Roast Beef French Dip With Green Pea Pesto Recipes

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 DIP SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a large, shallow skillet over moderate heat, melt butter. Add shallots to butter and saute 2 minutes. Add flour to butter and shallot and cook a minute longer. Whisk in sherry and cook liquid out. Whisk in consomme in a slow stream. Bring sauce to a bubble and allow to simmer over low heat until ready to serve sandwiches.
• Pile meat loosely across your cutting board or a large work surface. Season meat with grill seasoning or salt and black pepper. Set out 4 ramekins or small soup cups for dipping sauce, 4 dinner plates and 4 split torpedo rolls. To assemble, using a pair of kitchen tongs, dip meat into loose au jus sauce and pile into rolls. Set ramekins or cups with extra dipping sauce along side the sandwiches.

CHEAPO PEA PESTO

Steps:

• Combine the peas, walnuts and garlic in a food processor. Pulse until chopped into a thick mixture. Add the cheese and lemon juice and pulse again until incorporated.
• With the machine running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until a thick paste is formed. Turn off the machine and season with salt and pepper. Pulse the pesto one final time to incorporate the seasoning.
• Serve over crostini for an easy appetizer.
