Categories     main-dish

Time 14h

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

10 pounds beef short ribs
Salt and black pepper
1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter
4 stalks celery, roughly chopped
4 large carrots, roughly chopped
2 medium onions, chopped
2 1/2 cups dry red wine
1 cup low-salt beef stock
2/3 cup medium-dry sherry
4 cloves garlic, peeled
4 bay leaves
2 large sprigs thyme
8 English muffins, halved and toasted or grilled
16 eggs, poached
Hollandaise sauce, for serving
Sauteed arugula, for serving

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the short ribs with salt and pepper. Melt the butter in a large, wide pot over medium-high heat. Working in two batches, cook the short ribs until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes per batch. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Add the celery, carrots and onions to the pot and saute until beginning to soften and brown, about 5 minutes. Add the red wine, beef stock, sherry, garlic, bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot. Add salt and pepper to taste. Return the browned short ribs to the pot in a single layer, propping them up on their sides. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for 1 hour.
  • Turn the short ribs with tongs and continue simmering, covered, until the short ribs are tender and the sauce is very thick, up to 12 hours, turning occasionally and rearranging the ribs in the pot to prevent sticking. When the meat is beginning to fall off the bone, turn off the heat, uncover the pot and let cool for 30 minutes.
  • Transfer the short ribs to a work surface and separate the meat from the bones; discard the bones. Cut the meat into 3/4- to 1-inch pieces, trimming any fat. Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs from the pot and skim the fat from the sauce. Return the meat to the pot and keep warm.
  • To assemble: Place the toasted English muffin halves on plates. Top each muffin half with 6 ounces of short ribs and a poached egg, then cover with hollandaise and garnish with sauteed arugula.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 Tbsp butter
1/2 Tbsp all purpose flour
1/2 c milk, 2%
1/2 c whipping cream
1/4 c asiago cheese, grated
1/4 tsp lemon juice
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper, ground
salt & pepper to taste
1 Tbsp shallots, chopped & lightly sauteed
2 c spinach, lightly steamed or sauteed
4 slice ham
4 large eggs, poached
2 english muffins, split & toasted

Steps:

  • 1. Have all ingredients close at hand and prepared (chopped etc as required)
  • 2. In a sauce pot, medium low heat, melt butter and stir in the flour, blending well
  • 3. Slowly add the milk and cream to the butter mixture in your sauce pot, whisking constantly to blend smoothly
  • 4. Mix in the lemon juice and the ground cayenne pepper
  • 5. Add the grated cheese (more cheese may be added for a cheesier flavour if desired. Keep in mind that the cheese will further thicken the sauce).
  • 6. Do not allow the sauce to boil! You want a low simmer. Turn the temperature down as required.
  • 7. Allow the sauce to cook and thicken to desired consistency. It will thicken as it sits.
  • 8. Heat the ham slices by frying lightly, steaming or nuke.
  • 9. Quickly steam/fry the spinach and shallots together and heat thoroughly (if you have not already done so)
  • 10. To plate: set out 1/2 English muffin on each plate. Top each with a ham slice, 1/4 - 1/2 cup of spinach and a poached egg on top. Spoon sauce over the top of your egg (with a bit extra for 'dipping'!) Serve hot with pepper for those that want it.
  • 11. TIP: Keep a warmed oven on the ready to stow your items before plating them.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your Eggs Benedict.
  • Make sure your eggs are poached correctly. They should be cooked until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
  • Use a good quality hollandaise sauce. You can make your own or use a store-bought brand.
  • Assemble the Eggs Benedict just before serving. This will help to prevent the hollandaise sauce from curdling.
  • Serve the Eggs Benedict with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include smoked salmon, bacon, and avocado.

Conclusion:

Eggs Benedict is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make Eggs Benedict at home that is just as good as what you would get at a restaurant. So next time you're looking for a special brunch recipe, give Eggs Benedict a try!
