.) Remove the steaks to a waiting hot plate. Top immediately with the porcini butter. Let rest a few moments, then spoon salsa verde over each, and serve.

Steps:

• Sprinkle cubed rib-eye with flour until completely coated. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a heavy, cast iron casserole over medium-high heat. Add rib-eye in batches to the hot oil and cook on all sides until browned, about 5 minutes per batch. Remove seared cubes before adding the next batch, but reuse the same oil.
• Once meat is cooked, add onions and butter to the casserole. Reduce heat to low and cook until onions are softened, about 10 minutes. Return meat to the casserole along with 1 quart beef stock, bay leaves, and cloves; stir to combine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes. Mix in red wine and add more stock if liquid is low. Cook for 2 more hours, stirring every so often, until beef is fork-tender.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a pan and add about 3 /4 of the shallots. Cook for 5-10 mins, stirring occasionally, until soft and starting to caramelise in places. Set aside to cool.
• In a large bowl, combine the beef, thyme, 1 tsp Dijon and the cooled shallots. Season with black pepper but not salt at this stage (this can cause the meat to dry out). Shape into four patties and dust with flour. Put on a plate, cover with cling film and chill for at least 30 mins (or up to 2 hrs).
• Meanwhile, prepare the frites. Slice the potatoes into skinny chips, tipping into a large bowl of cold water as you go. Drain, then transfer to a large pan and cover with fresh water, seasoning with salt. Bring to a fast simmer, boil for 1 min, then drain well. Tip the chips onto a clean tea towel or some kitchen paper, spread in a single layer so they dry and cool quickly. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
• Tip the chips into a bowl with the vegetable oil and 1 tsp salt. Toss to coat, then spread out over two large baking trays. Cook for 45 mins or until crisp and golden.
• When the chips are about 15 mins from being cooked, heat a large frying pan with a drizzle of oil. Season the patties with salt on both sides and cook for 3-4 mins each side, or until they have a dark brown crust but are still slightly pink inside (or cook them for a little longer if you'd prefer them well done). Transfer to a plate, cover with foil and set aside to keep warm while you make the sauce.
• Return the pan to the heat and tip in the remaining shallots. Fry for 1-2 mins to soften, then remove the pan from the heat and stir in the crème fraîche, remaining Dijon, the egg yolk and tarragon, as well as any resting juices from the beef patties. Season well. Serve the steak with the pommes frites and a green salad, with the Béarnaise sauce on the side.
