SLOW-ROASTED FILET OF BEEF AND BASIL PARMESAN MAYONNAISE

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 whole filet of beef tenderloin, trimmed and tied (4 1/2 pounds)
3 tablespoons good olive oil
4 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper
10 to 15 branches fresh tarragon
Basil Parmesan Mayonnaise, for serving, recipe follows
2 extra-large egg yolks, at room temperature
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves, lightly packed
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup vegetable oil, at room temperature
1/2 cup good olive oil, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees. Use an oven thermometer to be sure your oven temperature is accurate.
  • Place the filet on a sheet pan and pat it dry (all over) with paper towels. Brush the filet all over with the oil, reserving about half a tablespoon. Sprinkle it all over with the salt and pepper (it will seem like a lot but believe me, it makes a difference). Place the tarragon branches around the beef, tying them in 4 or 5 places with kitchen twine to keep them in place, and then brush the tarragon with the reserved oil.
  • Roast the filet of beef for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, until the temperature registers 125 degrees in the center for rare and 135 degrees for medium-rare. Cover the filet with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 20 minutes. Slice thickly and serve warm or at room temperature with Basil Parmesan Mayonnaise.
  • Place the egg yolks, lemon juice, Parmesan, mustard, basil, garlic, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process for 20 seconds, until smooth. Combine the vegetable oil and olive oil in a 2-cup liquid measuring cup. With the processor running, slowly pour the oil mixture through the feed tube to make a thick emulsion. Taste for seasonings -- the mayonnaise is a sauce so it should be highly seasoned. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use; it will keep for up to a week.

Categories     Ham Recipes

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 ounces prosciutto, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
1 refrigerated pizza crust
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
3 ½ tablespoons water
1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
½ teaspoon white sugar
1 pinch salt
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1 (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese
8 leaves basil - stacked, rolled into a cigar shape, and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
  • Place prosciutto in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
  • Lightly oil a pizza pan, baking sheet, or baking stone. Press pizza dough out onto the pan, spreading to the edges, but avoiding pulling the dough apart.
  • Combine tomato paste, water, oregano, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Spread an even layer over the dough. Reserve remaining mixture for use on another pizza. Sprinkle minced garlic over the sauce. Sprinkle 1/2 of the mozzarella on top, then the fried prosciutto, then the rest of the mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle sliced basil leaves over pizza.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese and crust are lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Let pizza cool for 3 to 4 minutes, slice, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This includes fresh basil, good quality prosciutto, and a flavorful pizza sauce.
  • Don't overcrowd the pizza with toppings. Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy.
  • Bake the pizza at a high temperature to get a crispy crust. The ideal temperature is around 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Watch the pizza closely while it's baking to make sure it doesn't burn.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the cheese to set and the flavors to meld.
