HERB-CRUSTED ROAST BEEF



Herb-Crusted Roast Beef image

It's 15 years now I've been married to a man who loves beef. For a long time, though, I was reluctant to cook a roast for fear of ruining a nice cut of meat. Finally, I started buying roasts on sale and experimenting. This bottom round roast recipe was the result... now, my husband doesn't want a roast any other way. -Teri Lindquist, Gurnee, Illinois

Provided by Barbara Kafka

Categories     dinner, roasts, main course

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 5-pound chicken
1 lemon, halved
Kosher salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
2 bunches fresh tarragon ( 3/4 ounce each); stem one of the bunches and leave the other intact
1/2 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Remove fat from the crop and cavity of the chicken. Remove the neck, gizzards and liver and freeze for another use.
  • Squeeze half the lemon all over the skin of the chicken. Season the skin with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with the remaining half lemon, garlic and 1 bunch whole tarragon.
  • Put the chicken in a roasting pan, breast side up, and roast 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the juices run clear. During the first few minutes, either shake the chicken or move it frequently with a wooden spoon to keep it from sticking.
  • When chicken is done, tilt it over the roasting pan to let the cavity juices run into the pan. Remove the chicken to a platter. Pour off the fat from the roasting pan.
  • Put the pan on top of the stove. Add the wine and bring the contents of the pan to a boil, while scraping the bottom vigorously with a wooden spoon. Stir in tarragon leaves. Let simmer 5 minutes once the pan is thoroughly deglazed. Serve the pan juices over the chicken or pass it separately in a sauce boat.

Make a Sunday roast with a healthy spin and seasonal flavours. Our gluten-free chicken recipe is rich in iron, folate, vitamin C and fibre

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lemon
large woody sprig of tarragon
1 medium chicken (about 1.4kg)
450g baby potatoes , halved
2 tsp cold pressed rapeseed oil (about 1.4kg)
1 tsp vegetable bouillon powder
2 leeks , cut into rings (about 300g)
350g asparagus (250g pack plus 100g pack) ends trimmed, each cut into 4
320g frozen peas
260g bag of young leaf spinach
2 tbsp bio Greek yogurt
1 tbsp tarragon leaves , chopped

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Finely grate the zest and squeeze the juice from the lemon, then set aside, keeping them separate from each other. Put the squeezed-out lemon and the tarragon sprig in the chicken cavity. Tip the potatoes into a large roasting tin and toss with the oil and a grinding of black pepper. Sit the chicken in the middle, but not on top of the potatoes and roast for 1¼-1½ hrs until the chicken is cooked but still moist, and the potatoes are tender and golden. Remove the tin from the oven, pour off any juices into a jug and set aside. Toss the lemon zest through the potatoes and leave the chicken to rest, covered, while you cook the greens.
  • Pour 150ml water into a pan and add the bouillon. Drop in the leeks, cover and cook for 2 mins, then add the asparagus and peas. Cover again and cook for 2 mins more. Finally, stir through the spinach to wilt it. Pour the roasting juices into the veg with 2 tbsp lemon juice, the yogurt and tarragon leaves, and stir well. If you're following our Healthy Diet Plan, serve half the veg with the meat from a skinless chicken leg and breast. Eat the other breast and leg with the remaining veg on another day. Will keep for up to three days, covered, in the fridge. To serve, reheat on plates in the microwave. Reserve any meat left on the carcass for our healthy quinoa salad.

ROAST FILLET OF BEEF WITH CORNICHON TARRAGON SAUCE



Roast Fillet of Beef with Cornichon Tarragon Sauce image

Categories     Milk/Cream     Mixer     Mustard     Roast     Beef Tenderloin     White Wine     Chill     Tarragon     Gourmet

Yield Serves 18

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 trimmed 3-to-3 1/2-pound fillets of beef, tied at room temperature
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cup Dijon-style mustard
1 1/4 cups minced shallot
5 cups dry white wine
1/2 cup minced fresh tarragon leaves or 2 tablespoons dried
1/3 cup heavy cream
40 cornichons (French sour gherkins, available at specialty foods shops and some supermarkets), cut into julienne strips (about 1 cup)

Steps:

  • Rub the fillets with the oil, season them with salt and pepper, and in a large roasting pan, leaving space between the fillets, roast them in a preheated 550°F. oven for 23 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 130°F., for medium-rare meat. Transfer the fillets to a platter and let them stand, covered loosely with foil, for 15 minutes. In a bowl with an electric mixer cream together the butter and the mustard. In a large saucepan combine the shallot, the wine, and the tarragon and cook the mixture over moderately high heat until the wine is reduced to about 1 cup. The mustard butter and the shallot mixture may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. Reheat the shallot mixture before continuing. Add the cream and the cornichons, reduce the heat to low, and whisk in the mustard butter, a little at a time, and any meat juices that have accumulated on the platter. Season the sauce with salt and pepper and keep it warm, but do not let it boil. Slice the fillets and nap the meat with the sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: For this recipe, a standing rib roast or prime rib roast is ideal. These cuts are well-marbled and have a good amount of fat, which will help keep the beef moist during cooking.
  • Prepare the beef properly: Before cooking, remove the beef from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about an hour. This will help the beef cook more evenly.
  • Make sure the oven is hot enough: Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) before roasting the beef. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the beef while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Roast the beef for the right amount of time: The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the beef roast, but a good rule of thumb is to cook it for about 15 minutes per pound. For a medium-rare roast, cook it for about 10-12 minutes per pound.
  • Let the beef rest before carving: After roasting, let the beef rest for about 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the beef, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This tarragon-crusted roast beef recipe is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The beef is roasted to perfection and the tarragon crust adds a unique and flavorful touch. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes, asparagus, or mashed potatoes.
