Salisbury Steak
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp panko breadcrumbs
- 1⁄2 onion, minced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1⁄2 tbsp salt
- 1⁄2 tbsp pepper
Directions
In a large bowl, mix all ingredients until well combined. Take a small amount and cook up however you like, to taste for flavor.
Pre-portion ‘steak’ balls into desired weight (I do 6 oz per).
Wrap one of the portions in cling film and flatten out, creating a steak-like shape.
Wrap once more and make sure it’s nice and tight.
If you have a vacuum sealer, use to seal ‘steaks’. Otherwise place in resealable plastic food bag.
Set sous vide to 54 °C. Place sealed ‘steak’ in water for 1 hour. Alternatively, bring pot of water to boil. Turn off heat and place bag in water for same amount of time.
We are trying to slowly cook and seal in flavors before we remove, season and sear to finish.
Plantain Au Poivre ‘Gravy’
Ingredients
- 1⁄4 lb frozen sweet plantains
- 1⁄2 cup onion, minced
- 1⁄2 cup rum or bourbon
- 2 cups half & half
- 2 tbsp butter
- salt, to taste
- 2 tbsp black pepper
Directions
Fry or bake sweet plantains until very golden brown. Blend with just enough water to make a paste.
In sauté pan over low heat, cook onion until translucent.
Add black pepper, then deglaze with rum, making sure to turn off any flames for initial adding.
Do not be alarmed if you see blue flame from liquid. This is alcohol cooking out.
Once reduced by half, add half & half & plantain paste.
Note: you may not need all the plantain, just until desired consistency and flavor is reached.
Off heat, add in butter and season to taste.
Black Garlic Ancho Marinade
Ingredients
- 2 oz black garlic, peeled
- 1⁄4 cup dried cherries or raisins
- 8 x dried ancho chilis
- 1⁄2 cup oil
Directions
Rehydrate chilis & cherries in hot water for about 15 minutes to soften.
Blend or food process all ingredients until smooth.
Oaxaca Aligot Cauliflower
Ingredients
- 4 cups cauliflower, chopped
- 1⁄2 lb cold butter
- 4 oz oaxaca cheese
- salt, to taste
Directions
Bring pot of water to boil. Salt until it tastes like the ocean.
Add cauliflower and cook until tender. Once done, remove from water but do not discard cooking liquid.
In blender, add enough water to get things moving. On low speed add butter a little at a time.
Remove into a pan or bowl. Add cheese slowly until incorporated. It should be nice and smooth with some very fun stretchiness!
