'21' CLUB HAMBURGER



'21' Club Hamburger image

When the "21" Club reopened in the spring of 1987, the new menu - not to mention the new décor - was the talk of both the food world and the society that considered the place home. The principal question in food circles about the menu had nothing to do with such elegant fare as breast of guinea hen or lobster. No, it was the direction of the restaurant's "new" hamburger that stirred the most curiosity. Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey went to investigate, and the result was this marvelous, butter-rich recipe for hamburger, one that should take its place in your repertory.

Time 1h20m

Yield One hamburger

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 tablespoons butter at room temperature
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
12 ounces freshly ground choice chuck (preferably with a 22 percent fat content)
Salt to taste, if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 slices Italian peasant bread, each slice about 1/2 inch in thickness and 5 inches in diameter
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 to 4 thin slices red, ripe tomatoes
2 thin slices red onion
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • Combine the butter, chopped thyme, one tablespoon chopped fresh basil and chopped fresh parsley. Blend well. Place the mixture on a rectangle of waxed paper or aluminum foil and roll it into a sausage shape about one inch in diameter. Place in the freezer for an hour or longer, until it is frozen. This butter may be used a portion at a time and refrozen.
  • Preheat a gas or charcoal broiler to high.
  • Shape the meat into a round ball without kneading. With the finger, make a partial indentation through the center of the ball. Shove one frozen tablespoon of butter into the center of the ball and press to close the opening. Flatten the meat into a patty shape about three-quarters of an inch thick. Sprinkle on both sides with salt and pepper. Place the meat on the grill and cook about four minutes until it is well seared on one side; turn the meat and cook about four minutes longer or to the desired degree of doneness.
  • Brush the bread slices on one side with one tablespoon of olive oil. Place the slices oiled side down on the grill and cook briefly until lightly toasted. Turn and cook briefly on the second side.
  • Meanwhile, as the meat cooks, place the tomato and onion slices in a small bowl and sprinkle with the remaining two tablespoons of oil, the lemon juice, salt, pepper and remaining tablespoon of chopped fresh basil. Toss briefly.
  • Place one slice of the warm grilled bread on a dinner plate, place the hamburger in the center and cover with the second slice of bread. Serve the tomato and onion slices on the side to be added to the hamburger as desired. Serve tomato ketchup only on request. The hamburger is also served with freshly cooked gaufrette potatoes on the side.

Categories     lunch, quick, burgers, main course

Time 10m

Yield Four hamburgers

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds freshly ground round steak
Salt to taste, if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
4 tablespoons butter
4 hamburger buns
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
2 tablespoons lemon juice
4 1/4-inch thick slices of onion, preferably Vidalia onion or red onion

Steps:

  • Divide the meat into four equal portions and shape each portion. Press each portion as gently as possible, just enough so that it holds together.
  • Sprinkle the bottom of a heavy skillet, preferably a black-iron skillet, lightly with salt, if used. Heat the skillet until it is hot and almost smoking. Add the patties and sear well on one side, about two minutes. Using a pancake turner, turn the patties and reduce the heat to moderate. Cook on the second side about two or three minutes or to the desired degree of doneness.
  • If desired, sprinkle each hamburger with salt and pepper and top each with one tablespoon of butter.
  • Meanwhile, toast the cut sides of each bun until they are lightly browned. Arrange the bun halves, cut side up, on four dinner plates. Sprinkle each patty with one-quarter teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, one tablespoon parsley and one-half tablespoon lemon juice. Add one onion slice atop each hamburger. Top each serving with the remaining toasted bun halves, cut side down. Serve with tomato ketchup.

PIERRE FRANEY'S HAMBURGER WITH EGG AND ANCHOVY



Pierre Franey's Hamburger With Egg And Anchovy image

Provided by Craig Claiborne And Pierre Franey

Categories     lunch, burgers, main course

Time 25m

Yield Four hamburgers

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 pounds ground sirloin
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 teaspoons, plus 4 tablespoons, butter
4 eggs
6 to 12 anchovy fillets
2 tablespoons drained capers
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Divide the meat into four equal portions. Shape each portion into balls and then flatten into patties, like broad hamburgers, about four inches across and half-an-inch thick. Sprinkle the meat on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • The hamburger may be cooked on a hot grill - such as a barbecue grill, under a hot broiler or in a very hot skillet - without additional fat. Turn once while cooking and cook to the desired degree of doneness. Cook two to five minutes on each side according to taste. Transfer the patties to each of four plates.
  • Heat one teaspoon of butter at a time in one or more small skillets and add one egg to each skillet. Cook them without turning until the white is firm and the yolk remains soft and runny. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Then slip each, yolk side up, onto each patty.
  • Use the anchovy fillets, either split in half lengthwise or whole. Arrange the halved or whole fillets around the yolks in a triangular fashion.
  • Heat the four tablespoons of butter until they are foamy and add the capers and parsley. When the foaming starts to subside and the butter begins to brown, pour equal amounts of the sauce over each serving and serve hot.

BEEF BOURGUIGNON



Beef Bourguignon image

Like coq au vin, its sister dish from the Burgundy region of France, beef Bourguignon is a stew of meat slowly simmered in hearty red wine along with pearl onions, mushrooms and crisp, cubed bacon. Use a good wine here, something simple but drinkable. It makes all the difference in the finished dish. As with all beef stews, this one is best made a day or two ahead; don't sauté the mushrooms and onions until just before serving. This recipe is part of The New Essentials of French Cooking, a guide to definitive dishes every modern cook should master. Buy the book.

Categories     dinner, roasts, soups and stews, main course

Time 2h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 pounds beef chuck or other boneless stewing beef, cut into 2-inch cubes and patted dry
2 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, more to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
5 ounces lardons, pancetta or bacon, diced (about 1 1/4 cups)
1 onion, finely chopped
1 large carrot, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon tomato paste
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 750-milliliter bottle of red wine
1 large bay leaf
1 large sprig of thyme
8 ounces pearl onions, peeled (about 12 to 15 onions)
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, halved if large (about 4 cups)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Pinch sugar
Chopped flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Season beef with 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Set aside for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or chill in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
  • In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot with a tightfitting lid, cook lardons over medium-low heat until fat is rendered and lardons are browned and crisp, about 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve fat in pot.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Raise heat under pot to medium-high and cook until fat is starting to smoke. Lay half the beef cubes in a single layer in the pot, leaving space between pieces. Cook until well browned on all sides, 10 to 15 minutes; transfer pieces to a plate as they brown. Repeat with remaining beef.
  • Reduce heat, if necessary, to prevent burning. Stir in onion, carrot and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook until soft, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in garlic and tomato paste, and cook for 1 minute. Stir in flour, cook for 1 minute, then add wine, bay leaf and thyme, scraping up brown bits at bottom of pot. Add browned beef and half the cooked lardons back to pot, cover, and transfer to oven. Let cook until beef is very tender, about 1 1/2 hours, turning meat halfway through.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet set over high heat, combine pearl onions, mushrooms, 1/4 cup water, the olive oil and a pinch each of salt, pepper and sugar. Bring to a simmer, then cover and reduce heat to medium, cooking for 15 minutes. Uncover, raise heat to high, and cook, tossing frequently, until vegetables are well browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • To serve, scatter onions and mushrooms and remaining cooked lardons over stew, then top with parsley.

STUFFED CABBAGE WITH PORK



Stuffed Cabbage With Pork image

Provided by Craig Claiborne And Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, project, appetizer

Time 2h30m

Yield Eight or more servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 3-pound head cabbage
4 tomatoes, about 1 pound
1 tablespoon corn, peanut or vegetable oil
2 cups finely chopped onions
2 1/2 teaspoons finely minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 pounds ground lean pork
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
1 cup fine, fresh bread crumbs
2 eggs, lightly beaten
Salt to taste, if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped onions
1 cup finely chopped celery
1 bay leaf
2 whole allspice
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 cups fresh or canned chicken broth

Steps:

  • Carefully cut away the bottom center core of the cabbage. Pull off and discard any tough or blemished outer leaves.
  • Bring enough water to the boil to cover the cabbage when it is added. Drop the cabbage into the water and cook, turning occasionally, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Drain the cabbage and run it briefly under cold water. Place the cabbage cored side down to drain further.
  • Meanwhile, cut away the cores of the tomatoes. Cut the tomatoes into one-half-inch cubes. There should be about three cups. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy skillet and add the two cups of finely chopped onions and two teaspoons of the garlic. Cook, stirring, until the onions are wilted. Sprinkle with one-half teaspoon of the thyme and add the cloves. Cook, stirring occasionally, about five minutes. Scrape the mixture onto a plate and let cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Put the pork in a large mixing bowl and add the parsley, bread crumbs, eggs, salt and pepper. Add the cooled onion and garlic mixture and blend thoroughly with the hands.
  • Lay out a rectangle of cheesecloth of double thickness measuring about 17 by 24 inches (folded measure).
  • Place one of the large outer leaves, rounded side up, just off center with the stem pointing outside. Add a second leaf, the leaf ends slightly overlapping. Add a total of eight leaves, the leaf edges overlapping to form a circle.
  • Add two cups of the pork mixture to the center of the leaves and spread it out slightly. Cover with a second layer of six fairly large leaves, stem point outside and with the leaf edges overlapping. Add two more cups of the pork mixture to the center and spread it out slightly. Add a third layer of leaves, edges overlapping, and the remaining pork mixture. Bring up the edges of the cloth rectangle and pull tightly to reassemble the mass into a large cabbage shape. Twist the ends of the cheesecloth bag tightly and tie tightly with string. Cut off the excess cheesecloth ends.
  • Heat the butter in a heavy casserole large enough to hold the stuffed cabbage comfortably without crowding. Add the one and one-half cups of coarsely chopped onions, celery, bay leaf and remaining one-half teaspoons of garlic and thyme and cook briefly until the mixture is wilted. Add the tomatoes and allspice, salt and pepper. Bring to the boil and cook about one minute.
  • Add the wine and broth. Put in the stuffed cabbage, tied side down, and cover closely. Bring to the boil and simmer one and one-half hours or until the internal temperature reads 170 degrees.
  • Remove the cabbage from the casserole. Cut away and remove the cheesecloth bag. Line a mixing bowl with a sieve and pour the liquid and solids from the casserole into it. Strain, pressing the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Reheat this sauce.
  • Cut the cabbage into pie-shaped wedges and serve with the hot sauce.
