Petit Fillet Of Beef With Tarragon Cognae Mustard Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Place the beef on a baking sheet and pat the outside dry with a paper towel. Spread the butter on with your hands. Sprinkle evenly with the salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for exactly 22 minutes for rare and 25 minutes for medium-rare.
• Remove the beef from the oven, cover it tightly with aluminum foil, and allow it to rest at room temperature for 20 minutes. Remove the strings and slice the filet thickly.

Steps:

• Remove the cooked chicken or pork from the skillet. Working over medium-high heat, add the chicken stock, heavy cream, mustard, and tarragon. Bring up to a bubble and simmer until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and pour over the cooked chicken or pork.

Steps:

• In a large, heavy skillet, heat canola oil and 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Season fillets with salt and pepper. Sauté the beef fillets about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove skillet from the heat, carefully add the cognac and flambé. Remove fillets to a warm platter and keep warm. In the same skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sauté garlic until light brown. Cool a few seconds, then add the Chardonnay. Boil for a few minutes, stirring constantly and scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Add the cream, lower heat, simmer until the sauce thickens and then strain into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and add mustard, remaining butter, tarragon, and a splash of cognac. Spoon sauce over fillets and serve.

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle steaks with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Add steaks to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Remove from pan; keep warm.
• Add dry white wine, sugar, and Dijon mustard to pan; bring to a boil 1 minute stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt, sour cream, and chopped tarragon. Spoon sauce over warm steaks. Garnish with tarragon sprigs, if desired.

Steps:

• Heat 1 T oil in heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Add shallots; cover and cook until soft and brown, about 3 minutes. Add stock, wine, and brandy. Boil until slightly reduced, 6 minutes. Add cream; boil until reduced to 3/4 cup, about 6 minutes. Set sauce aside.
• Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and saute 1 minute. Add 1 bag of spinach and toss until slightly wilted, about 1 minute. Add remaining spinach and toss just until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Heat remaining 1/2 T oil in another heavy large skillet over high heat. Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper. Saute to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for rare.
• Divide spinach among 4 plates. Place 1 steak on each mound of spinach. Add sauce, mustard, and tarragon to skillet steaks cooked in; boil until slightly thickened, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan, about 1 minute. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Spoon sauce over steaks and serve.

Steps:

• Season the fillets generously with the cracked pepper and salt. Heat the oil in a large frying pan or flameproof roasting tray until starting to smoke. Then, one at a time, sear the fillets until brown on all sides - about 6 mins per fillet. Leave the beef to cool slightly. Meanwhile, lay the prosciutto so that it's overlapping on two large sheets of greaseproof paper.
• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Brush the beef all over with mustard and place on the prosciutto. Wrap the prosciutto around the beef and secure with string.
• Sit the fillets next to each other on a roasting tray and roast for 40 mins for medium or 50 mins for well done. Leave the beef to cool in the roasting tray. Dab the fillets with kitchen paper to remove any excess juices. Then either carve into thin slices and lay over two platters or place the fillets on the platters and serve with a carving knife and fork, so that guests can help themselves.

Steps:

• Rub the fillets with the oil, season them with salt and pepper, and in a large roasting pan, leaving space between the fillets, roast them in a preheated 550°F. oven for 23 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 130°F., for medium-rare meat. Transfer the fillets to a platter and let them stand, covered loosely with foil, for 15 minutes. In a bowl with an electric mixer cream together the butter and the mustard. In a large saucepan combine the shallot, the wine, and the tarragon and cook the mixture over moderately high heat until the wine is reduced to about 1 cup. The mustard butter and the shallot mixture may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. Reheat the shallot mixture before continuing. Add the cream and the cornichons, reduce the heat to low, and whisk in the mustard butter, a little at a time, and any meat juices that have accumulated on the platter. Season the sauce with salt and pepper and keep it warm, but do not let it boil. Slice the fillets and nap the meat with the sauce.
