Beef Tartare Endive And French Onion Dip Recipes

BRAISED SHORT RIB FRENCH DIP

Steps:

• For the caramelized onions: Melt butter in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring every few minutes with a metal spoon or spatula, until a rich chocolate brown color, 30 to 45 minutes. (Do not stir too often or onions will not properly caramelize; stir often enough to prevent onions from burning.) Deglaze pan with red wine and cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
• For the short ribs: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat bacon fat in a medium stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the celery, carrots and onions and cook until onions are browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir constantly until well combined and deep red, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in wine and bring to a boil. Add all herbs and garlic and stir in beef stock. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let braising liquid simmer while preparing short ribs.
• Trim excess fat from short ribs and cut into four 5- to 6-ounce portions. Sprinkle all sides of the short ribs with salt and pepper. Brush bottom of a large Dutch oven with a little vegetable oil and heat until smoking hot. Add short ribs. Brown all sides and turn off the heat; turn off the heat to the braising liquid as well.
• Carefully ladle all the braising liquid along with the herbs and vegetables over the short ribs. Cover cook in the oven, 4 hours.
• Using metal tongs, carefully remove each short rib from the braising liquid and set aside to cool. Strain braising liquid. Discard vegetables and herbs, reserving liquid. Set aside.
• Raise oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Slice short ribs and remove any excess fat. Heat braising liquid in a medium pot. Add sliced short ribs and caramelized onions and heat approximately 5 minutes. Remove short ribs and caramelized onions and place inside French rolls; arrange on a baking sheet. Top with Gruyere and toast in oven until cheese is well melted, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve with coleslaw and a cup of warm braising liquid for dipping.

FRENCH DIP

Steps:

• For the prime rib: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place rib eye fat-side down in a roasting pan. Pour half of Worcestershire over the top, then sprinkle on half of the steak seasoning. Flip and cover with remaining Worcestershire and seasoning.
• Roast for 2 hours. Let cool completely, then slice thinly on a meat slicer.
• For the au jus: Place red wine in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce by half. Add beef base and dissolve thoroughly. Add onion, garlic, thyme and 6 cups water and simmer until vegetables are soft. Strain.
• For the French dip: Split and toast hoagie rolls. Heat au jus until hot, then add prime rib to heat thoroughly.
• Whisk together horseradish and sour cream in a bowl. Spread on hoagie rolls. Layer Swiss cheese in hoagies, then add caramelized onions and top with hot prime rib.

BEEF DIP

Steps:

• For the prime rib rub: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Mix the garlic, salt, pepper, granulated onion, thyme and rosemary together in a small bowl. Pour the Irish stout and 2 cups water into a large metal roasting pan fitted with a rack inside. Rub seasoning mix all over prime rib and place in the roasting pan fat-side up. Roast, uncovered, 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Cover roast with tin foil and roast until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145 degrees F for medium-rare, about 2 hours. Transfer to a cutting board, wrap in foil and let rest for 20 minutes before slicing. Save drippings in pan to make au jus.
• For the horseradish aioli: Place yolks, garlic, horseradish, lemon juice, Dijon and salt into a food processor. Process until smooth, then drizzle in olive oil until it reaches desired consistency.
• To make au jus, pour pan drippings into a small saucepan. Add black pepper and minced garlic to taste. Add water if more au jus is desired than what was left from roasting the meat. Bring to a simmer on stovetop, and simmer a few minutes.
• To make the sandwich: Soak a 1/3-pound slice prime rib in au jus briefly, then saute in a pan to warm, and top with two slices of white Cheddar. Served on a demi-baguette with 2 ounces of horseradish aioli, along with a side of au jus for dipping. Repeat with 5 more slices.

FRENCH ONION DIP

Steps:

• In a large saute pan, heat the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute, stirring occasionally, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown and caramelized. Add the shallots and saute for 8 to 10 more minutes, until the onions and shallots are dark brown. Add the garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes, then chop the onion mixture into 1/4-inch pieces. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
• In a bowl, mix the sour cream, mayonnaise, celery salt, Worcestershire sauce and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Fold in the onion mixture. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight. Garnish with chives and serve with potato chips.

FRENCH ONION ROAST BEEF PULL-APART SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Make the dressing: Mix the mayonnaise, pickles, ketchup, horseradish, dill, onion powder and hot sauce in a small bowl; season with salt. Cover and refrigerate.
• Make the sandwiches: Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour 4 tablespoons of the butter into a small bowl and set aside. Add the onions and thyme to the skillet with the remaining butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Add the sherry to the skillet; cook until evaporated. Add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce and return to a simmer. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half and the onions are caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Trim the ends off the bread loaf. Cut the bread on an angle into 12 slices, leaving the bottom of the loaf intact. (You can position chopsticks along the long sides of the bread to keep from cutting all the way through the loaf.) Transfer to the baking sheet.
• Brush the reserved melted butter between the bread slices and all over the loaf. Set aside about one-third of the onions. Fill every other slice of the loaf with the remaining onions, starting with the first slice. Fold the roast beef and tuck into the onion-filled slices, along with the cheese. Top the loaf with the reserved onions and any onion juices.
• Bake until the cheese is browned and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Pull apart or slice into individual sandwiches. Serve with the dressing.
