AMAZING SIMPLE RACK OF LAMB WITH CABERNET SAUCE



Amazing Simple Rack of Lamb With Cabernet Sauce image

This is a recipe that I have been working on/perfecting for some time. Inspired by the Rack of Lamb at Outback. I found a seasoning recipe online a few years ago that was similar to mine. The most laborious part is mixing the seasonings. The seasoning is incredible, great for any meat really. The Cabernet sauce is a variation the outback one and is great too. I served this recently with mashed red potatoes. Sometimes I'll do 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon granulated salt, to make the saltiness more uniform.

Time 35m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cabernet sauvignon wine
2/3 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons water
3 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons minced parsley
2 lamb racks
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425.
  • Mix together seasoning ingredients in a bowl.
  • Heat Olive Oil in large skillet to medium.
  • If you like you can trim some fat from the racks. You also can slice them in half for smaller racks.(I usually do whole 8 bone racks) Sprinkle seasoning on each rack.
  • Sear each rack on all sides until browned(2-4 minutes tops) Put racks into roasting pan and bake for 15 minutes to 130 degrees (for medium).Or 20 mins for a light pink med well. When lamb is done take it out of the oven and cover pan with foil and let lamb sit for 10 minutes.
  • While lamb is cooking, make cabernet sauce by melting butter in the searing skillet ( Do NOT wash out skillet -- you want the cooked bits of lamb or "fond" in there for flavor ). When melted add flour and cook for a minute or so. Stir in other ingriedents starting with the Wine and Beef Broth, then simmer for a bit to reduce the liquid. You can add a bit of cornstarch if you want it thicker(My wife likes it to be more like gravy).
  • When everything is ready you can cut the racks into 2 bone chops or leave it whole depending on your presention. Serve with Cab sauce on the side. The Cab Sauce is also great on mashed pototoes. Enjoy!

VENISON TENDERLOIN WITH CABERNET SAUCE



Venison Tenderloin with Cabernet Sauce image

Another favourite venison recipe. This recipe considers farm-raised deer which is readily available in better butcher shops, or some larger super markets. A favourite cook offers up this recipe, and can be found in "Lee Bailey's Cooking for Friends". I like Lee Bailey's recipes because he shops for fresh ingredients; I have tried to make a habit of doing just that for each dinner party.

STUFFED PASTA SHELLS WITH HEARTY CABERNET BOLOGNESE SAUCE image

Categories     Cheese     Tomato     Bake     Dinner     Sausage

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 19

Hearty Cabernet Bolognese Sauce:
8 oz. bulk sweet Italian sausage
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 C.)
2 C. sliced fresh mushrooms
2 cloves garlic, minced
2/3 C. Cabernet Sauvignon or other dry red wine
1 14.5-oz. can diced tomatoes, drained
1 8-oz. can tomato sauce
1 tsp. dried Italian seasoning, crushed
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/4 C. whipping cream (opt)
Stuffed Pasta Shells:
12 dried jumbo pasta shells
2 eggs
1 10-oz. pkg. frozen chopped spinach, thawed
8 oz. provolone cheese, shredded (2 C.)
1 C. ricotta cheese
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Hearty Cabernet Bolognese Sauce: In a large skillet, cook and stir sausage and onion over medium heat until sausage is browned. Stir in mushrooms and garlic and cook 3-5 min. more until mushrooms are tender, stirring occasionally. Remove skillet from heat. Stir in wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Return skillet to heat. Add drained tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Bring to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 20 min. If desired, stir in whipping cream. Stuffed Pasta Shells: Cook pasta according to package directions; drain. Rinse with cold water; drain again. In a medium bowl, lightly beat eggs. Drain thawed spinach, pressing out excess liquid. Add spinach to eggs along with 1 1/2 C. of provolone, ricotta cheese and cayenne pepper. Spoon 2 rounded tablespoons of the spinach filling into each jumbo shell. Place shells in 2-qt. square baking dish. Spoon Hearty Cabernet Bolognese Sauce over shells. Cover and bake in a 350 F. oven for 50-60 min. or until heated through. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 C. provolone before serving. Tips for cooking pasta shells: Use 3 qt. of water for every 4-8 oz. of pasta. Add about 1 T. kosher or sea salt to help bring out pasta's flavor. During first two minutes of cooking, gently stir shells so they don't stick together or to bottom of pan. Sauces can slide right off pasta coated in oil, so avoid using when cooking pasta. Test pasta's doneness a minute or two before the end of the cooking time recommended on the package. Rinse one shell under running water until cool enough to handle and give it a taste. It should have a firm and chewy texture - al dente. When pasta is done, rinse and drain as directed in recipe.

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or as needed

SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH MEATBALLS AND CABERNET MARINARA SAUCE



Spaghetti Squash With Meatballs and Cabernet Marinara Sauce image

I came up with this recipe after finding out that I had to go gluten free. I don't miss the bread crumbs in the meatballs one bit! Substituting the spaghetti squash for regular pasta is also good for those who are counting calories or carbs. TIP: omit the egg if needed, the meatballs will still stay together (I found this out on accident)!

Provided by Emily Elizabeth

Categories     Spaghetti

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb lean ground beef
1 large egg
1/4 cup chopped yellow onion
2 teaspoons minced garlic cloves (about 1 clove, fresh is best)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 (26 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce (Classico Cabernet Marinara Sauce is best!)
1 spaghetti squash

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix all of the meatball ingredients together in a large bowl. Form into 16 balls and place in a 8x8 inch glass baking pan. Bake 25-30 minutes flipping them over halfway through.
  • Meanwhile, with a sharp knife carefully stab the spaghetti squash multiple times so the skin is pierced all around it. Put it on a plate and place it in the microwave for 12-16 minutes on 100% power. It is done when the skin is soft when pierced with a fork.
  • When squash is done slice it crosswise and let cool (cutting it lengthwise will give you shorter spaghetti strands).
  • Pour the desired amount of marinara sauce into a large non-stick skillet.
  • About 5 minutes before meatballs are done begin heating sauce on medium to low heat. When the meatballs are done baking (they should be slightly browned on top and there should be a good amount of juice at the bottom of the pan), scoop them out with a slotted spoon or spatula and put them in the sauce. Cover and simmer for about 5-10 minutes.
  • While the sauce is simmering, scoop out the seeds of the spaghetti squash. Then scoop out the squash on to plates, or you can use the squash shell as your bowl and simply fluff up the squash with a fork.
  • Let sauce cool for about 2 minutes before scooping meatballs and sauce over spaghetti squash.

PAN ROASTED VEAL CHOPS WITH CABERNET SAUCE



PAN ROASTED VEAL CHOPS WITH CABERNET SAUCE image

Categories     Beef     Roast

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 thyme sprigs
1 garlic clove, coarsely chopped
Four 12-ounce, bone-in veal rib chops
2 cups Cabernet Sauvignon
2 large shallots, finely chopped
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups beef stock
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • 1.In a large, shallow dish, combine 1/4 cup of the olive oil with the thyme sprigs and garlic. Add the veal chops and turn to coat with the marinade. Refrigerate overnight. 2.In a medium saucepan, combine the wine with half of the shallots and boil until the wine has reduced to 1/2 cup, 15 minutes. 3.In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Add the remaining shallot and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until golden, 3 minutes. Stir in the flour. Slowly whisk in the stock until smooth, then bring to a boil, whisking until thickened. Whisk in the reduced wine and simmer over low heat, whisking, for 30 minutes. Strain the sauce into the medium saucepan. Season with salt and pepper. 4.Preheat the oven to 325°. In a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil until shimmering. Remove the veal chops from the marinade; discard the thyme and scrape off the garlic. Season the chops with salt and pepper and add to the skillet. Cook over high heat until richly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the chops for about 10 minutes, turning once halfway through; the veal should be just pink in the center. Transfer the chops to plates and spoon the sauce on top. Serve with Potato Puree.

Tips:

  • Choose the right wine: Select a Cabernet Sauvignon that you enjoy drinking, as the flavor of the wine will be imparted to the sauce.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh shallots, garlic, and herbs will give the sauce the best flavor.
  • Reduce the wine properly: Reduce the wine until it is syrupy and concentrated, this will intensify the flavor of the sauce.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: The sauce should be simmered gently until it has thickened, but not so long that it loses its flavor.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and herbs to taste, until the sauce is perfectly balanced.

Conclusion:

Cabernet sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used to enhance a variety of dishes. Whether you are using it to top a steak, chicken, or fish, or simply as a dipping sauce for bread or vegetables, this sauce is sure to impress. With its rich, complex flavor and beautiful color, Cabernet sauce is a perfect way to add a touch of elegance to your next meal.
