TEA-SMOKED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH PEAR SALAD



Tea-Smoked Beef Tenderloin With Pear Salad image

A fantastic show stopper! The flavours are incredible and the dish is easier to put together than it reads. I actually cannot take much credit as it is one of my husband's signature dishes. He prepares the beef on the BBQ in a large stock pot; I am the sous chef on this one preparing the salad ;). You can prepare the salad in advance as well as the dressing. Add as much of the fresh herbs as you like. From the local paper. Great recipe if you are trying to reduce carbs. Recipe calories are lower than listed (only 500 per serving) as rice and brown sugar are not consumed but just used for the smoking

ROAST BEEF TEA SANDWICHES



Roast Beef Tea Sandwiches image

These are delicious and will disappear quickly at your next tea party. Better make a few extra!

Provided by Amy H.

Categories     Other Appetizers

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 slice roast beef deli style cold cuts
24 slice cocktail rye bread
1/2 c mayonnaise
1 Tbsp mustard
2 tsp prepared horseradish
1 c baby spinach leaves

Steps:

  • 1. Mix together the mayonnaise, mustard and horseradish thoroughly. Spread thinly onto party rye.
  • 2. Top bread with baby spinach leaves.
  • 3. cut roast beef in half, vertically down the center so that you have 24 slices. Fold slice in half and place one on top of the spinach on each tea sandwich. Serve

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, brisket, and short ribs are all good choices for beef tea. These cuts are relatively tough, but they have a lot of flavor and collagen, which will break down during cooking and create a rich, flavorful broth.
  • Brown the beef before simmering: Browning the beef before simmering will help to develop its flavor and give the tea a richer color.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Adding vegetables to the beef tea will help to add flavor and nutrients. Good choices include carrots, celery, onions, and garlic.
  • Simmer the beef tea for at least 4 hours: The longer you simmer the beef tea, the more flavor it will have. Aim for at least 4 hours, but you can simmer it for up to 8 hours if you have the time.
  • Strain the beef tea before serving: Once the beef tea is finished simmering, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids. This will give you a smooth, flavorful broth.

Conclusion:

Beef tea is a delicious and nutritious drink that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a good source of protein, iron, and other essential nutrients, and it can help to boost the immune system and fight off infection. Beef tea is also a great way to use up leftover beef bones and vegetables. So next time you have some leftover beef, don't throw it away! Make a pot of beef tea instead.
