Have on hand: Kosher salt, ground black pepper, olive oil.
Ingredients
· 1 8 to 10 oz Filet of New York Strip Steak
· 1 Tablespoon butter
· 2 teaspoons chopped shallots
· 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
· 1/2 cup sliced white mushrooms
· 1/4 cup brandy
· 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
· 1/2 cup brown veal stock
· 1/4 cup heavy cream
· 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
· Pinch of chopped green onions
· Small pinch of chopped parsley
Procedure
Sprinkle one side of the NY steak with kosher salt & black pepper, set aside. Heat a medium sauté pan and add enough olive oil just to coat the bottom. When the oil just sends off wisps of smoke, carefully place steak into pan, seasoned side down; reduce heat to medium-low. Season the other side of the steak. Cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side (depending on thickness of steak) for medium rare.
Remove steak to a warm spot to hold.
Pour off excess olive oil and add butter to saute' pan. After butter melts add shallots, garlic, and mushrooms. Saute' until lightly caramelized. Remove sauté pan from burner, add brandy, and return the pan to the burner until brandy ignites (light with a match if necessary). Flame brandy until fire goes out. Add veal stock and Dijon mustard and reduce by 1/2. Add Worcestershire sauce and cream, heat through. Stir in green onions and parsley. Add any accumulated juices from the resting steak to the sauce pan and stir in. Serve steak sliced or whole with Sauce Diane and your favorite accompaniments.
Tandoori Chicken
Ingredients
· 2 - 3 pounds chicken pieces, thighs, breasts with bones and drumsticks work well(about 8 pieces)
· 1 ½ tsp. salt
· 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
· 1 cup plain yogurt
· 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
· 1 Tbsp onion powder
· 1 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
· 2 Tbsp minced or chopped ginger
· 1 Tbsp paprika
· 1 tsp. ground cumin
· 1 tsp. turmeric
· 1 tsp ground coriander
· 1 tsp. garam masala
· ½ tsp. cayenne
· 2 drops red food coloring (optional)
Procedure
Remove skin from chicken pieces. Using a knife, cut diagonal slits into them lengthwise. Place pieces in shallow glass dish. Sprinkle with salt and lemon juice. Let sit while you mix other ingredients. In medium bowl, combine yogurt, oil, onion, garlic, ginger, paprika, cumin, turmeric, coriander, garam masala and cayenne. Blend together very well; mix in food coloring. Pour marinade over chicken. Turn to coat evenly, rubbing marinade into the slits in the chicken. Cover dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours. Turning chicken occasionally will help distribute flavor more thoroughly but it is not necessary.
Preheat convection oven to 400 degrees F. Remove chicken from marinade, smoothing out any clumps of marinade. Line baking sheet with foil. Lightly grease and place chicken on sheet. Bake for 35 minutes until cooked through and juices run clear when chicken is cut. Place under broiler just to brown tops if needed.
Garnish with cilantro and lemon wedges. Serve with rice and vegetables.
