Loin Of Beef With Watercress Puree Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500°F. Rub 1 tablespoon olive oil into beef, then rub in kosher salt and ground mixed peppercorns. Place beef on small rimmed baking sheet. Roast 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 450°F and roast until thermometer inserted into thickest part of meat registers 125°F for medium-rare, about 15 minutes longer. Let meat stand 5 minutes (internal temperature of meat will increase 5 to 10 degrees).
• Meanwhile, whisk remaining 5 tablespoons olive oil, vinegar, and mustard in small bowl to blend. Stir in shallots and season vinaigrette to taste with salt and pepper.
• Arrange watercress on small platter. Cut meat into 1/2-inch-thick slices; arrange overlapping slices atop watercress. Drizzle any accumulated juices over meat. Spoon half of vinaigrette down center of meat and over watercress. Serve, passing remaining vinaigrette separately.

Steps:

• Cook noodles in a medium pot of boiling salted water according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cool water; set aside.
• Meanwhile, whisk oyster sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, and honey together in a medium bowl.
• Slice beef against the grain as thinly as possible. Transfer to a medium bowl and toss with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper.
• Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large wok or skillet over high. Add beef and cook, tossing often, until medium-rare, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Heat remaining 1 tsp. oil in same skillet over high. Cook garlic, ginger, and half of the scallions, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add peas and bell pepper and cook until vegetables are softened, about 1 minute. Add oyster sauce mixture and reserved noodles and cook, tossing with tongs, until everything is coated and sauce thickens slightly, 1-2 minutes more. Add beef and stir to combine.
• Divide among plates and top with remaining scallions.

Steps:

• Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add the peas and return to a boil. Turn off the heat. Add the watercress tops to the peas and cover the saucepan. Let sit for 5 minutes so that the watercress wilts.
• Drain the peas and watercress and transfer to a food processor. Add the butter, pepper and salt and process until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning. Spoon into a serving dish and serve.
