Seared Beef Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• For the boiled shrimp: Add the shrimp shells, seafood seasoning, parsley, peppercorns, celery, lemon and onion to a large stock pot and fill three-quarters of the way with water. Bring to a boil and cook until the vegetables soften slightly, 5 to 10 minutes (see Cook's Note).
• Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl. Add the shrimp to the stock pot and boil, stirring constantly, until pink and opaque, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the shrimp and add to the ice bath until completely cooled.
• For the salad rolls: In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, parsley, seafood seasoning, pimentos, celery and onion. Fold in the shrimp and crab meat. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 days.
• When ready to serve, fill the buns with the seafood mixture and serve with a lemon wedge and some clarified butter.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C)
• Add 1 tablespoon of salt to a large pot of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, add the lobsters, heads first, leaving the rubber bands on the claws. Once the water returns to a boil, boil the lobsters for 10 minutes.
• Use tongs to remove the lobsters and transfer to a cutting board. Let cool for 5-10 minutes. Use scissors to snip off the rubber bands of the claws. With one hand, hold the body of the lobster, and with the other hold the tail. Use your hands to twist the tail off and remove it from the body. Twist the claws off where the leg and body meet.
• Use a pair of kitchen shears to make an incision at the top of the tail, then snip through to the base. Snap the shell back and remove the tail meat.
• Twist the legs at the joints to separate from the claws. Use kitchen shears to cut through the shells and remove the leg and claw meat.
• Roughly chop the lobster meat and add to a medium bowl, along with the cream cheese, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of pepper. Use a rubber spatula to mix well.
• Lay a piece of plastic wrap over a cutting board. Pat the flank steak dry with paper towels, then place on the plastic wrap and cover with another sheet. Use a meat mallet to pound out to ¼-inch thick.
• Remove the plastic wrap, then season the steak on both sides with the remaining 2 teaspoons of salt and teaspoon of pepper.
• Spread the lobster mixture in an even layer over the steak. Starting from the short end, gently roll the steak into a log shape. Secure the roll with toothpicks.
• Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron or stainless steel pan over medium-high heat. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the steak roll and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, until browned. Using 2 sets of tongs, gently turn the roll over and sear on the other side for 3-4 minutes, until browned.
• Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for 27-30 minutes, until the internal temperature of the steak reaches 145°F (63°C).
• Remove the steak roll from the pan and transfer to a cutting board. Let rest for 10 minutes.
• Make the cream sauce: In a large pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and stir for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
• Add the white wine and cook for 3 minutes, until reduced by half.
• Add the heavy cream, salt, and pepper, and cook for 7 minutes, whisking frequently, until slightly thickened and reduced by half.
• Add the parsley and whisk to combine.
• Remove the toothpicks from the steak roll, then slice into 1-inch thick pieces. Transfer to a platter and pour the cream sauce on top, then garnish with more parsley.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• For the rice noodles: In a large bowl, combine the rice vinegar, lime juice, fish sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger and Fresno and serrano chiles and stir together. Toss in the carrots and cucumbers and let stand for 15 minutes for the flavors to meld.
• Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Prepare the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse the noodles with cold running water. Toss the noodles with the vegetables and dressing and refrigerate until serving.
• For the flank steak: Prepare a grill for direct and indirect heat: For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes, turn off one of the side burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.) If your grill has a thermometer, aim to keep the temperature at about 350 degrees F throughout grilling.
• Set the flank steak on a cutting board. Starting at the thin, narrow end of the steak, slice it in half horizontally to within 2 inches of the opposite wide end. Open it up like a book so you have 1 long piece. Pound the steak with a mallet to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. Cover the steak with the curry paste and season with 1 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle with the peanuts, leaving a 1-inch border along the edges. Arrange half of the cilantro and scallion greens in a line, followed by half of the tomatoes and then half of the scallion whites. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Roll up the steak like a jelly roll, starting at the short end. Tie the roll closed around the circumference with butcher's twine at 2-inch intervals. Tie one more piece of twine lengthwise around the meat. Sprinkle the outside of the meat with salt and pepper.
• Put the steak on direct heat and cook, turning, to brown all 4 sides, about 2 minutes per side. Move the steak to indirect heat, cover and cook, turning occasionally, until the very center reads 115 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer for a steak that is well done on the outside and medium rare in the center, 25 to 30 minutes more. (Test frequently; the time will vary based on the temperature of your grill.) Let the steak rest 5 to 6 minutes.
• Untie the steak and cut it into thin slices. Garnish the noodles with chopped nuts and cilantro leaves. Serve with the lettuce leaves on the side.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce and brown sugar until dissolved; set aside. Cut tenderloin crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Trim off any fat or connective tissue. Place 1 slice between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, evenly pound out the slice, keeping it roughly in a rectangular shape, until it is 1/8 inch thick. Do not overpound slices or they will begin to disintegrate. Remove plastic wrap, and transfer to a large plate. Repeat process with remaining meat.
• Dip 1 slice beef in the soy sauce mixture, and place it on a clean surface. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place 2 pieces of scallion green and 1 piece of each pepper across the shorter length of the beef, so that the vegetables extend over both edges by about 3/4-inch. Roll up lengthwise, and skewer near the edges with 2 toothpicks. Set aside. Repeat with remaining beef and vegetables.
• Lightly brush a grill pan with olive oil, and heat until hot, or heat the oven broiler. Grill or broil beef rolls, brushing with sauce and turning, until medium rare, 2 to 4 minutes. Cut each roll in half, or cut any longer rolls into 3 pieces. In a small saucepan bring remaining sauce to a boil for 3 to 5 minutes. Pour into a small bowl, and add scallion rings. Transfer beef rolls to a serving platter, and serve with sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Rub the beef with 1 tbsp oil, rosemary and garlic, then leave in the fridge for at least 1 hr, or up to 24 hrs. Make sure the beef returns to room temperature before you cook it.
• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat a non-stick, ovenproof frying pan or roasting tin until very hot. Rub most of the garlic and rosemary from the beef, season with black pepper and flaky salt, then sear on all sides until dark brown and almost crusted - about 5 mins in total. Transfer the pan to the oven, then roast the beef for 10 mins for mediumrare. Leave to rest for a good 15 mins and keep any juices.
• While the meat rests, sauté the mushrooms. Heat 1 tbsp butter and the remaining oil in a large frying pan, then tip in the mushrooms with plenty of seasoning. Fry until golden and just softened, then tip into a bowl.
• Add the stock to the mushroom pan, then reduce by two-thirds. Tip in the mushrooms and balsamic, then add the remaining butter and let it melt. Tip in any meat juices, then season to taste and keep warm. Thickly slice the beef and spoon over the sauce. Serve with mash and spinach.
