BEEF SAUCE RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Shape each beef fillet tender piece by tightly wrapping it in a triple layer of film (set its shape), place wrapped beef in the refrigerator overnight, or 24 hours.
• Take the film off the beef fillet tender, then quickly sear in a skillet with 2 tbsp olive oil for about 1 min on each side until browned and still rare in the center. Then take out of the pan set aside, and let cool.
• Finely chop the mushrooms and fry in a hot pan with a little olive oil, the thyme leaves, and some seasoning. As the mushrooms start to give off their juices, continue cooking on high heat for 10 mins or until all the moisture has dissolved and you are left with a mushroom paste (duxelles). Now take the duxelles out of the pan and let them cool.
• Now cut the pastry dough in half, Put on a floured surface, roll all the pieces into a large rectangle enclosed by one of the tender beef fillets, and then place it in the refrigerator to chill.
• Lay a large sheet of film on a work surface, place four slices of prosciutto di parma ham in the center, and overlap each piece slightly, creating a square. Spread about half the mushroom mixture (duxelles) equally over the prosciutto ham.
• Now season the beef tenders to taste with salt and pepper, then put the tenders on top of the mushroom (duxelles) covered prosciutto ham. Using the film, roll the prosciutto ham on top of the beef, roll, and tie the film tightly and evenly on each end shaped like a thick log. Do the same step with the other beef tender; after done, chill both for a minimum time of 30 mins.
• Remove from refrigerator and brush puff pastry with an egg wash. Then remove the beef tender film and wrap the puff pastry around each prosciutto ham wrapped beef tender. Trim the excess pastry, then brush the egg wash all over the puff pastry. Then cover with film and for a minimum time of 30 mins.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 100ºC/212ºF/gas ¼.
  2. Place the ribs in a snug-fitting roasting tray, season with sea salt and black pepper, drizzle with oil, then rub all over. Cover tightly with a double layer of tin foil, then cook for 7 to 8 hours, or until tender.
  3. When the time’s up, transfer the ribs to a baking tray. Skim away the fat from the roasting tray and reserve in an airtight jar (use it for delicious roast potatoes another day).
  4. Place the roasting tray over a high heat on the hob and bring the juices to the boil. Simmer for around 2 minutes, then add the remaining sauce ingredients. Bring back to the boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for a further 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and coats the back of a spoon.
  5. Brush most of the sauce onto the ribs so they’re nicely coated all over, then return the ribs to the oven for 20 to 40 minutes, or until sticky and caramelised to your liking.
  6. Meanwhile, place a small frying pan over a medium heat. Add the caraway seeds and toast for around 1 minute, or until smelling fantastic. Tip into a large bowl.
  7. Finely chop the dill and pickled onions, then add to the bowl with the mayo, yoghurt, mustard, white wine vinegar and a splash of the pickled onion vinegar. Whisk well to combine.
  8. Remove the beetroot leaves and set aside. Scrub and trim the beetroot and carrots, then pass all the vegetables and the beetroot leaves through the fine slicing attachment in a food processor. Add to the dressing, toss and scrunch everything together, then season to taste.
  9. Transfer the ribs to a chopping board, then carve up and serve with the winter slaw, remaining BBQ sauce and creamy mashed potato, if you like.
