Filet Of Beef Roasted With Coffee Beans Pasilla Chi Recipes

Steps:

• Seed, stem and cut the chilies into pieces. Tear the tortilla into pieces. Set both aside. In a saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the chilies and tortilla and cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until softened. Pour in the stock, bring to a boil and then simmer, partly covered, for 10 minutes. In a blender, purée the hot mixture until smooth. Pour through a fine sieve set over a saucepan, pressing on the solids. Discard the solids. Whisk in the cream, 1 teaspoon salt and the brown sugar. Season to taste.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a bowl, whisk together the coffee, cocoa and cinnamon. Pat the beef dry and rub with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper; then rub with oil. Sprinkle the coffee mixture over a sheet of wax paper and coat the beef in it. Place the beef on a rack set in a roasting pan and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Roast the beef for 10 minutes; then lower the temperature to 250 and cook for an hour more, or until the meat reaches 130 degrees. Let stand, loosely covered with foil, for 10 minutes. (The meat will continue to cook, reaching about 135 degrees.)
• Bring the broth to a boil and simmer until just thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Cover and keep warm.
• In a large skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté until golden. Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove the twine and cut the beef into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Spoon just enough broth to cover the bottoms of 4 to 6 shallow, wide soup bowls. Add 2 to 3 slices of beef, spoon more broth over the beef if desired and top with mushrooms and watercress.

Steps:

• Tie the filet of beef with butcher twine at 1/2-inch intervals.
• Rub the filet well with salt and pepper.
• Rub the filet with the olive oil.
• Combine the ground coffee, cocoa powder and cinnamon and mix well.
• Spread the mixture over a work surface and roll the filet in the mixture to evenly coat the beef.
• Allow to marinate approximately 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 Degrees F.
• Place the filet on a roasting rack in a roasting pan.
• Roast the filet for 10 minutes.
• Immediately lower the heat to 250 degrees F.
• After 20 minutes, check the internal temperature of the filet (125 degrees F for medium rare or 135 degrees F for medium).
• If further cooking is necessary, return the beef to the oven (still set at 250 degrees F) and slowly roast to the desired temperature.
• Remove the filet from the oven and keep warm.
• Before carving, remove the string.
• Slice the filet into 1/4-inch thick slices.
• Ladle some of the Pasilla Chile Broth over the filet.
• Garnish with watercress sprigs.
• SAUCE: Heat a saucepan over medium high heat.
• Add the butter and sauté the onion and garlic cloves until nicely browned.
• Add the pieces of pasilla chile and tortilla pieces and slowly sauté until the ingredients are golden brown.
• Lower the heat to medium low if necessary.
• Add the chicken stock.
• Bring the stock to a boil, then simmer, lightly covered, for approximately10 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
• Transfer the ingredients to blender and puree for approximately 1 minute or until smooth.
• Pass the sauce through a sieve to remove any chunky pieces.
• Add the cream, salt and brown sugar and blend.
• The sauce should not be too thick.
• If too thick, add some addition chicken stock or water to correct to a light consistency.
• Reserve until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees. Use an oven thermometer to be sure your oven temperature is accurate.
• Place the filet on a sheet pan and pat it dry (all over) with paper towels. Brush the filet all over with the oil, reserving about half a tablespoon. Sprinkle it all over with the salt and pepper (it will seem like a lot but believe me, it makes a difference). Place the tarragon branches around the beef, tying them in 4 or 5 places with kitchen twine to keep them in place, and then brush the tarragon with the reserved oil.
• Roast the filet of beef for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, until the temperature registers 125 degrees in the center for rare and 135 degrees for medium-rare. Cover the filet with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 20 minutes. Slice thickly and serve warm or at room temperature with Basil Parmesan Mayonnaise.
• Place the egg yolks, lemon juice, Parmesan, mustard, basil, garlic, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process for 20 seconds, until smooth. Combine the vegetable oil and olive oil in a 2-cup liquid measuring cup. With the processor running, slowly pour the oil mixture through the feed tube to make a thick emulsion. Taste for seasonings -- the mayonnaise is a sauce so it should be highly seasoned. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use; it will keep for up to a week.

Steps:

• Rub the meat well with 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and olive oil.
• Combine the ground coffee, cocoa powder and cinnamon and mix well. Spread the mixture over a work surface and roll the beef in it until coated evenly. Allow to marinate approximately 30 minutes at room temperature ¿ it won't cook evenly if it's cold.
• Heat a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the butter and saute the onion and garlic cloves until nicely browned. Add chiles and tortilla pieces and lower the heat, gently sauteing until they are golden brown. Add the chicken stock. Bring the stock to a boil, then simmer, lightly covered, for 10 minutes. Remove the stock from the heat and allow to cool.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Transfer the ingredients to a blender and puree for 1 minute or until smooth. Pass the sauce through a sieve to remove any coarse pieces. Add the cream, remaining 1 teaspoon salt and brown sugar and blend. The sauce should not be too thick. If too thick, add some more chicken stock or water; it should be a very light consistency. Reserve.
• Place the beef on a roasting rack in a roasting pan. Roast in the oven for 10 minutes. Immediately lower the heat to 250 degrees F and roast for 20 minutes. Check the beef's internal temperature with a meat thermometer (125 degrees F for medium-rare, 135 degrees F for medium). If further cooking is necessary, return the beef to the oven (still set at 250 degrees F) and slowly roast to the desired temperature. Remove the beef from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Before carving, remove the string.
• To serve, slice the filet into 1/4-inch thick slices. Ladle the pasilla chile broth over the filet.

Steps:

• To make the grits bring the chicken broth to a boil and add the grits. Decrease the heat and simmer for 20 minutes over low heat, stirring frequently. Stir in the milk, grated cheddar cheese, cooked bacon and pureed chipotle chile. Season to taste and set aside in a warm place. To prepare the shellac, add the double espresso and the molasses to the glace de viande. Stir the ingredients together and set the shellac aside in a warm place. Season the beef fillets with salt and pepper. Then sear them in hot corn oil in a heavy skillet for 3 minutes over moderately high heat. Turn the fillets over and sear for 2 more minutes, then place the skillet with the fillets in a 400 degree oven for 7 minutes. Remove from the oven, brush with half the shellac and allow to cool to room temperature. In a hot, heavy skillet saute the white onion, garlic and spinach leaves in the butter until the spinach is just wilted, then season to taste with salt and pepper. For each serving, spoon a mound of the grits onto the center of a plate and top with the sauted spinach. Cut each beef fillet from the top to bottom at an angle. Place half a fillet, with the cut side facing the front of the plate on the spinach leaves and grits. Place the other half of the fillet on the plate so that it's facing the front of the plate, leaning against the grits and the other half of the fillet. Drizzle the shellac around the perimeter of the plate and serve.
