Tarragon Beef Roll Recipes

Steps:

• Heat fat of choice in the bottom of a large cast iron dutch oven over medium-high heat. Work in batches to not over crowd the pan, sear stew meat for five minutes before flipping. Continue browning all sides and set aside on a plate. Once all meat is seared, sauté the onion for ten minutes, until translucent. Return the meat, add broth, bring to a simmer. Reduce heat, cover, and let mixture simmer 60-90 minutes. Add carrots, sweet potatoes, herbs and salt. Stir to combine, cover, and let simmer another 30 minutes. Check seasoning before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. Spray shallow roasting pan with cooking spray; place beef in pan. In small bowl, mix salt, pepper, garlic, dried tarragon and oil. Rub mixture on all sides of beef.
• Bake uncovered 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Bake 30 to 40 minutes longer or until of desired doneness. Cover; let stand 15 minutes before slicing. Garnish with tarragon sprigs.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, mix the beef and pork and gently knead them together with your hands. Add the paprika, salt and pepper. Add the rest of the ingredients. Mix to blend.
• The taste test: Heat a small saucepan and add the vegetable oil. When the oil begins to smoke, lower the heat and add a small piece of the mixture. Cook 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and taste. Check seasoning. If too moist, add more bread crumbs. If too dry, add an extra egg.
• Mold the meat into a loaf and place it in the center of a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Using a pan without high edges will yield a meatloaf with a crust. Cook, undisturbed, for 15 minutes. Brush it with additional ketchup and lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
• Bake until the meat is firm when touched or when it has an internal temperature of 150 degrees F, about 45 additional minutes. Remove from the oven, pour off any excess grease and allow it to "rest" for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Brush again with ketchup, if desired.

Steps:

• Melt butter In a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the beef stew meat, and fry for 2 to 3 minutes, or until evenly browned on the outside.
• Pour the chicken broth, water, and vermouth into the stock pot. Add the potatoes, carrots, and garlic. Season with tarragon, bay leaf, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, honey, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and cover. Cook 2 1/2 hours to blend the flavors.
• Remove cover and continue cooking 20 minutes, or long enough to evaporate enough liquid to reach your desired thickness.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season generously with salt. Add lobsters head first to water and cook, covered, until shells are bright red and an antennae or leg pulls off easily, 8 to 10 minutes. Crack one open where the tail meets the body of the lobster. The flesh should be firm, white, and opaque. If it is still translucent, then the lobster needs more time to finish cooking. Drain lobsters head down in a colander to release excess liquid.
• When cool enough to handle, crack lobster shells and remove meat from tails, claws, and knuckles. Tear the meat by hand into 1-inch pieces and place in a large bowl.
• In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon, celery, tarragon, cayenne, pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Pour over lobster meat and gently stir until lobster is well coated. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more mayonnaise if desired. Chill lobster mixture for 15 to 30 minutes.
• Spread cut sides of buns with butter. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and toast buns, buttered side down, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per bun. Fill each bun with lobster mixture and sprinkle with an extra dash cayenne, if desired. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. In a large bowl, combine 1 egg, butter, sugar, chives, zest, salt, tarragon, yeast mixture and 1-1/2 cups flour; beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a stiff dough (dough will be sticky)., Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Knead in cherries and pistachios. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide and shape into 12 balls. Roll each into a 10-in. rope. Fold in half; twist together. Shape into a ring and pinch ends together. Repeat with remaining ropes. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover with kitchen towels; let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 30 minutes. , Preheat oven to 375°. In a small bowl, whisk remaining egg; brush over rolls. Bake until golden brown, 11-13 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks; serve warm.
