Steps:
- Marinate a 1-pound hanger steak (center sinew removed) in a mix of 1 cup red wine vinegar, 1/3 cup cognac, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1 minced shallot, 2 tablespoons chopped rosemary, 4 chopped garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons sugar, and pepper to taste for up to 6 hours. Preheat a grill to medium-high on one side. Remove the steak from the marinade; pat dry and season with coarse sea salt and pepper. Sear over direct heat until marked, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to the cooler side; cover and cook until the meat reaches 130 for medium-rare, about 10 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing. To make the sauce, blanch 1 bunch chives in simmering water for 3 minutes, then rinse under cold water and squeeze dry. Puree with 1 cup sour cream, 3 tablespoons horseradish and a pinch of salt.
BORSCHT HORSERADISH TERRINE
Grimes spent hours exploring Nagyvásárcsarnok, Budapest's largest indoor market hall, where he discovered all kinds of cured and jellied meats, pickled vegetables, and a virtual hanging garden of sausages. This magnificent cold layered terrine, which requires almost no cooking, was inspired by that bounty. Horseradish and sour cream, so abundant in central European cooking, complement the beets and the tongue's smoky richness. The success of this dish depends largely on using good-quality borscht such as Golds Russian Style (avoid brands containing high-fructose corn syrup).

Steps:
- Lightly oil terrine. Cut a strip of parchment paper to fit in bottom of terrine and up the 2 ends, allowing overhang at each end.
- Put 2 teaspoons cold water in a small metal bowl, then sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon gelatin evenly over water. Let stand 1 minute to soften.
- Meanwhile, stir together sour cream, horseradish, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a bowl.
- Heat softened gelatin in bowl set over a small saucepan of barely simmering water, stirring, until dissolved, about 30 seconds. Remove bowl from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons horseradish cream, then stir mixture into remaining horseradish cream until combined well.
- Spoon into terrine, smoothing surface, then chill until set, about 10 minutes.
- Simmer broth, bay leaf, garlic, red-pepper flakes, cloves, and lemon juice in a 1-quart saucepan, covered, 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Put remaining 2 tablespoons cold water in cleaned small metal bowl, then sprinkle 2 teaspoons gelatin evenly over water. Let stand 1 minute to soften.
- Add softened gelatin to broth in saucepan and heat over low heat, stirring, until gelatin is dissolved. Strain broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a metal bowl, discarding solids. Transfer 1/2 cup broth to cleaned small metal bowl (reserve remaining broth in other bowl). Put small bowl (with 1/2 cup broth) into an ice bath and let stand, stirring gently, until broth is cool and syrupy.
- Spoon 1/4 cup cooled broth onto set horseradish cream layer (reserve remaining broth in small bowl at room temperature), then chill terrine until set, about 10 minutes.
- Add veal tongue and gherkin to larger quantity of reserved broth in bowl, then put bowl into a large ice bath and stir gently and constantly until mixture has consistency of raw egg whites. Pour mixture onto set broth layer in terrine and chill until set, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Spoon remaining 1/4 cup broth in small metal bowl over set tongue layer. (If broth has gelled, re-melt over barely simmering water, then put bowl into large ice bath and let stand, stirring, until cool and syrupy.) Chill terrine until broth layer is set, about 10 minutes.
- Stir together borscht liquid, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in cleaned 1-quart saucepan. Transfer 2 tablespoon seasoned borscht mixture to cleaned small metal bowl, then sprinkle remaining 2 teaspoons gelatin evenly over mixture. Let stand 1 minute to soften.
- Add softened gelatin to borscht mixture in saucepan and heat over low heat, stirring, until gelatin is dissolved. Transfer to cleaned small metal bowl. Put bowl in ice bath and stir gently and constantly until consistency of raw egg whites. Spoon over set broth layer and chill terrine at least 4 hours.
- Invert a large plate over terrine, then carefully invert terrine onto plate with aid of parchment. Cut terrine into 3/4-inch-thick slices.
STEAMED HALIBUT IN BORSCHT WITH WARM CHIVE-HORSERADISH SAUCE
This steamed halibut in borscht with warm chive-horseradish sauce from Le Bernardin hits the correct flavor notes for a Passover menu. One could chill the sauce and, instead of the halibut, substitute ovals of gefilte fish, which is often served with beet horseradish. To conform to kosher dietary laws, mayonnaise can be used instead of crème fraîche for a meal that contains meat.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a heavy 3-quart saucepan. Add onions and fennel, and cook slowly about 5 minutes, until softened. Tie garlic, thyme, parsley and chopped cabbage in a double thickness of cheesecloth, and add it to saucepan along with stock and beets. Simmer 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat. Discard cheesecloth and its contents. To serve the dish chilled, refrigerate beet mixture at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Bring 3 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add julienned cabbage leaves, cook just until bright green, then drain. Set leaves aside, covered, to keep warm; for a cold dish, refrigerate.
- Mix creme fraiche, sour cream or mayonnaise with horseradish, sugar and chives. If using mayonnaise, thin it beforehand with 2 tablespoons water. This sauce can be gently warmed in a small saucepan or chilled to serve cold.
- To serve, steam halibut until fully cooked outside and just warm inside, 6 to 8 minutes. Keep warm. Reheat beet mixture, spoon into warmed shallow soup plates, sprinkle with julienned cabbage and top with fish. Or spoon chilled beet mixture into shallow soup plates, add cabbage, and top with gefilte fish. Serve horseradish sauce, warm or chilled, on the side.

Tips:
- Pick the freshest halibut you can find. Fresh halibut should have a mild, sweet smell and firm, white flesh. Avoid fish that smells fishy or has a slimy texture.
- Don't overcook the halibut. Halibut is a delicate fish that cooks quickly. Overcooked halibut will be tough and dry.
- Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of the borscht, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or fish broth.
- Add vegetables to your liking. The recipe calls for beets, carrots, and potatoes, but you can add any vegetables you like. Some other good options include cabbage, celery, and onions.
- Serve the borscht with a dollop of sour cream and some fresh herbs. This will add a bit of richness and flavor to the soup.
