Red Wine Jus Jamie Oliver Recipes

BEEF BRISKET WITH RED WINE & SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Peel the shallots and garlic. Heat the oil in a pressure cooker (or heavy-based casserole). Add the beef and turn it every couple of minutes, or until it's golden on all sides. Remove and set aside.
• Add the whole shallots and garlic to the pan and cook for around 10 minutes, or until they start to soften and take on colour. Finely grate in around a quarter if the nutmeg, then add all remaining ingredients, except the beef brisket.
• Half fill the tomato tin with water and tip this in too. Season well with sea salt and black pepper. Gently stir until hot and starting to thicken.
• Return the beef to the pan and put the lid on, making sure the valve is shut. Cook on a low heat for 1 hour 15 minutes (or 2 hours if not using a pressure cooker).
• Release the valve and, once the steam has stopped hissing, remove the lid. Leave the beef to rest for 10 minutes before removing. It should flake apart easily with 2 forks, though if it doesn't, it's fine to continue cooking it for a few more minutes.
• Stir the remaining sauce and season to taste. Break apart or carve the beef and serve with the lovely rich sauce spooned over the top.

RED WINE JUS

Steps:

• Put the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat and fry the shallots until golden and caramelised, about 10 mins.
• Add the port, wine and herbs and simmer for 10 mins, or until reduced by half.
• Pour in the stock and continue to cook until reduced by half again, then strain, discarding the shallots and herbs.
• Transfer the sauce into a new pan and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter, then season to taste.

RED WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Pour the fat out of the pan you cooked your steaks in, but don't clean it. Place the pan back on the heat with half the butter and the shallots and sizzle for 2 mins to soften. Stir in the flour and cook to a sandy paste, then splash in the vinegar and simmer for a moment. Pour in the wine and stir, scraping any sticky bits off the bottom of the pan. Bring to the boil and bubble for a minute, then whisk in the mustard and then the stock.
• Boil the sauce down to about 200ml in total, then taste and season. Whisk in the remaining butter and the parsley, plus any resting juices from the steaks. Serve the steaks on warm plates and spoon the sauce over the top.

SEARED DUCK BREAST WITH RED WINE JUS AND ORANGE, OLIVE OIL MASH RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180˚C (350˚F).
• Lightly score the duck skin with a sharp knife. Make sure not to cut through to the flesh.
• Season each side of the duck breast with 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper each.
• Fry the duck breast skin side down on medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes with the garlic and rosemaries. Flip and fry the other side for 1 minute.
• Put the duck breast in the oven for 6-8 minutes for medium rare; 10 minutes for medium well. Rest for 6 minutes before serving.
• For the mashed potato, chuck all the ingredients in the boiled potato, mix well.
• For the Red Wine Jus, use the pan you fried the duck breasts in. Take out the rosemary stalks, crush the garlic with a fork.
• Fry the garlic for a minute or two on medium low heat. Add in the flour and fry for another minute or until all the fat in the pan have binded to the flour.
• Add in the rest of the ingredients, mix well and keep simmering on a low heat for 10 minutes or until it becomes a glossy thick sauce.
• To impress your guests with your presentation game, pipe the mashed potato with a piping bag into a golf ball size mound. Shape using the back of a spoon.
• Place the duck breast, drizzle with the jus and decorate with orange zest and rosemary.
• Enjoy!
