Beeffilletswithstiltonportabellasauce Recipes

Steps:

• Thirty minutes before grilling the steaks, remove them from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature. Heat a grill with coals.
• When the coals are hot, spread them out in the grill in one solid layer. Pat the steaks dry on both sides with paper towels and brush each side lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle them liberally with salt and pepper. Place the steaks on the hot grill and sear them on each side for 2 minutes, until browned. Place the lid on the grill and allow the steaks to cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, until they are cooked rare, or 120 degrees on a meat thermometer. (To test the steaks, insert the thermometer sideways to be sure you're actually testing the middle of the steak.) Remove the steaks from the grill, place them in one layer on a platter, and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow the steaks to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Slice and serve warm with the Stilton Sauce.
• Place the Stilton in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and blend until finely minced. Add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, scallions, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Process until smooth. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220c/ gas mark 7).
• Take your beef out of the refrigerator to bring to room temperature, which could take 1 hour or possibly more.
• Put the onion slices into a roasting tin and sit the beef on top of them. Use the onion slices as props to help the rib sit up on its bones in an "L" shape. Smear the oil over the white fat of the rib, and sprinkle with the salt, thyme and cayenne pepper. Cook according to the beef's weight and your taste. I like my beef nice and underdone, so I give it 15 minutes per pound (33 minutes per kg) which means, for a joint this size, a cooking time of about 2 hours unless the beef is straight out of the refrigerator, in which case, add another 20 minutes or so. If you want medium beef, give the joint, from room temperature, 20 minutes per pound (44 minutes per kg), and if you like well-done meat, 30 minutes per pound (66 minutes per kg). As for feeding capacity, this size of joint will certainly look over a big tableful, from 8 with lots of leftovers to 14, without the definite promise of them.
• When the beef comes out of the oven, remove to a carving board and allow it to rest in a warm part of the kitchen under a tent of foil for 30 minutes before carving; or just leave, tented in its tin, for the same time. Do not start clearing up the tin, even if you have taken the beef out, however, as you will need some of the pan juices and onions for the gravy.
• In a saucepan over low heat, add 2 tablespoons of the fatty juices from the beef tin. To make a roux, whisk in the flour, and then the port. Keep heating and whisking over a fairly gentle heat, until thick and bubbling. If you want to blend the onions into the stock, do so now. Be sure to avoid adding any blackened onions. Put the onions in a blender with the beef stock and mix together. Or leave the stock just as it is, straight out of the tub. Take the saucepan off the heat, and gradually whisk in the beef stock. Whisk in the blue cheese and red currant jelly. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Pour in any juices that remain in the tin or on the cutting board. Transfer to gravy boat and serve with the beef.

• For the stilton sauce, place the stilton cheese in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and blend until finely minced. Add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, scallions, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Process until smooth.
• Slice the steak and serve with the stilton sauce.

Steps:

• Vigorously whisk the egg yolks and lemon juice together in a stainless steel bowl and until the mixture is thickened and doubled in volume. Place the bowl over a saucepan containing barely simmering water (or use a double boiler,) the water should not touch the bottom of the bowl. Continue to whisk rapidly. Be careful not to let the eggs get too hot or they will scramble. Slowly drizzle in the melted butter and continue to whisk until the sauce is thickened and doubled in volume. Remove from heat, whisk in cayenne and salt. Cover and place in a warm spot until ready to use for the eggs benedict. If the sauce gets too thick, whisk in a few drops of warm water before serving.
• Brown the bacon in a medium skillet and toast the English muffins, cut sides up, on a baking sheet under the broiler. Fill a 10-inch nonstick skillet half full of water. Add white vinegar to the cooking water. This will make the egg white cook faster so it does not spread. Bring to a slow boil. Gently break 1 of the eggs into the water taking care not to break it. Repeat with remaining eggs. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook 3 1/2 minutes until the egg white is set and yolk remains soft. Remove with a slotted spoon, allowing the egg to drain. To assemble: Lay a slice of Canadian bacon on top of each muffin half, followed by a poached egg. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon hollandaise sauce over the eggs. Garnish with chopped parsley.
• Yield: 4 servings

Steps:

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil and 20g of the butter in a large frying pan. Add the onion and cook for about 10 minutes, until softened and beginning to caramelize a little.
• Stir in the leeks and a sprinkling of salt and cook until tender and lightly caramelized. Remove the onion and leeks from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Heat the remaining oil and butter in the pan, then add the potatoes and cook over a medium heat until a golden crust forms underneath.
• Turn them over, add the carrots and brussels sprouts and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden all over and the carrots and sprouts are beginning to caramelize. Return the onion and leeks to the pan, add the parsley and toss together thoroughly. Season to taste, then stir in the crumbled Stilton so it begins to melt. Serve straight away.
