Instructions

  1. 1 Season steaks generously on both sides with salt. Allow steaks to come to room temperature while you make the sauce.
  2. 2 Stir together demi-glace, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, and cayenne pepper in a bowl.
  3. 3 Heat oil in a skillet over very high heat, swirling carefully to evenly cover surface. When oil reaches a smoking point, transfer steaks to oil; add a few chunks of butter. Sear meat on high heat until brown on each side, 2 to 3 minutes per side; keep them on the rare side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 125 degrees F (52 degrees C). Transfer steaks to a warm plate.
  4. 4 Stir shallots into skillet; cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat; pour in Cognac. Carefully ignite with a fireplace lighter. When alcohol burns off and flames go out, return skillet to high heat and bring to a boil; cook, stirring, a few minutes to reduce slightly. Add demi-glace mixture, cream, and any accumulated juices from the steak. Cook on high heat just until sauce starts to thicken, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer steaks back to pan and reduce heat to low. Gently simmer until meat is heated through and cooked to your desired level of doneness.
  5. 5 Transfer to hot plates and serve with a generous spoonful or two of sauce. Sprinkle with chives.

Instructions

  1. 1 For the marinade: Mix wine, sliced onions, carrots, brandy, garlic, peppercorns, salt, parsley, and bay leaf in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add beef and toss to evenly coat; cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 days.
  2. 2 For the bourguignon: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  3. 3 Strain beef from the marinade and shake off excess; pat dry with paper towels. Strain vegetables and set aside; reserve marinade. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef in batches; cook until browned on all sides. Transfer browned beef into a separate medium bowl; set aside.
  4. 4 Add bacon to the same skillet; cook and stir until lightly browned. Transfer bacon to the bowl with browned beef. Drain the skillet and return it to the heat. Pour 1 cup of reserved marinade into the skillet; bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Return this liquid to the reserved marinade.
  5. 5 Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the same skillet. Add chopped onions; cook and stir until just tender, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in reserved onions and carrots from the marinade; mix well, then use a slotted spoon to transfer vegetables into the bowl with beef.
  6. 6 Return the skillet to the heat; stir flour in pan drippings until browned, about 1 or 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and tomato paste until combined. Add beef broth, remaining reserved marinade, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, whisking to remove any flour lumps; pour over beef mixture in the bowl. Transfer beef mixture into a casserole or baking dish.
  7. 7 Cook in the preheated oven until beef is tender, about 3 hours; stir occasionally and add water if needed.
  8. 8 About 10 minutes before serving, melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until lightly browned, about 5 to 7 minutes; stir mushrooms into beef mixture until well combined.

Instructions

  1. 1 Pour chicken stock into a large pot. Add pancetta, bones from duck confit, and drained beans. Tie bay leaves, peppercorns, thyme sprigs, and garlic cloves into a small square of cheesecloth to create a bouquet garni; add to the pot. Stir and bring to a simmer over high heat; skim off any foamy scum that forms if desired. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until beans are almost tender, 30 to 45 minutes.
  2. 2 Sprinkle pork pieces with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; add pork and brown for 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Add sausage to the skillet and cook until nicely browned on all sides, turning occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes. Cut sausages in half and transfer to the bowl with pork pieces.
  3. 3 Remove fat and skin from duck confit and add to the same skillet. Cook over medium heat until fat is rendered, about 3 minutes. Transfer all fat and browned pieces from the skillet to a mixing bowl. Add melted butter. Stir in bread crumbs and chopped parsley; stir until mixture looks like damp sand. Mix in about 1/4 to 1/2 cup bean cooking liquid.
  4. 4 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  5. 5 Place onion, carrot, and celery in the same skillet used to brown the meats; add a pinch of salt. Cook and stir over medium heat until onion is translucent and the mixture turns golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in tomato paste; cook and stir until tomato paste starts to caramelize and stick to the bottom of the pan, 3 or 4 minutes. Pour in white wine; cook and stir until most of the wine evaporates, 5 or 6 minutes. Remove from heat.
  6. 6 Drain beans over a large bowl to retain all the cooking liquid. Discard bones and bouquet garni.
  7. 7 Place drained beans into a large shallow baking dish or cast iron skillet (about 12 inches in diameter and 3 inches deep). Stir in cooked vegetables and about 1 cup cooking liquid. Add pork pieces and distribute evenly among the beans. Top with shredded duck confit. Nestle sausage halves into bean mixture.
  8. 8 Ladle cooking liquid into the baking dish until beans are nearly submerged. Spread bread crumb mixture evenly over the top but don't press into liquid. Use your fingertips to make gentle indentations on the crumb surface for better browning.
  9. 9 Bake in the preheated oven until most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 2 hours. Remove from the oven and create a small well in the center of the cassoulet crust. Ladle about 1/2 cup cooking liquid (or as needed) into the well to rehydrate the mixture. Use a fork to gently poke into the cassoulet to ensure the liquid is evenly distributed, but try not to disturb the crusty surface.
  10. 10 Continue baking until surface is crispy and caramelized, meat is fork-tender, and beans are creamy and tender, about 30 to 45 more minutes.
  11. 11 Serve in large bowls with a spoonful or two of hot cooking liquid. Top with chopped fresh parsley.
