Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds ground beef chuck, 80 percent lean
2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 beefsteak tomatoes (slightly under ripe is best)
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 ounces gorgonzola cheese, crumbled or cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Six 4-inch ciabatta rolls (square or round) or your favorite burger bun, halved horizontally
1 cup fresh arugula

Steps:

  • Combine the ground chuck, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt, and the pepper in a medium bowl and shape into six 1/2-inch-thick patties.
  • Slice the tomatoes into 1/3-inch-thick rounds and place on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with the paprika and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Rub with the olive oil.
  • Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the burgers until cooked to the desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. On a clean, well-oiled area of the grill, grill the tomatoes until just charred, about 2 minutes per side. Grill the ciabatta rolls, cut-side down, until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes.
  • Place the burgers on the bottom halves of the rolls. Top each with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the gorgonzola, a tomato slice and some arugula. Cover with the roll tops and serve.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

Demi-glace
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 1/2 pounds meaty veal bones (such as shank knuckle bones or neck bones)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium carrot, chopped
1 celery stalk with leaves, chopped
12 cups cold water, divided
2 teaspoons tomato paste
3 fresh parsley sprigs
2 fresh thyme sprigs
1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns
2 cups dry red wine
Burgers
2 cups water
1 1/2 ounces dried porcini mushrooms,* broken into 1/2-inch pieces
3 pounds ground sirloin
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) chilled unsalted butter
6 4-inch square or round sourdough rolls, halved horizontally
Fresh arugula
Olive oil
6 1/4-inch-thick slices Gorgonzola cheese

Steps:

  • For demi-glace:
  • Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add veal bones and sauté until deep brown on all sides, about 12 minutes. Transfer bones to bowl. Add onion, carrot, and celery to pot. Sauté until browned, about 6 minutes. Add 2 cups cold water, tomato paste, herbs, and peppercorns; bring to boil, scraping up browned bits. Add bones with any accumulated juices, then remaining 10 cups water to pot. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered until stock is reduced to 2 1/2 cups, about 4 hours. Strain into 4-cup glass measuring cup, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Refrigerate stock uncovered 1 hour.
  • Spoon off fat from surface of stock. Place stock in heavy medium saucepan; add wine and simmer until reduced to 1 cup demi-glace, about 25 minutes. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.)
  • For burgers:
  • Bring 2 cups water and mushrooms to boil in small saucepan. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand until mushrooms soften, about 20 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer mushrooms to medium skillet. Slowly pour soaking liquid into skillet, leaving any sediment behind. Boil over medium-high heat until liquid is reduced to glaze, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes. Cool mushrooms. Transfer to work surface; chop mushrooms coarsely.
  • Transfer mushrooms and any juices to large bowl. Add meat, salt, and pepper; mix gently. Shape mixture into six 1-inch-thick patties. Place on foil-lined baking sheet. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
  • Preheat broiler. Rewarm demi-glace over medium-low heat; add butter and whisk until melted. Remove from heat. Place rolls, cut side up, on baking sheet. Broil until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Remove rolls; maintain broiler setting. Arrange roll bottoms on plates. Top with arugula. Heat 2 large broilerproof skillets over medium-high heat; brush with oil. Add 3 burgers to each skillet. Cook to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Top each burger with slice of cheese. Broil burgers until cheese begins to melt, about 1 minute. Place burgers on roll bottoms; spoon some demi-glace over. Cover with roll tops. Serve, passing remaining demi-glace separately.
  • *Dried porcini mushrooms are available at Italian markets, specialty foods stores, and many supermarkets

DEMI-GLACE

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Time 8h30m

Yield About 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup grapeseed oil
8 pounds veal bones (joints preferred)
24 cups (6 quarts) ice water
8 ounces onions, roughly chopped
4 ounces carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
4 ounces celery, roughly chopped
6 ounces tomato paste
5 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
8 cups (2 quarts) red wine
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Pour the oil into a metal roasting pan and put it in the preheated oven for 3 to 5 minutes to heat up the pan and condition it with the oil. Spread the bones out on the roasting pan and cook until browned, 30 to 45 minutes, turning the bones occasionally so they brown evenly.
  • Transfer the bones to a large-enough stockpot to accommodate the bones, 6 quarts ice water and more. Use tongs to transfer the bones so you do not pour any fat into the stockpot. Add the ice water to the stockpot and bring to a simmer. Allow the stock to cook for 4 hours at a slow simmer. Skim the surface of the stock occasionally to remove any fat or impurities.
  • While the stock is simmering, discard all but about 1/4 cup of the fat from the roasting pan. Bring the pan back up to temperature over high heat on the stovetop. Add the onions and carrots and cook until golden brown and caramelized. Add the celery and cook for another 10 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, thyme and bay leaf and cook, stirring regularly, until the tomato paste gets a brick red color, about 15 minutes. Add 1 cup of the red wine and stir it into the mirepoix (vegetable) mixture.
  • Add the mirepoix mixture to the stock after the 4-hour simmering time. Bring the stock back up to a simmer and continue to cook it for another 2 hours.
  • In a separate pot, bring the remaining 7 cups red wine to a boil and cook until reduced by half, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • When the stock has simmered for 6 hours, strain it through a chinois and combine the strained stock with the reduced red wine. Bring the stock to a boil, lower the heat to a hard simmer and reduce the stock until it has a consistency that coats the back of spoon and is about 2 quarts (8 cups) in volume, up to 1 hour. Season with salt and pepper and then strain the sauce though a chinois again.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup beef stock or canned beef broth
1 cup chicken stock or canned low-salt chicken broth
1 pound veal scaloppine
All purpose flour
3 tablespoons (about) olive oil
1 cup whipping cream
3/4 cup chopped seeded plum tomatoes
6 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2/3 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese

Steps:

  • Boil both stocks in medium saucepan until reduced to 1 cup, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Sprinkle veal with salt and pepper. Dredge veal in flour to coat; shake off excess. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Working in batches, add veal and sauté until cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer veal to platter; tent with foil to keep warm. Repeat with remaining veal, adding more oil to skillet as necessary.
  • Add reduced stock mixture, cream, 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes, 4 tablespoons basil and tomato paste to skillet. Simmer until reduced to sauce consistency, whisking frequently, about 5 minutes. Add 1/3 cup Gorgonzola; stir until melted.
  • Pour sauce over veal. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup chopped tomatoes, 2 tablespoons basil and 1/3 cup Gorgonzola.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Ingredients: Opt for fresh, high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor. Look for tender veal, flavorful porcini mushrooms, and creamy, rich Gorgonzola cheese.
  • Preparing the Veal: Cut the veal into thin slices against the grain for a tender texture. Season the veal generously with salt and pepper to enhance its natural flavor.
  • Cooking the Veal: Cook the veal slices quickly over high heat to create a nice sear and lock in the juices. Be careful not to overcook the veal, as it can become tough.
  • Making the Porcini Mushroom Duxelles: Finely chop the porcini mushrooms to create a flavorful and aromatic duxelles. Sauté the mushrooms in butter until they are softened and caramelized.
  • Combining the Gorgonzola and Mushroom Mixture: Mix the Gorgonzola cheese and the porcini mushroom duxelles together to create a creamy and flavorful topping for the burgers.
  • Assembling the Burgers: Place the cooked veal slices on toasted buns and top with the Gorgonzola and mushroom mixture. Add your favorite toppings, such as arugula, tomatoes, and red onions, for extra flavor and texture.
