FILET OF BEEF CORDON BLEU-STYLE RECIPE - (4.7/5)



Filet of Beef Cordon Bleu-Style Recipe - (4.7/5) image

Provided by rossboys

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 filets of beef, about 10 oz each, choice grade or above
Salt and pepper to taste
3 Tbsp neutral cooking oil
2 bunches asparagus, extra large, ends trimmed
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
6 Tbsp whole butter
10 sprigs of thyme
1/4 lb prosciutto di Parma, thinly sliced
4-8 slices Swiss cheese or Gruyere
3 cups whipped potatoes, for 2/3 cup per serving (Note: Make them stiffer and place in plastic piping bag)

Steps:

  • The technique: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat a heavy saute pan on medium-high heat. Season steaks evenly and on all sides with salt and fresh ground black pepper. Add cooking oil to saute pan and sear steaks on all sides. Really develop a good crust. Don't rush it. Remove steaks and pour off oil. Let them sit a couple of minutes, then put them back in the pan and place them in the oven and cook to desired internal temperature. While steaks are cooking, trim bottoms of asparagus and peel if you like. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Place them in a single layer on a sided baking sheet and roast them 5-7 minutes. I like mine with a little bite. Remove steaks from pan and add whole butter to the pan. Once it melts, add thyme and then place steaks back in pan. Tilt pan and, using a large spoon, baste the steaks with the butter. Remove steaks and let rest again. Lay out proscuitto and roll around filet. If you need to, use two pieces. You can also use a toothpick to secure the prosciutto -- just make sure you remove it before serving. Place wrapped file on pan and top with 1-2 pieces of cheese. Place under broiler just until the cheese starts to bubble. To plate: Pipe the whipped potatoes onto dinner plate. Lean a pile of asparagus (all tips facing same way)against the potatoes. Nestle the filet in the space left between the potatoes and the asparagus. If you are using a sauce, pool it in front of the filet. (Bearnaise or mornay sauce would go great with this dish).

VEAL CORDON BLEU

This is so good! I love ordering veal dishes at French restaraunts and decided to try making this myself. I was surprised that it isn't that hard. I found this recipe in a 1973 Betty Crocker cookbook. Prep and cook times approximate. Note: If you don't have a wooden mallet, the edge of a plate can be used to pound meat.

Categories     Salad     100+ Pasta Salad Recipes     Farfalle Pasta Salad Recipes

Time 1h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (16 ounce) package farfalle (bow tie) pasta
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
2 cups cubed fully cooked ham
2 cups cubed Swiss cheese
1 cup broccoli florets
¼ cup honey
1 ½ cups mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped onion
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon garlic salt
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the bow tie pasta and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  • Combine pasta, chicken, ham, Swiss cheese, and broccoli in a large bowl. Set aside. Blend honey, mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, onion, olive oil, sugar, and garlic salt in a blender. Stir in parsley. Stir dressing into the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of dressing. Chill salad and reserved dressing in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Stir in the remaining dressing and Parmesan cheese before serving.

Tips:

  • When choosing the steak, look for a cut that is at least 1 inch thick. This will ensure that the steak is cooked evenly and remains juicy.
  • To ensure the steak cooks evenly, it is important to pound it to an even thickness. This can be done with a meat mallet or a rolling pin.
  • When wrapping the steak with the ham and cheese, be sure to tuck the edges in so that the filling does not spill out during cooking.
  • To prevent the steak from drying out, it is important to sear it quickly over high heat. This will create a crust on the outside of the steak, which will help to keep the juices in.
  • Once the steak is seared, it can be transferred to a baking dish and finished in the oven. This will help to ensure that the steak is cooked evenly throughout.
  • Be sure to let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bite.

Conclusion:

Steak cordon bleu is a classic dish that is sure to impress your guests. With its tender steak, flavorful ham and cheese filling, and crispy breadcrumb coating, this dish is a perfect combination of flavors and textures. By following these tips, you can create a delicious and memorable steak cordon bleu that your friends and family will love.
