how the fuck did it take you an hour to make bearnaise??

i get that it's a two pan sauce, but how did it take you an hour to make?

I made veal scallopini in a mushroom demi glace once

it was damn son tier. However it was a little of this little of that situation and I wasn't keeping track of what I did.

I have yet been unable to replicate

It's amazing how perfectly steak and crab go together

>>8451177
I don't remember ;_;

>mushroom tart with seared foie gras on top

Fairly sure I won't ever eat something even close to being that good in my life

>>8451191

i don't think you can make a demi with mushrooms, man.. maybe if you made a bigass thing of mushroom stock and then reduced it down to a few cups, but even then it wouldn't have the consistency of a demi glace because there's no gelatin/collagen in it.

demi is easy to make. what is it that you can't replicate? i'm here to help, anon.

>>8451166
>i get that it's a two pan sauce, but how did it take you an hour to make

Just took my sweet time, and cutting up the onions and tarragon took some time, especially with my eyes watering. Reducing those with the wine vinegar, separating six yolks, whipping those, making clarified butter. . . all things I've never done before. So yeah it took a while.

>>8451138
Not sure what to call it but I make a delicious herb pasta dish with seafood, garlic, lemon and hot peppers. Easily the most consistently delicious thing I make. Whatever sauce collects when it's finished, I soak up with bread to eat so it gets eaten down to literally nothing. Everyone who has tried it has been blown away by it too. Probably not very healthy though but damn does that flavor keep going.

>>8451183

It really is. I can see why it's usually served with a filet mignon instead of a rich fatty ribeye like I made it. Next time. . .

>>8451226

Got a recipe? Sounds good with the hot peppers. . .

>>8451200
I mean I put mushrooms in it after

>>8451239
Sure.

>set 2-3 tbsp butter, olive oil, fresh thyme leaves, and some pickled hot peppers to heat up in a pan or skillet (peppers don't have to be picked. Fresh hot pepper flesh works very well too and adds quite a different flavor. Just put a few drops of white wine vinegar in also)
>while it's warming up and the butter is melting, slice up some raw shrimp/lobster tail/crab meats/scallops/squid, whatever the hell you have. No fish though.
>chop up about 6 cloves of garlic really well and also chop up some fresh green onion and set it into the pan and turn the heat up
>sprinkle sea salt over your meat (whatever you chose), mix it up with you hands then add it to the pan too
>mix everything up in the pan so everything's covered
>now add some lemon juice to the pan (getting just the right amount is tricky. You're going to have to experiment) and mix everything up again
>reduce heat to a low simmer and sprinkle a very light topping of paprika on top and just let it sit for a short while
>forgot to mention that you should be boiling some pasta during this time
>when everything is cooked and the sauce has thickened slightly around the meats, turn off the heat
>strain the pasta leaving *tiny* bit of water behind
>pour everything over the pasta and mix it all up and let it sit and steam off excess moisture for a couple mins
>should look like a creamy sauce in the pasta
>serve and top with grated parmesan cheese (don't mix the cheese in though as it will melt into clumps and ruin the texture)

>>8451138
Nice 30 year old Corningware homie.

Fresh homemade chicken fettuccine Alfredo.

>cream, butter, flour whisked into a thick base
>add fresh grated Parmesan
>thin with more cream until a nice consistency
>add fresh garlic, mushrooms and hand pulled chicken and let slow simmer
>boil noodles
>make homeade garlic bread on whole wheat bread and serve with broccoli

Goddamn I love cheeses. It was fucking expensive for that tiny block of cheese but damn was it potent stuff.

>>8451138
where's the tarragon in that bearnaise or is it an hollandaise?
also why no sides?

>>8451138
to be fair, 20oz is quite a lot (unless amerifat).

>>8451183
ugh, that cheeze(?) looks disgusting, why would you put that on your steak?

>>8451138
I have those same plates.
Good shit

>>8451226
that sounds like the most common way ever to make seafood pasta, like literally every cooking show/restaurant/homechef does that.
it's a nice dish though

>>8451336

Wow. pretty simple besides the peppers and green onions. Kind of how I always make seafood pasta. Thanks bro. I know what you mean about the sauce afterwards and bread!

>>8451353

lol thanks broski.

>>8451390
It's freshly chopped up in it, hard to see in the picture. It's also in the sauce with the onions that was reduced and mixed with the butter and yolks.

>>8451418
yeah ok, really looks like hollandaise in the pic but i'll take your word for it

>>8451390

You can add in Tarragon at the end of it... Which is the way that the french did it. Additionally, leaving in shallots was also for presentation.

OP should've made steak frites.

>>8451354
I've done this, it gets pussies wet. You could put this into ANY girls mouth and next thing you know you'd have a baby on the way.

Fuckin tasty and lasted a week.

>>8451217

it should have been a whole shallot, a couple pieces of garlic, and tarragon. like a handful of things total.. you didn't have to clarify butter.

you could have had the herb/wine/vinegar mixture reducing while you were emulsifying the eggs with butter.

>>8453291
>it should have been a whole shallot, a couple pieces of garlic, and tarragon. like a handful of things total.. you didn't have to clarify butter.

I did it all separately instead of all at once. I like to do that when i am trying something new. If I were to make it again I bet I could cut the time in half at least.

>>8454110

why were you using onion with a delicate sauce like bearnaise?

>>8454132

onion, shallot. whats the difference?

My bastardized version of spaghetti aglio e olio

Ingredients-

Spaghetti (whatever type u like)
1 red bell pepper
3 table spoons extra virgin olive oil
half bulb of garlic, minced (a lot, I know)
1 tablespoon paprika
pinch of red pepper flakes
2 diced bail leaves, or a pinch of dried
A few ounces of leftover chicken
salt/pepper
>julienne a red pepper
>throw it in a hot cast iron pan to get some charring
>in a seperate pan add 3 table spoons extra virgin olive oil, half a bulb of minced garlic, red pepper flakes, bit of basil and a tablespoon of paprika
>heat it like you would aglio e olio
>boil some pic related (I like it better than regular spaghetti)
>throw the peppers in the oil along with a few pieces of some leftover chicken
>drain the pasta but leave a few tablespoons of water
>toss everything together and sprinkle in some salt and pepper
>cum everywhere and wind up making this every week

It's bretty good and relatively cheap, gonna make some tomorrow.

>>8454142

it's milder, sweeter, and more delicately flavored than a white/yellow onion. it's just a different kind of onion for different purposes (sauces, dressings, for pickling are better using shallot)

Chicken pot pie with skin on chicken thigh, potatoes, leek, onion, shallot, peas, carrot.

Separately brown the skin from the chicken, simmer the chicken thigh in stock, simmer the potatoes in salted water, and cook the roux to a darker-than-just-browned. Cook the veggies as normal, adding the peas (which don't need to be cooked) at the end.

Finish the pie crust with an egg wash for that deep golden brown glaze.

Steak Oscar style is just techniques friendo. The bernaise is the hardest part. Do you know how to make a hollandaise? If not, work on that with eggs benedict. That's going to be a lot cheaper than having a broken sauce over steak with crab.

Steak with a red wine mushroom cream sauce and oven roasted potatoes
>Marinate steak over night with red wine, worsteshire, tyme and whatever other herbs happen to be alive in my garden, minced garlic
>Toss golden yukon potatoes cut in spears or quartered with garlic salt, paprika, finely shredded parmesean and truffel infused olive oil, stick in oven for 25-30 minutes
>Pan sear steak and finish in oven, cooked rare
>use pan drippings and butter to sautee mushrooms and onion while steak rests
>hit with dry red wine when veggies are softened
>add cream and let thicken

You're american, aren't you? Gheezous, you asshats sperg over onion instead of shallots, but then you suggest garlic for a sauce bearnaise. Bunch of pretentious twats, you lot.

>>8458855
Yah, but I thought the plate could use a bit of "vegan" color on the side. Never said I was good at plating...

>>8458868
Would have worked better as a ripple on the risotto. Which would have worked better on a smaller, deeper plate so it doesn't run all over. Consistency looks good on the 'otto and the balls are nice colour. Cooking looks good, plating can be improved with simple steps.
My teacher once told us something that I try to stick to; the brim of the plate is not yours. It's for the guest and waiting staff to handle the plate with. Don't put food there.

>>8458882
Huh, the way your teacher puts it, makes a hell of alot of sense. No doubt I'll try to stay away from it.

Outside the salmon dish I made a couple months ago, this was apparently the best thing I've ever cooked. The turkey leg, not the damn Betty Crocker stuffing. I wouldn't know though. I thought it was awful. Apparently I hate turkey legs. By the way those are blue potatoes, not something weird.

First off, this is way too overdone. It should be pink more then brown.

My favorite as far as personal taste was the tenderloin, I think it was tenderloin. However, when I cook meat for myself, I have to cook it well done due to health reasons. So, this was my favorite, but had I cooked it for someone else, I wouldn't have cooked it for as long as I did. I'm done spamming the dishes.

>>8458896
They were really tasty supposedly, but I prefer mine baked in the oven. I think blue potatoes look really disgusting mashed so I don't recommend it if you are trying to make a pretty looking meal.

Oh, just boiled, and then mashed with a little sour cream and butter with salt and pepper. Nothing fancy.

>>8458862
are you fucking dense? you have got to be the stupidest bloody person I have ever met, "onions instead of shallots" "garlic for a sauce bearnaise" you dense twat, Americans have an ok sense of taste, it is not the best like over here in the OZ, but we have sick-as prawns over a barbie

Mind you, not that I don't think you know how to mash potatoes. I'm just saying they had both sour cream and butter added.

>>8458903
Nah, I getcha man. You just telling me your recipe. How was the texture?

>>8458910
Much like regular potatoes although if you like your mashed potatoes with the skin included like when it is made with red or Idaho potatoes, it's unfortunately not the same. I could compare the texture honestly to instant potatoes. The skin is so soft it's barely noticeable. They definitely don't have the heartiness of other potato varieties when mashed even with the skin included.

It should. But correcting someone on their choice of onion for bearnaise and suggesting the addition of garlic while doing so is fucking imbecile. It has nothing to do with home cooks, but all to do with pretentious twats who don't know what the fuck they're talking about.
