LAMB OSSO BUCCO WITH RUSTIC LAMB DEMI-GLACE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.
• Season lamb osso bucco liberally with salt and pepper and set aside on a plate. In a heavy-bottomed roasting pan over medium-high heat, heat olive oil on stove top. Carefully place the osso bucco in the hot roasting pan and sear all sides, until nicely browned. Once seared on all sides, remove from pan and set back onto plate. Using the same pot with the lamb drippings in the bottom, add carrots, celery, onions, and garlic. Saute for approximately 10 minutes using a wooden spoon to scrape the lamb drippings off the bottom of the pan and to caramelize the vegetables. Once caramelized, add tomato paste, coat the vegetables with the paste, and brown slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the red wine to deglaze the pan, scraping the drippings off the bottom of pan using a wooden spoon. Reduce the wine by half and add the Lamb Stock and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Place the seared osso bucco back into the pan. Change to high heat and once the stock starts to boil, put roasting pan into the oven. Cook the osso bucco for about 2 hours until it is fork tender, almost falling off the bone. You will want to turn the osso bucco every half hour so that it cooks evenly and does not burn on the bottom.
• When finished, take the lamb out of the sauce and set aside. In a blender, blend the sauce until the vegetables are pureed. Place about a 1/4 cup of sauce into the bottom of each serving bowl, top with osso bucco and drizzle with a little more sauce. It is best served with roasted carrots, onions, and potatoes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large roasting pan, roast lamb bones in the oven until dark brown. On a sheet tray, roast carrots, celery, and onion in the oven until browned as well.

GRILLED HANGAR STEAK WITH ROASTED SHALLOT PORT DEMI GLACE RECIPE

Steps:

• First you will remove the silver skin and the fat from the Hanger steak. You will then add the olive oil, and the salt and pepper to the steak and let hang out covered in the fridge for about 15 minutes or so while you are prepping the roasted shallot sauce. You will take a small sauce pan and add the water, butter, sugar, shallots and bring to a boil. You will reduce the heat and let cook for about another 5-10 minutes. Take your steak from the refrigerator and pat it dry of most of the oil but not all. and add it to your grill. Cook it in a crossing pattern of 2 and 4 on a wall clock to give it the nice grill patterns. I would say depending on the thickness you will cook it about 3-4 minutes each side. You will want to serve this steak rare to a medium rare so it will be on the more delicate side for a tougher cut of meat. Once it is cooked you will remove it and let it rest for about 5 minutes to let the juices circulate back through the meat. while the meat is resting you will finish the shallot sauce. You will then remove the shallots form the sugar water and mince them up. You wil take a new sauce pan, or clean the one you just used and add the Port, the shallots and the demi over a medium to medium high heat and reduce by half. When it is reduced by half remove from the heat. You will begin to cut your steak cross the grain and into about 1/4 inch slices and plate. You will then add your roasted shallot sauce. This is an excellent meal served with a starch of some sort such as a baked or fried potato wedges. Enjoy!
