Beef Brochettes With Mustard Garlic Cream Recipes

MARINATED BEEF TENDERLOIN SKEWERS WITH MUSTARD HORSERADISH CREAM

Steps:

• For the tenderloin skewers: Cube the meat into 2-inch pieces and skewer with rosemary sprigs. Place in a shallow dish and set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk to combine the olive oil, light brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, cumin, salt, pepper, garlic and lime juice. Pour the marinade over the meat, making sure to coat all the pieces. Cover and let marinate for 30 minutes.
• For the mustard horseradish cream: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir to combine the sour cream, horseradish, mustard, salt and pepper.

BARBECUED FILLET OF BEEF WITH MUSTARDY SOURED CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• If your barbecue hasn't already been heated, light and heat until the ashes turn grey, or heat a griddle pan. Rub the beef with 1 tbsp olive oil and the garlic, season well with salt, then coat each side with the crushed peppercorns. Put on the barbecue or in an almost smoking griddle pan. Brush the top with the rest of the oil using the thyme, then place the thyme on top. Once the underside is charred with a nice crust (about 5 mins), remove the thyme and set aside, turn the fillet over and cook for about 5 mins more.
• Test the temperature of your fillet using a meat thermometer to make sure you don't overcook it. For medium rare, you want it between 52-55C. Once at the desired temperature, remove the meat to a board, place the thyme and garlic on top and cover in foil. Leave to rest for about 5 mins.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce by combining the soured cream and mustard in a bowl. Season and set aside. Transfer the beef to a clean board, slice into 2-3cm thick pieces and serve with the sauce.

MUSTARD-ROASTED BEEF FILLET

Steps:

• Season the fillets generously with the cracked pepper and salt. Heat the oil in a large frying pan or flameproof roasting tray until starting to smoke. Then, one at a time, sear the fillets until brown on all sides - about 6 mins per fillet. Leave the beef to cool slightly. Meanwhile, lay the prosciutto so that it's overlapping on two large sheets of greaseproof paper.
• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Brush the beef all over with mustard and place on the prosciutto. Wrap the prosciutto around the beef and secure with string.
• Sit the fillets next to each other on a roasting tray and roast for 40 mins for medium or 50 mins for well done. Leave the beef to cool in the roasting tray. Dab the fillets with kitchen paper to remove any excess juices. Then either carve into thin slices and lay over two platters or place the fillets on the platters and serve with a carving knife and fork, so that guests can help themselves.

BEEF BROCHETTES WITH RED-WINE MARINADE

Steps:

• Preheat a charcoal grill or an oven broiler until very hot. If wooden skewers are to be used, soak them in water until ready. Cut the beef into 1-inch cubes. There should be 24 cubes.
• Peel and cut the onions into 24 1-inch cubes.
• Cut away and discard the pepper cores and remove the seeds. Cut the peppers into 24 1-inch cubes. Cut away and discard the tomato cores.
• In a nonreactive bowl, combine the lime juice, coriander, garlic, hot pepper, cumin, wine, oil, mustard, salt and pepper. Mix well, and marinate the meat, onions, peppers and tomatoes for 15 minutes.
• Drain the meat and vegetables, reserving the marinade for basting. Place equal portions of meat, onions, tomatoes and peppers on each skewer.
• If the brochettes are to be cooked under the broiler, arrange them on a rack 4 inches from the source of heat, leaving the door slightly ajar. Cook about 4 minutes for rare, basting and turning often. If the brochettes are grilled, cook 4 minutes for rare, basting and turning often.
• Meanwhile, in a saucepan, reduce the marinade by half. Serve brochettes sprinkled with chopped coriander and the hot marinade.
