FIRE ROASTED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH MADEIRA MUSTARD SAUCE AND WASABI MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Preheat a grill.
• In a saucepan, heat oil, black peppercorns, star anise, coriander seeds, and Szechuan peppercorns for 1 minute until aromatic. Stir in red curry paste, tamarind paste, and honey. Deglaze with Madeira and reduce until syrupy. Add the veal stock and continue to reduce in half. Transfer to a blender and process to a puree. Strain and set aside.
• Over hot grill, cook the tenderloin until grill marks appear on all sides. Transfer to a saute pan and pour in half of the strained sauce. Roast in the oven for 4 to 5 minutes or until desired doneness.
• Transfer the remaining sauce to a saucepan and cook over medium heat. Reduce until thickened. In a cup, dissolve the powdered mustard in rice wine vinegar. Whisk in mustard and finish sauce with the butter.
• To serve, cut the steak into thin slices. Nap with Madeira Mustard Sauce and serve with Wasabi Mashed Potatoes garnished with a whole star anise.
• Cut the potatoes into large pieces of equal size. Cover with salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender. Drain thoroughly. Pass through a food mill and whip in the butter, hot cream and roasted garlic puree.
• Blanch the spinach in boiling salted water for 10 seconds. Refresh in ice water. Drain thoroughly. Transfer to a blender and add wasabi powder. Process to a puree. Stir into warm mashed potatoes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

FIRE-ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Pierce the skin of each potato once or twice with the tines of a fork. If desired, pre-cook potatoes by baking them in a preheated 350 degree oven until just soft when pressed, about 1 hour.
• Prepare a wood fire outdoors and let cook down to embers. Place each potato on a square of foil large enough to wrap it, dull side up. Sprinkle with olive oil, salt, and pepper, to taste. Rub oil and seasonings into potato, then gather foil around potato to cover it tightly. If using uncooked potatoes, place them in embers of the fire 1 hour before serving; turn every 15 minutes with long handled tongs (do not worry if foil starts to blacken). Roast until the tip of a knife slides into the potato easily (remove a potato from the fire and pull back foil to test; return to fire if not cooked through). If using pre-cooked potatoes, place them in the embers for 20 minutes to heat through, turning with tongs once or twice.
• To serve, remove potatoes from fire with tongs. Unwrap potatoes with hot pads and cut open tops. Squeeze open potatoes to expose flesh and slather with plain butter or cilantro butter.
