Paniolo Crusted Roasted Strip Loin With Port Wine Demi Glace Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Pour the oil into a metal roasting pan and put it in the preheated oven for 3 to 5 minutes to heat up the pan and condition it with the oil. Spread the bones out on the roasting pan and cook until browned, 30 to 45 minutes, turning the bones occasionally so they brown evenly.
• Transfer the bones to a large-enough stockpot to accommodate the bones, 6 quarts ice water and more. Use tongs to transfer the bones so you do not pour any fat into the stockpot. Add the ice water to the stockpot and bring to a simmer. Allow the stock to cook for 4 hours at a slow simmer. Skim the surface of the stock occasionally to remove any fat or impurities.
• While the stock is simmering, discard all but about 1/4 cup of the fat from the roasting pan. Bring the pan back up to temperature over high heat on the stovetop. Add the onions and carrots and cook until golden brown and caramelized. Add the celery and cook for another 10 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, thyme and bay leaf and cook, stirring regularly, until the tomato paste gets a brick red color, about 15 minutes. Add 1 cup of the red wine and stir it into the mirepoix (vegetable) mixture.
• Add the mirepoix mixture to the stock after the 4-hour simmering time. Bring the stock back up to a simmer and continue to cook it for another 2 hours.
• In a separate pot, bring the remaining 7 cups red wine to a boil and cook until reduced by half, 15 to 20 minutes.
• When the stock has simmered for 6 hours, strain it through a chinois and combine the strained stock with the reduced red wine. Bring the stock to a boil, lower the heat to a hard simmer and reduce the stock until it has a consistency that coats the back of spoon and is about 2 quarts (8 cups) in volume, up to 1 hour. Season with salt and pepper and then strain the sauce though a chinois again.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Rinse strip loin to remove residue and season with salt. Combine horseradish and black pepper in a small bowl to make a paste. Place loin in roasting pan and coat entirely with paste. Roast until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 140 to 142 degrees F as measured with an instant-read thermometer, about 30 to 40 minutes, then remove from oven and let rest to carryover cook to about 150 degrees for medium-rare, or cook for whatever length of time is needed (usually specified on your meat thermometer) for your desired level of doneness.
• For the sauce, heat grapeseed oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. When it begins to shimmer, add the beef trimmings and cook for about 10 minutes until you see that the fat is rendered from the meat. You should pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat or, if necessary, supplement with grapeseed oil if you do not have 2 tablespoons in the pan. Add garlic and onion and gently saute until the onion turns translucent. Pour beer into the pan and cook over medium heat until most of the alcohol has evaporated, then stir in the beef base (which has been diluted in water) and tomato paste. Return to a boil, lower the heat to medium-low and allow to reduce by half. Strain into a bowl and gradually whisk in cubed butter. Nest bowl in another bowl filled with hot water and cover to keep warm.
• For the vegetable medley, blanch carrots and haricots verts for 2 minutes in salted water and drain well. Heat the grapeseed oil over medium-high heat in a large saute pan. When it begins to shimmer, add shallot, peppers, carrots and green beans and season with salt and pepper. Saute until the shallot turns translucent and the peppers begin to soften. Remove to a bowl and cover until needed. Reserve the saute pan.
• For the rissole, boil the potatoes until soft, and drain well.
• For the onion rings, heat oil in the reserved saute pan over medium-high heat. Combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt in a small bowl and pour the beer in a stream while whisking constantly. Dip the onion slices into the batter and fry until golden. Drain on paper towels and keep warm. Discard oil and reserve the saute pan.
• Return to the rissole. In the same pan saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the grapeseed oil over medium high heat in a large skillet, reserving the other tablespoon. When it begins to shimmer, saute the white onion until tender. Transfer the onion to the potatoes which have been boiled for the rissole, reserving the saute pan. Season potatoes, to taste, with salt and pepper, and mash together. Fold in the scallions and crab trying to avoid breaking up the crab. Allow to sit until cool enough to handle, then use 3-inch circle cutters as molds and form the potato/crab mixture into circles. In the same pan, heat additional grapeseed oil for the rissole over medium-high heat and sear the potato cakes leaving undisturbed for the first 2 to 3 minutes on each side to let the caramelization process begin and to prevent the cake from breaking apart. When you see the edges of the cake beginning to turn golden brown, flip and sear the other side. Then cook further until the cake is firm. Remove from heat and keep warm.
• Slice roast sirloin. Place a rissole circle on serving plate. Place sliced beef on top and spoon demi-glace over. Top with onion rings. Arrange some vegetable medley around.

Steps:

• With machine running, drop garlic into processor; blend until finely chopped. Add sage, thyme, oil, salt and pepper; process until paste forms.
• Pat meat dry with paper towels. Rub meat all over with herb paste. Cover; chill at least 3 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
• Preheat oven to 450°F. Place meat, fat side up, on rack in roasting pan. Roast meat 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Roast meat until instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of meat registers 130°F for medium-rare, about 35 minutes (or 140°F for medium, about 40 minutes). Remove from oven; let stand 20 minutes. Cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices. Arrange slices on platter.

Steps:

• Coarsely grind peppercorns and allspice together in a spice mill. Combine with salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle mixture evenly over exterior of roast. Add the grated garlic and rub in all over.
• Line a roasting pan with herb branches and set roast on top. Leave to absorb seasonings for at least 1 hour at room temperature, or refrigerate overnight (bring back to room temperature before proceeding). Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a large pot of well-salted boiling water, cook potatoes until just done, about 15 minutes. Remove with a spider or slotted spoon and place in an earthenware baking dish. In the same water, simmer parsnips until just done, about 8 minutes. Remove and add them to potatoes in baking dish. Pour melted butter over the potatoes and parsnips and use a brush to make sure they are well coated.
• Make the horseradish sauce: Whisk together crème fraîche, Dijon mustard, horseradish and cayenne in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper and refrigerate.
• Roast the beef, uncovered, for about 1 hour. Check with an instant-read thermometer after 45 minutes. For medium-rare, take the roast out of the oven when thermometer registers 120 degrees (residual heat will cause roast to continue cooking as it rests). Remove the roast, tent it with foil, and let it rest for 15 minutes; the temperature should rise to 125 degrees. About 15 minutes after the roast goes into the oven, put in the baking dish of potatoes and parsnips, uncovered, and roast until beautifully golden brown, about 30 minutes.
• Slice the beef into 1/4-inch-thick pieces and arrange on a warmed platter, garnished with a big bunch of watercress. Pass the roasted vegetables and horseradish sauce separately.
