Fillet Of Beef Arugula And Artichoke Crostini Recipes

Steps:

• For the beef tenderloin: Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Place the beef tenderloin on a baking sheet, drizzle with the olive oil and season liberally with salt and pepper. Rub the oil and seasoning evenly over the meat.
• Roast the tenderloin until an internal thermometer reads 125 to 130 degrees F for rare to medium rare, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, tent with aluminum foil and let rest until it reaches room temperature, at least 20 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and thinly slice.
• For the crostini: Turn down the oven temperature to 400 degrees F.
• Put the baguette slices on a baking sheet in 1 layer. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until golden brown and toasted, about 5 minutes.
• For the horseradish sauce: Add the sour cream, applesauce, horseradish, mayonnaise, breadcrumbs and chives to a medium bowl and mix until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
• To assemble: Spread a dollop of horseradish sauce onto each toasted baguette piece, add a slice of beef tenderloin and then top with another dollop of horseradish sauce and a few watercress leaves.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500°F.
• Pat fillet dry and season with salt and pepper. In an oiled roasting pan roast fillet in middle of oven until a meat thermometer registers 130°F. for medium-rare meat, 20 to 25 minutes, and let cool to room temperature. Fillet may be roasted 2 days ahead and chilled, wrapped well.
• Make vinaigrette:
• Cut top 1/4 inch off each head garlic and wrap heads together in foil. Roast garlic 40 to 45 minutes, or until very soft, and let cool. Squeeze roasted garlic from each head (there should be about 1/3 cup) and in a blender or food processor blend together with mustard, vinegars, and salt and pepper to taste until smooth. With motor running add oil in a very thin stream and blend until emulsified. Vinaigrette may be made 4 days ahead and chilled in a tightly sealed jar. Shake vinaigrette well or reblend before serving.
• Slice fillet thin. Arrange fillet, arugula, and tomatoes decoratively on a platter and serve with vinaigrette.

Steps:

• 1.Wrap each piece of beef in foil and chill in the freezer for 1to 2 hours, until about to freeze. 2. Whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice. Remove the beef from the freezer, unwrap, and slice paper-thin. Flatten the slices by pounding them between two pieces of waxed paper. Cut the slices into 1-1/2" pieces. 3. Tear the arugula leaves into pieces and place a piece on each crostini. Top with a piece of beef and drizzle on a Iirtle of the olive oil and lemon dressing. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and garnish with the Parmigiano Reggiano shavings. Crostini: 1. Slice the baguettes into 1/2" slices. 2. Set under pre-heated broiler and toast until lightly browned on both sides. If serving the same day, rub the bread slices with 1to 2 large garlic cloves, sliced in half lengthwise, then brush with 2 to 3 tbsp (25 to 45. ml) olive oil. If making in advance, let cool, then keep in an airtight container for up to two days. Rub with garlic and brush with olive oil before topping.
