Wood Grilled Buffalo Tenderloin With Wild Mushrooms And Port Wine Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Place the onion, carrot, and celery with the 2 tablespoons canola oil in a medium saucepan and saute over high heat for 10 minutes or until golden brown and caramelized. Add the port wine and red wine and scrape up the brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon and continue to cook until most of the wine has been absorbed. Add veal stock and simmer for 1 hour. Strain and return to the saucepan. Add thyme and parsley and simmer for 5 minutes. Strain the thyme and parsley sprigs and return back to the pot and let it simmer for about 30 minutes or until reduced to 1 1/2 cups. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and strain through a fine mesh sieve. Keep warm.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place the shallots in an oven proof pan with the olive oil and cover with aluminum foil. Roast for 1 hour or until tender. Toss with thyme leaves and chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
• Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and add enough cold water to cover. Salt the water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife. Drain and place on a cookie sheet. Place in the oven for 3 to 5 minutes until excess moisture is evaporated. Rice the potatoes in a food mill or a ricer into a bowl. Add the butter and half-and-half to the potatoes and stir gently to until desired consistency is achieved. Do not overmix the potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cover and set aside.
• Preheat a large saute pan on medium-high heat. Add 1-ounce of oil and saute mushrooms for 2 to 3 minutes stirring often. Once mushrooms become tender add garlic. Saute for 1 minute and set aside for plating. (Mushrooms may be sauteed a day in advance.) Place the remaining 1/2 cup of half-and-half in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Add bleu cheese and blend with a handheld blender prior to serving.
• To assemble. Preheat grill. Season buffalo with salt and pepper and place on the grill. Grill steaks for 2 to 3 minutes on both sides for medium rare or continue cooking longer until achieving desired doneness. Remove steaks from grill and let rest. On a dinner plate place a small circle of mushrooms in the center of the plate. Place a small amount of mashed potatoes in the center of the mushrooms and place the buffalo on top of the potatoes. Using a spoon, pour 1-ounce of port wine sauce around the mushrooms and a little on the buffalo. Blend the bleu cheese cream until it's nice and frothy, then spoon over the buffalo.

Steps:

• Saute mushrooms in 1 tablespoon olive oil in large pan over high heat. Undercook slightly. Remove mushrooms from pan, lower heat and add shallot and garlic. Add port wine and reduce to half. Add strained mushroom stock and bring to boil. Add mushrooms and cream and simmer 5 to 10 minutes. Add rest of ingredients and season to taste
• Bring above ingredients and 2 quarts of cold water to a boil. Simmer 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Buffalo Tenderloins: Lightly marinate buffalo tenderloins with fresh black pepper, kosher salt, roasted garlic, and 2 tablespoons olive oil for 2 hours in the refrigerator, then grill to desired doneness.
• Teton Black Bar-B-Que Sauce: To a saute pan, add 2 teaspoons olive oil, shallots, rosemary, thyme, and sage over medium heat until shallots just soften, about 2 minutes. Lastly, add garlic and continue sauteing until mixture has caramelized. Add the port wine and scrape up the brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Continue cooking until sauce is reduced by about half. Add berry preserves, syrup, vinegar, Worcestershire, and cornstarch slurry and bring to a boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour through a fine strainer and season with fresh ground black pepper and kosher salt.
• Serve grilled buffalo tenderloin and sauce with braised spinach and your favorite potato.

Steps:

• 1. Mix the flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge the meat in the seasoned flour. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook the venison for 2 minutes per side, and then transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
• 2. Reduce the heat in the skillet to medium, add the shallots and garlic, and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the mushrooms and sauté for about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste. Add the wine and chicken broth, raise heat to medium-high, and cook for 1 minute more. Return the meat to the pan and simmer until heated, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal grill for two-zone cooking over high heat by pouring the coals onto one half of the grill. For a gas grill, heat all the burners, then off turn one of the end burners before cooking. (See Tip.)
• While the grill is heating, place the mushrooms in a large bowl, and drizzle them generously with olive oil (about 6 tablespoons). Put the hot sauce and garlic in a medium cast-iron skillet.
• When you're ready to grill, bring the mushrooms, skillet, salt, cold butter, a tightly folded paper towel soaked with oil, oven mitt and tongs to the grill. (You want the butter to stay cold, so if you're worried about it melting in the sun, bring it out in a cup over ice.) Clean the grates with a grill brush, then oil the grates with the paper towel.
• Add the mushrooms gill-side up over the flame. Cook the mushrooms, turning occasionally, until well browned and tender, 6 to 15 minutes, depending on the size and type of the mushroom. For a gas grill, close the lid between flips, listening and keeping an eye out for flare-ups. If liquid collects in the mushrooms while cooking, move them to an area of the grill without fire beneath to avoid flare-ups, then flip and return to direct heat.
• When the mushrooms are almost done, add the skillet to an area of the grill without flame beneath, so that there's indirect heat. Add the mushrooms to the skillet as they finish. Season lightly with salt and add the butter, stirring to combine until glossy. Season to taste with salt, pepper and more hot sauce, then top with blue cheese and, if using, parsley.
