BEEF AU BLEU
Steps:
- Move the oven rack to the top rungs, and heat the oven to broil for a good 10 minutes. Season the steaks on both sides with salt, and pepper and rub all over with a little olive oil. Set the meat in a cast iron pan, and broil 4 to 6 minutes per side, or until done to your liking. Remove to a carving board, cover with foil, and let rest 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, crumble the cheese into a saucepan, pour over the cream, and gently heat to melt. Carve the meat and arrange on a serving platter. Pour over the juices. Cook's Note: if you feel there is too much juice, you can reduce it first. Spoon over a little of the sauce and pour the rest into a sauce jug for passing around the table.
- Serve with Endives with Oranges or on a bed of watercress.
- Halve the endives lengthwise. Melt the butter, sugar, and vinegar to caramel in a large saute pan, and then add the wine. Lay in the endive, cut side down. Season the endive with salt, and pepper, cover the pan with foil, and cook over medium-low heat, turning a few times, until very tender, about 20 to 30 minutes.
- While the endive cooks, cut the skin off the oranges with a knife, to expose the flesh, then remove the sections, holding the oranges over a bowl to catch the juices. Add the juices to the endive, but reserve the sections until the very end.
- When the endives are soft, uncover the pan, and continue cooking, turning the endives occasionally, to reduce the liquid to a glaze and caramelize the endives. At the last minute, add the orange sections to heat through, and serve.

VEAL CORDON BLEU
Steps:
- If cutlets are thicker than 1/8 inch, pound them between sheets of plastic wrap with flat side of meat pounder. Using cheese plane, shave enough cheese to make a double layer for each of 4 cutlets.
- Pat dry 2 cutlets of the same shape and arrange 1 cutlet on a work surface. Put 1 slice of ham on cutlet, trimming ham to leave a 1/4-inch border of veal around the ham, then arrange a double layer of cheese on ham and top with second cutlet. Lightly pound 1/4-inch border around cutlets' outer edges to seal veal sandwich. Make 3 more sandwiches in same manner.
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Stir together bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large shallow baking dish. Stir together flour, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in another large baking dish. Whisk together eggs, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a third large baking dish.
- Dredge 1 veal sandwich in flour, knocking off excess, then dip in egg to coat, letting excess drip off, and dredge in bread crumbs, patting to help them adhere. Transfer coated sandwich to a rack set on a baking sheet. Dredge and coat remaining sandwiches in same manner. Chill, uncovered, 1 hour, and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before cooking.
- Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides. Add 2 veal sandwiches, then reduce heat to moderate and cook, turning over once, until golden, about 4 minutes total. Transfer to plates and wipe out skillet with paper towels. Cook remaining sandwiches in remaining butter and oil in same manner.
BEEF STROGANOFF FROM LE CORDON BLEU
Stroganoff is of Russian origin, and there are many variations. This wonderful stroganoff recipe comes from a book by chefs from Le Cordon Bleu cooking schools. It's made with filet of beef or sirloin strips instead of the usual ground beef, and takes less than 30 minutes start to finish. Perfect for company -or- a busy weeknight meal! Tip: For variation, I sometimes like to add a handful of sliced fresh mushrooms along with the shallots or onions, and a half teaspoon of Dijon plus a tablespoon of brandy added to the sauce is quite tasty. I usually serve our stroganoff over egg noodles, but rice or potatoes would be equally good. A salad of mixed greens is nice, to round out the meal. Hope you enjoy as much as we do!

FILET OF BEEF CORDON BLEU-STYLE RECIPE - (4.7/5)

Steps:
- The technique: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat a heavy saute pan on medium-high heat. Season steaks evenly and on all sides with salt and fresh ground black pepper. Add cooking oil to saute pan and sear steaks on all sides. Really develop a good crust. Don't rush it. Remove steaks and pour off oil. Let them sit a couple of minutes, then put them back in the pan and place them in the oven and cook to desired internal temperature. While steaks are cooking, trim bottoms of asparagus and peel if you like. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Place them in a single layer on a sided baking sheet and roast them 5-7 minutes. I like mine with a little bite. Remove steaks from pan and add whole butter to the pan. Once it melts, add thyme and then place steaks back in pan. Tilt pan and, using a large spoon, baste the steaks with the butter. Remove steaks and let rest again. Lay out proscuitto and roll around filet. If you need to, use two pieces. You can also use a toothpick to secure the prosciutto -- just make sure you remove it before serving. Place wrapped file on pan and top with 1-2 pieces of cheese. Place under broiler just until the cheese starts to bubble. To plate: Pipe the whipped potatoes onto dinner plate. Lean a pile of asparagus (all tips facing same way)against the potatoes. Nestle the filet in the space left between the potatoes and the asparagus. If you are using a sauce, pool it in front of the filet. (Bearnaise or mornay sauce would go great with this dish).
Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality ingredients. This means using a good quality cut of beef tenderloin, as well as fresh vegetables and herbs.
- Make sure to pound the beef tenderloin to an even thickness. This will help it cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the beef tenderloin. It should be cooked to medium-rare or medium, so that it is still slightly pink in the center.
- If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin to pound the beef tenderloin.
- To make the cordon bleu sauce, use a good quality white wine. A dry white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay, will work well.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the sauce will be thinner.
- Serve the filet of beef cordon bleu immediately after it is cooked. This will help to keep it moist and juicy.
Conclusion:
Filet of beef cordon bleu is a classic dish that is sure to impress your guests. It is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. With a little bit of planning and effort, you can easily make this dish at home. So next time you're looking for a special meal to make, give filet of beef cordon bleu a try.
