Categories main-dish

Time 3h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

Ingredients

Two 12-inch French bread rolls, halved and split
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup cornichons, finely chopped
1 tablespoon whole-grain Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon
3 cups Beef Bourguignon, roughly chopped, recipe follows
4 leaves romaine lettuce
2 medium tomatoes, sliced
2 bay leaves
4 sprigs fresh thyme
3 sprigs fresh parsley, plus extra leaves for garnish
1 sprig fresh rosemary
4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 pounds stew beef
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus additional as needed
10 ounces cremini mushrooms, halved or quartered if large
1 onion, halved and thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
4 carrots, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cups dry red wine
One 14.5-ounce can reduced-sodium beef broth
One 16-ounce bag frozen pearl onions, thawed

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Place the rolls in the oven to crisp, about 5 minutes.
Stir the mayonnaise, cornichons, Dijon and tarragon together in a small bowl. Lay out the bread, cut-side up, and spread with the mayonnaise mixture.
Make sandwiches with the beef, lettuce and tomato.
For the bouquet garni: Wrap the herbs in cheesecloth and secure with butcher's twine, leaving about 6 inches of excess string. Set aside.
For the beef bourguignon: Cook the bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until browned but not fully rendered, 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate.
Place the flour in a shallow bowl. Season the beef well with salt and pepper, then toss it in the flour to coat, shaking off the excess flour. Add the oil to the Dutch oven, heat until shimmering, and then brown the beef in batches. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the browned pieces to a large bowl.
Add the mushrooms to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned, about 4 minutes. If the pan looks dry, add more olive oil. Push the mushrooms to the sides of the pan, add the onions and cook until lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Season again with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Carefully tie the bouquet garni to the handle of the pot and drop the bouquet into the vegetables (or simply toss the whole bouquet into the pot). Add the carrots and tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the red wine, increase the heat, and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring up the browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the broth and 1 cup water and return the meat and bacon to the pan. Simmer, covered, for 1 hour.
Add the pearl onions to the pot and cook, partially covered, until the meat is very tender when pierced with a fork, 1 hour more. Remove the bouquet garni. Season the stew to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley leaves to serve.

TARRAGON LOBSTER ROLL

Tarragon Lobster Roll image

Nilou Motamed, Epicurious Editor-in-Chief, swears by this herb-infused lobster roll recipe inspired by her father-in-law Michael DePorte. When available, Nilou prefers soft-shell lobsters, or shedders, for their easy-to-crack shells (no tools required!) and sweet, tender meat. If you choose soft-shell lobsters, reduce the cooking time by 2 to 3 minutes. She also prefers filtered seawater as a cooking liquid, so if your fishmonger has it available, give it a try! Boiling lobsters in well-salted water is the next best thing.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

Kosher salt
3 live Maine lobsters, 1 1/4 pound each
3 tablespoons mayonnaise, plus more if desired
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup finely diced celery
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
Dash cayenne pepper, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 split-top, white hot dog buns
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature

Steps:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season generously with salt. Add lobsters head first to water and cook, covered, until shells are bright red and an antennae or leg pulls off easily, 8 to 10 minutes. Crack one open where the tail meets the body of the lobster. The flesh should be firm, white, and opaque. If it is still translucent, then the lobster needs more time to finish cooking. Drain lobsters head down in a colander to release excess liquid.
When cool enough to handle, crack lobster shells and remove meat from tails, claws, and knuckles. Tear the meat by hand into 1-inch pieces and place in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon, celery, tarragon, cayenne, pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Pour over lobster meat and gently stir until lobster is well coated. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more mayonnaise if desired. Chill lobster mixture for 15 to 30 minutes.
Spread cut sides of buns with butter. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and toast buns, buttered side down, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per bun. Fill each bun with lobster mixture and sprinkle with an extra dash cayenne, if desired. Serve immediately.
