Best Petite Filet With Wasabi Cream Recipes

ASIAN CHICKEN STACKS WITH WASABI CREAM

Steps:

• Heat butter in a medium skillet. Brown the chicken thighs for a couple of minutes on the skin-side in butter. Flip over and place the chile, garlic cloves, star anise, and lime juice in the skillet. Cover the pan and cook over medium-low heat for 30 to 35 minutes or until chicken is very tender.
• While the chicken cooks, prepare the gyoza wrappers by heating a skillet over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of the wrappers with the sesame oil. Place the wrappers in the hot pan a few at a time until just beginning to form bubbles on the surface and brown. Flip over and do other side. Place on a rack to cool and continue with the remaining wrappers. Set aside.
• Combine the sauce ingredients together and set aside. Combine the wasabi cream ingredients together and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Remove the chicken from the cooking liquid. Using 2 forks, shred the chicken. Place the chicken back in the pan with just enough cooking liquid to keep it moist. Place over very low heat to keep warm.
• Combine the scallions, cucumber, and snow peas. Toss with a little of the prepared sauce.
• To serve, drizzle some of the sauce on each serving plate. Place 1 of the gyoza wrappers on a serving plate. Top with some of the watercress. Layer on some of the shredded chicken. Add another pot sticker wrapper to the stack. Top with some of the vegetables. Add the last wrapper to each stack. Top with wasabi cream and additional fresh scallions, if desired.

PETITE FILET WITH GORGONZOLA AND PORCINI MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Sprinkle both sides of the beef with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe medium skillet over high heat. When the oil is hot, carefully place the filet in the pan. Cook until browned on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes a side. Transfer the steak to the oven and bake until a meat thermometer reads 130 degrees F. for medium-rare, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the beef from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and the shallots and cook until golden brown and tender, about 5 minutes. Add the thyme, white wine, salt, and pepper and continue to cook until all of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the Gorgonzola, mayonnaise, and mustard in a food processor and combine until smooth. Transfer the Gorgonzola mixture to the skillet with mushrooms and shallots. Gently stir the cheese mixture into the mushroom mixture.
• Slice the beef and serve topped with a dollop of the cheese sauce. Reserve leftover sauce for another use.

YELLOWFIN TUNA WITH WASABI CREAM

Steps:

• In a spice grinder, coarsely grind peppercorns. Coat the tuna with the peppercorns, pressing them into the flesh of the fish. Add oil to a hot saute pan. Sear the tuna in the saute pan, for about 1 minute per side. Remove tuna from the pan and slice into 1/4 inch thick slices. In a saucepan, combine the soy sauce and orange juice and bring to a boil. Boil the soy sauce mixture until reduced by 70 percent and has achieved a syrup consistency. Cool. Whip the cream. Fold in the wasabi powder. Drizzle a little orange soy sauce onto each slice of tuna. Top with a little wasabi cream.
