Hyeholdes Veal Rossini Recipes

TOURNEDOS ROSSINI

Steps:

• Season the filets mignons with salt and pepper; set aside. In a small bowl, combine the veal stock or demi-glace, truffle juice and chopped truffles; set aside.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, melt a third of the butter with the oil and quickly fry the slices of bread until lightly browned on both sides; remove and set aside. Add another third of the butter to the skillet, and sauté the filets mignons over high heat for 4 minutes a side for rare or 5 minutes a side for medium-rare. Remove the filets from the skillet, set aside and keep warm.
• Using the same skillet and high heat, sauté the foie gras slices 90 seconds on each side and put 1 slice on each of the filets.
• Discard all fat from the skillet. While the skillet is still hot, add the Madeira, scraping the bottom of the pan. Add the veal stock mixture, bring to a quick boil, then remove from heat and stir in the remaining butter to make a silky sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• On each of two plates, place the croutons in the center and top with the filet mignon and foie gras. Garnish with a slice of truffle on the top. Spoon the sauce over and around. Serve hot.

ROSSINIS

Steps:

• Place the strawberries in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and puree until completely smooth. Pour the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve and press to make a seedless puree. Discard the seeds. Add the sugar syrup and Grand Marnier to the puree and refrigerate until very cold.
• When ready to serve, rub the rim of each Champagne glass with the orange zest. Pour the cold Prosecco into Champagne glasses until they're each three-quarters full. Carefully stir 2 tablespoons of the puree into each glass and serve very cold.

BUFFALO ROSSINI

Steps:

• Trim tenderloin of all fat and sinew. Portion into 6-ounce fillets and tie to keep shape. Set aside.
• Potato Puree: Bring the potatoes to a boil in salted water and then reduce to a simmer. Steep the minced black truffles in heavy cream. When the potatoes have fully cooked, drain in colander until dry, but still warm. Push the potatoes in a fine drum sieve or rice into a bowl. Whisk in heavy cream and butter. Finally, add truffle oil and season, to taste.
• Red Onion Confit: Sweat the onions in oil in a small rondeau until wilted and tender. Add vinegar and cook until dry. Add sugar, wine, and thyme, and cover. Cook on low heat until the liquid has been evaporated and the onions are very soft. Hold warm in pot with lid.
• Red Wine Demi-glace: Simmer wine and aromatics until almost all of the wine has evaporated, being careful not to burn. Add veal stock and reduce to until proper consistency is achieved. Strain through chinois and hold in a small bain marie.
• Assembly: Season the buffalo and foie gras on both sides with salt and pepper. Sear the seasoned Buffalo filet in a little oil on both sides until desired temperature is reached. Add seasoned foie fras and cook until just cooked through. Baste meat and foie gras with a little butter and thyme. Drain on paper towel. Place some truffled potato puree in the middle of the plate, place the buffalo on top. Take warm onion confit and place on top of the buffalo followed by foie gras. Spoon warm sauce over the top. Sprinkle with chives and a little truffle oil.
