Salisbury Bourguignonne Recipes

SALISBURY STEAK

Steps:

• Add breadcrumbs to a large mixing bowl. Grate onion over the bowl and stir grated onion into the breadcrumbs. There will likely be some onion "juice" that goes into the bowl as well, and that's good. It will add moisture as well as flavor.
• Add remaining patty ingredients and use hands to mix until just combined.
• Use the side of your hand to lightly score the meat in half. Then score each half into 3 sections. Now you have 6 roughly equally sized sections. Scoop out the meat in each section and form into oval shaped patties.
• Heat 1 Tbsp each butter and olive oil in a large skillet over MED HIGH heat. Once hot, add patties and sear about 4-5 minutes per side, until cooked through. Transfer patties to a plate and keep warm.
• Reduce skillet heat to MED and add 1 Tbsp butter. Add sliced onions and cook for 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook another 4-5 minutes.
• Stir in beef broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to loosen any browned bits. Add tomato paste, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, dijon mustard, salt and pepper and whisk or stir to combine well.
• In a small bowl combine cornstarch and water and whisk until smooth. Whisk mixture into the beef gravy and simmer until thickened to your liking, about 2-3 minutes.
• Add patties back to the skillet and spoon gravy over the top of the patties. Cook another minute or two, until everything is heated through.
• Serve patties hot, over mashed potatoes or noodles if you like, with a generous spoonful or two of gravy over the top, sprinkled with minced fresh parsley (if desired).

BEEF BOURGUIGNON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven. Add the bacon and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is lightly browned. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to a large plate.
• Dry the beef cubes with paper towels and then sprinkle them with salt and pepper. In batches in single layers, sear the beef in the hot oil for 3 to 5 minutes, turning to brown on all sides. Remove the seared cubes to the plate with the bacon and continue searing until all the beef is browned. Set aside.
• Toss the carrots, and onions, 1 tablespoon of salt and 2 teaspoons of pepper in the fat in the pan and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are lightly browned. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the Cognac, stand back, and ignite with a match to burn off the alcohol. Put the meat and bacon back into the pot with the juices. Add the bottle of wine plus enough beef broth to almost cover the meat. Add the tomato paste and thyme. Bring to a simmer, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and place it in the oven for about 1 1/4 hours or until the meat and vegetables are very tender when pierced with a fork.
• Combine 2 tablespoons of butter and the flour with a fork and stir into the stew. Add the frozen onions. Saute the mushrooms in 2 tablespoons of butter for 10 minutes until lightly browned and then add to the stew. Bring the stew to a boil on top of the stove, then lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Season to taste.
• To serve, toast the bread in the toaster or oven. Rub each slice on 1 side with a cut clove of garlic. For each serving, spoon the stew over a slice of bread and sprinkle with parsley.

• Combine the butter, parsley, shallots, garlic, and brandy in a bowl and blend well.
• Place a snail in each shell and fill the cavity with the seasoned butter. (If you do not have shells, you can use escargot baking dishes - this is actually how I prefer to make them. Most of such dishes hold 6 escargot apiece.).
• Place on a baking pan and bake for twelve minutes.
• Serve hot, as an appetizer, on individual snail dishes - or on small folded napkins on plates, to keep the shells from sliding about. Also, small silver forks to easily eat them with are a good idea.
