Sirloin Bourguignonne Burgers And Mixed Greens With Tarragon Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat grill pan or large nonstick skillet
• Saute onions in a small pan over moderate heat for 3 to 5 minutes until tender. Combine meat with Worcestershire sauce, Sauteed onion and steak seasoning blend or salt and pepper. Form 4 large patties. Drizzle patties with a touch of extra-virgin olive oil. Quick toast your split rolls, then add burgers to grill pan or skillet. Grill or pan-fry burgers 4 to 5 minutes on each side for medium well doneness.
• Heat a small to medium nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add a little oil and mushrooms. Season mushrooms with a little salt and pepper and saute until just tender, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Pile mushrooms on top of burgers just before you are ready to take them off the grill or out of the pan. Fold each Swiss cheese slice in half and rest on top of mushrooms. Place a loose tin foil tent over the burgers and turn heat off under pan or grill. Allow the cheese to begin to melt down over mushroom and burgers, about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Combine balsamic, mayonnaise and coarse cracked black pepper in a small dish.
• To assemble, place burgers with mushrooms and Swiss cheese on bun bottom. Slather tops of buns with Balsamic black pepper mayonnaise and baby spinach. Set burger tops in place and serve with sliced vine ripe tomatoes, drizzled with oil, seasoned with salt and pepper and garnished with scallions. Pile onion rings and a dollop of dipping sauce along side. For drinks, try black and white frozen shakes -- yum!

Steps:

• Marinade: Combine ingredients for marinade in a baking dish or shallow bowl. Marinate the beef and let sit for 15 minutes to 1 hour at room temperature, or overnight in the refrigerator.
• Meanwhile, make Lime Dipping Sauce: Stir sugar and salt into the lime juice until well dissolved. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Set aside at room temperature until ready to serve.
• Saute: Heat up a large saute pan or small wok until hot; very high heat is required so that the meat will cook quickly without bleeding out too much juice. Add soybean oil, sugar, garlic, and black peeper and stir to caramelize for 30 seconds, being careful not to burn the garlic and black pepper. Add marinated beef and stir very quickly over very high heat for 2 minutes. Add mushroom soy sauce and stir to cook for another 2 minutes or so. Cook the beef to desired doneness; it's best served medium-rare to medium.
• Garnish a large plate with the young lettuce leaves. Plate the loc lac beef in the middle. Sprinkle with scallion greens. Serve with jasmine rice and Lime Dipping Sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Set oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large Dutch oven over medium heat cook the bacon until crisp (about 8 minutes) remove to paper towels.

• Add in 1 cup broth and brandy to the pot; boil until reduced to a glaze (about 8-10 minutes) scraping up the browned bits with a wooden spoon.
• Return the beef and carrots, onions and bacon back to the pot.
• Add in wine, mushrooms, thyme, sugar, tomato paste and 1-1/2 cups beef broth; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
• Cover the pot and place in oven; cook for about 1-1/2 hours or until beef is tender.
• Remove the pot from oven and ladle the liquid from the pot into a medium saucepan (spoon off any fat).

• Pour the liquid back over the beef and veggies.
• Rewarm over low heat before serving.
