SEARED PETITE LAMB CHOPS WITH ROSEMARY BALSAMIC REDUCTION

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, combine olive oil, parsley, rosemary, and garlic. Season with salt, to taste. Set aside.
• Set a 12-inch oven-safe saute pan over medium-high heat. Season the lamb with 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the black pepper. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of the oil to the saute pan and place the lamb, fat side down, in the pan. Sear the lamb until the fat has rendered and the skin is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Continue to cook the lamb, turning to cook evenly on each side, about 2 minutes each side. Baste them with the herb and oil mixture. Transfer the pan to the oven and cook until the lamb is rare, about 5 minutes. Alternatively, you can grill the lamb chops.
• Make the balsamic drizzle while the lamb is cooking: Set a 1-quart saucepan over medium heat and add the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the shallots to the pan and sweat until translucent, about 1 minute. Add the garlic to the pan and sweat for 30 seconds. Pour the balsamic vinegar into the pan and bring to a boil. Add the rosemary and allow the balsamic to gently boil and reduce until only about 1/4 cup of balsamic remains, about 10 minutes. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Remove from the heat and swirl the butter into the pan. Remove the rosemary sprigs before using.
• When the lamb is rare, remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. To serve, slice each double chop in half, and drizzle with the balsamic reduction.

BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH ROSEMARY-BALSAMIC REDUCTION

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to the middle position. Heat oven to 450°F.
• Rub beef with 2 tablespoons oil and sprinkle with salt. Heat 12-inch ovenproof skillet over high heat until hot. Add beef and sear on all sides until well browned.
• Place skillet in oven and roast beef 15 minutes. (If you don't have an ovenproof skillet, place beef in shallow roasting pan.) Remove from oven and flip beef. Roast 10 to 15 minutes longer or until meat thermometer inserted in center reads 135°F. Remove beef from skillet and place on warm platter. Cover tightly with foil (temperature will rise to 145°F for medium-rare).
• Place skillet (or roasting pan) over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil and the shallots. Cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until shallots brown slightly.
• Increase heat to high and add wine and vinegar. Heat to boiling. Boil uncovered 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until reduced so about 1/4 cup liquid remains. Scrape up any browned bits from bottom of skillet, then add broth, cranberries and rosemary. Heat to boiling. Boil 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and remove and discard rosemary sprig. Beat in butter, 1 piece at a time, with wire whisk, adding the next piece only after the first has been completely beaten in and melted.
• To serve, cut beef into 1 1/2-inch slices. Divide sauce among serving plates and layer slices of beef on top.
