Seared Medallions Tomato Chutney Blue Cheese Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to a high heat or light your outdoor grill.
• Sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper and smear both sides of the steaks with 1/2 stick of the butter.
• Grill the steaks until medium-rare, 3 to 4 minutes per side, and then remove from the heat and keep warm. (You can also saute them in a skillet over medium-high heat if you prefer.)
• Melt the remaining 1/2 stick of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and then saute the onions until golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Pour in the cream, a dash of salt and pepper and the Worcestershire sauce. Let it bubble up, then add the blue cheese and stir together to melt, adding more pepper or Worcestershire sauce as you wish.
• Place the steaks on plates and spoon the sauce over the top.
• Take a bite. And the world at long last will make sense.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, yogurt, Worcestershire and salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in the blue cheese; and add a little water if it's too thick, until desired consistency. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
• To serve arrange the tomatoes on serving plates and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Top with creamy dressing and enjoy!

Steps:

• Peel the tomatoes - prick them with a sharp knife, place in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave for a few seconds then drain and cover with cold water. The skins will now come away easily.
• Chop the tomatoes and aubergine and seed and chop the peppers. Put in a large heavy-based pan with the onions and garlic and bring to the boil. Cover with a lid, lower the heat and gently simmer for about one hour, stirring occasionally, until tender.
• Tip the sugar, vinegar, salt, coriander, paprika and cayenne into the pan and bring to the boil over a medium heat, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved. Continue to boil for 30 minutes or so, until the mixture achieves a chunky chutney consistency and the surplus watery liquid has evaporated. Take care towards the end of the cooking time to continue stirring so that the chutney doesn't catch on the bottom of the pan.
• Ladle the chutney into sterilised or dishwasher-clean jars (Kilner jars are ideal) and top with paper jam covers. Seal the jars while still hot. Leave to mature for at least a month in a cool dark place.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• Dry tenderloins with paper towels and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
• In a saute pan large enough to hold both tenderloins, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
• Add tenderloins, and brown well on both sides, about 10 minutes total.
• Transfer meat to a small roasting pan, and place in the preheated oven.
• Roast to an internal temperature of 150 degrees F., about 15-20 minutes.
• Remove from pan and cover loosely with foil, allowing to rest 10 minutes before slicing.
• For the sauce, return the saute pan to medium-high and add the remaining tablespoons of oil and heat until hot but not smoking.
• Add onion and saute 7-9 minutes, stirring occasionally until transparent.
• Add wine and chicken stock, stirring for several minutes.
• Remove sauce from heat and skim any film off surface, then stir in blue cheese, parsley, salt and pepper; set aside, covering to keep warm.
• Slice pork at an angle about 1 inch thick and drizzle generously with sauce.

Steps:

• Place cherry tomatoes into a bowl and season with black pepper, salt, and sugar. Stir in rice wine vinegar. Let stand about 15 minutes to let flavors blend.
• Stir 2 tablespoons horseradish into creme fraiche in a small bowl; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Refrigerate until needed.
• Cut steaks in half across the grain and pound each piece to about 3/8 inch thick. Season each side generously with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Lay steaks onto a work surface and sprinkle each piece lightly with flour. Pat the flour into the meat. Repeat on other side. Let meat rest for 10 minutes to let flour adhere.
• Place a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, pour in vegetable oil, and heat until small wisps of smoke are visible rising off the oil. Lay steaks into the hot oil (meat should sizzle) and sear until browned, about 2 minutes per side. When you see beef juices accumulate on the surface of the meat, flip and brown the other side, about 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and let rest for about 2 minutes.
• Pour excess oil from the skillet and pour water into the skillet. Scrape up and dissolve any browned meat juices from the bottom of the skillet; continue to cook until slightly thickened, about 30 seconds. Pour pan juices over tomatoes and stir to combine.
• Divide about half the tomato mixture with juice per serving into the bottom of 2 large soup plates. Top each with 2 beef medallions and a spoonful of horseradish cream. Grate about 1/2 teaspoon horseradish over each serving and top with about 1 teaspoon of chives.

Steps:

• Season the chicken with salt and pepper, and dust with flour. Shake off any excess.
• Heat the half butter in a large skillet on medium-high until it stops bubbling.
• Add the chicken and cook for about 1 minute on each side until light golden.
• Transfer the chicken to a plate and keep warm.
• Without cleaning the pan (unless you prefer to do so, but not cleaning will add extra flavor to sauce) add the remaining butter, and heat on medium-high until it stops bubbling.
• Add the mushrooms, onion, and garlic. Sauté until the water released from the mushrooms evaporates.
• Remove pan from fire.
• Add half of the sherry, return to fire and boil for 1 minute.
• Add the gravy, and bring to a simmer.
• Return the chicken to the skillet along with the remaining sherry and the chives.
• Cook for about 3 minutes to heat through and serve.
