BEEF ROLL UPS

Steps:

• Lay out the sirloin steaks, if they are a little thick, use a meat mallet and bash them a little.
• Add the seasonings, olive oil and Worcestershire sauce to the meat, (mix into the meat well on both sides) then set aside and prepare the filling.
• Cut the peppers and onion to matchstick size and set aside.
• In a pan, melt the butter then add the shallots and cook until translucent.
• Add the remaining ingredients and stir, bringing it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat a little and allow the sauce to reduce in volume to half the original amount. As this reduction takes place, you will notice the sauce becomes thicker and a little sticky. Once reduced, transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• Using the same pan from the sauce, lightly saute the peppers with a drop of olive oil for 1 minute and remove from heat.
• Lay the rolls flat, then in the centre of each, place the peppers and onion, and divide the cheese between the 8 rolls. Season with salt and pepper if you wish.
• Roll them tightly then using a toothpick, secure the end so the rolls don't come apart.
• Heat a large fry pan (you don't need any oil as there is oil on the meat already), and when hot enough, place the beef rolls in the pan, seam side down. As soon as they are sealed (30 - 60 seconds), turn the rolls so they cook on all sides. Medium to rare is the most popular, however, you can cook for a s long or short a time as you like.
• When done, remove from the heat, place on a plate and allow to rest for a minute or two, and remove the toothpicks.
• Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the tops as in my photos and serve! Enjoy!

TARRAGON BEEF STEW RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Heat fat of choice in the bottom of a large cast iron dutch oven over medium-high heat. Work in batches to not over crowd the pan, sear stew meat for five minutes before flipping. Continue browning all sides and set aside on a plate. Once all meat is seared, sauté the onion for ten minutes, until translucent. Return the meat, add broth, bring to a simmer. Reduce heat, cover, and let mixture simmer 60-90 minutes. Add carrots, sweet potatoes, herbs and salt. Stir to combine, cover, and let simmer another 30 minutes. Check seasoning before serving.

TARRAGON BEEF STEW WITH VERMOUTH

Steps:

• Melt butter In a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the beef stew meat, and fry for 2 to 3 minutes, or until evenly browned on the outside.
• Pour the chicken broth, water, and vermouth into the stock pot. Add the potatoes, carrots, and garlic. Season with tarragon, bay leaf, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, honey, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and cover. Cook 2 1/2 hours to blend the flavors.
• Remove cover and continue cooking 20 minutes, or long enough to evaporate enough liquid to reach your desired thickness.

HOT LOBSTER ROLL WITH LEMON-TARRAGON BUTTER

Steps:

• To par-cook the lobsters: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobsters and cook about 7 minutes; they will be about three-quarters done. Drain well and let cool. Cut in half lengthwise.
• Heat a charcoal or gas grill to high for direct grilling. Brush the cut-side of the lobsters with some oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill, cut-side down, until slightly charred. Flip and continue grilling until lightly charred and heated through. Remove the lobsters from the grill and let cool slightly.
• Brush the insides of the hot dog buns with some oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until just toasty.
• Remove the tail and claw meat from the lobsters. You can cut them, but just enough to give you about 2 very large pieces per bun. Drop them into the Lemon-Tarragon Clarified Butter and give them a good soaking. Spoon the lobster into the toasted buns and serve immediately.
• Melt the butter slowly in a medium saucepan over low heat. Let it sit for a bit to separate. Skim off the foam that rises to the top, and gently pour into a bowl, leaving behind the milk solids, which have settled to the bottom of the pan.
• Put the clarified butter in a large saute pan over low heat. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice and tarragon, and season with salt, pepper and cayenne if desired.

TARRAGON MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, mix the beef and pork and gently knead them together with your hands. Add the paprika, salt and pepper. Add the rest of the ingredients. Mix to blend.
• The taste test: Heat a small saucepan and add the vegetable oil. When the oil begins to smoke, lower the heat and add a small piece of the mixture. Cook 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and taste. Check seasoning. If too moist, add more bread crumbs. If too dry, add an extra egg.
• Mold the meat into a loaf and place it in the center of a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Using a pan without high edges will yield a meatloaf with a crust. Cook, undisturbed, for 15 minutes. Brush it with additional ketchup and lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
• Bake until the meat is firm when touched or when it has an internal temperature of 150 degrees F, about 45 additional minutes. Remove from the oven, pour off any excess grease and allow it to "rest" for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Brush again with ketchup, if desired.

TARRAGON LOBSTER ROLL

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season generously with salt. Add lobsters head first to water and cook, covered, until shells are bright red and an antennae or leg pulls off easily, 8 to 10 minutes. Crack one open where the tail meets the body of the lobster. The flesh should be firm, white, and opaque. If it is still translucent, then the lobster needs more time to finish cooking. Drain lobsters head down in a colander to release excess liquid.
• When cool enough to handle, crack lobster shells and remove meat from tails, claws, and knuckles. Tear the meat by hand into 1-inch pieces and place in a large bowl.
• In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon, celery, tarragon, cayenne, pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Pour over lobster meat and gently stir until lobster is well coated. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more mayonnaise if desired. Chill lobster mixture for 15 to 30 minutes.
• Spread cut sides of buns with butter. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and toast buns, buttered side down, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per bun. Fill each bun with lobster mixture and sprinkle with an extra dash cayenne, if desired. Serve immediately.
