Best Beef Tartare Endive And French Onion Dip Recipes

BEEF DIP

Steps:

• For the prime rib rub: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Mix the garlic, salt, pepper, granulated onion, thyme and rosemary together in a small bowl. Pour the Irish stout and 2 cups water into a large metal roasting pan fitted with a rack inside. Rub seasoning mix all over prime rib and place in the roasting pan fat-side up. Roast, uncovered, 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Cover roast with tin foil and roast until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145 degrees F for medium-rare, about 2 hours. Transfer to a cutting board, wrap in foil and let rest for 20 minutes before slicing. Save drippings in pan to make au jus.
• For the horseradish aioli: Place yolks, garlic, horseradish, lemon juice, Dijon and salt into a food processor. Process until smooth, then drizzle in olive oil until it reaches desired consistency.
• To make au jus, pour pan drippings into a small saucepan. Add black pepper and minced garlic to taste. Add water if more au jus is desired than what was left from roasting the meat. Bring to a simmer on stovetop, and simmer a few minutes.
• To make the sandwich: Soak a 1/3-pound slice prime rib in au jus briefly, then saute in a pan to warm, and top with two slices of white Cheddar. Served on a demi-baguette with 2 ounces of horseradish aioli, along with a side of au jus for dipping. Repeat with 5 more slices.

BRAISED SHORT RIB FRENCH DIP

Steps:

• For the caramelized onions: Melt butter in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring every few minutes with a metal spoon or spatula, until a rich chocolate brown color, 30 to 45 minutes. (Do not stir too often or onions will not properly caramelize; stir often enough to prevent onions from burning.) Deglaze pan with red wine and cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
• For the short ribs: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat bacon fat in a medium stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the celery, carrots and onions and cook until onions are browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir constantly until well combined and deep red, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in wine and bring to a boil. Add all herbs and garlic and stir in beef stock. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let braising liquid simmer while preparing short ribs.
• Trim excess fat from short ribs and cut into four 5- to 6-ounce portions. Sprinkle all sides of the short ribs with salt and pepper. Brush bottom of a large Dutch oven with a little vegetable oil and heat until smoking hot. Add short ribs. Brown all sides and turn off the heat; turn off the heat to the braising liquid as well.
• Carefully ladle all the braising liquid along with the herbs and vegetables over the short ribs. Cover cook in the oven, 4 hours.
• Using metal tongs, carefully remove each short rib from the braising liquid and set aside to cool. Strain braising liquid. Discard vegetables and herbs, reserving liquid. Set aside.
• Raise oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Slice short ribs and remove any excess fat. Heat braising liquid in a medium pot. Add sliced short ribs and caramelized onions and heat approximately 5 minutes. Remove short ribs and caramelized onions and place inside French rolls; arrange on a baking sheet. Top with Gruyere and toast in oven until cheese is well melted, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve with coleslaw and a cup of warm braising liquid for dipping.

BUB AND POP'S FRENCH ONION DIP

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium pan set over medium heat. Add half of the red onions and the yellow onions, and saute, stirring, until caramelized, 20 minutes. Add the sherry and wine, and cook, stirring continually, until the liquid reduces completely. Refrigerate until completely cool, 15 to 30 minutes.
• In a large bowl, add the chilled onions, reserved red onions, sour cream, salt, pepper and scallions. Serve at room temperature with kettle chips.

BEEF TARTARE (BOCCONCINO DI TARTARA)

Steps:

• Heat a griddle over high heat. Sear the lemon slices on each side until they become slightly caramelized. Set aside. When ready to serve, chop the beef filet as finely as possible by hand using a sharp knife. Form the chopped meat into loose balls, about 1 ounce each.
• Place the seared lemons on a plate and top with the filet tartare balls. Serve immediately with lemon zest and sea salt as accompaniments.

FRENCH ONION DIP

Steps:

• In a large saute pan, heat the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute, stirring occasionally, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown and caramelized. Add the shallots and saute for 8 to 10 more minutes, until the onions and shallots are dark brown. Add the garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes, then chop the onion mixture into 1/4-inch pieces. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
• In a bowl, mix the sour cream, mayonnaise, celery salt, Worcestershire sauce and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Fold in the onion mixture. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight. Garnish with chives and serve with potato chips.
