Method

Beef Cheeks Preparation

  1. 1

    Sear the Beef Cheeks

    Season the beef cheeks with salt and black pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the beef cheeks on all sides until browned. Remove and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Braise the Beef Cheeks

    Add the red wine and scrape up any browned bits. Return the beef cheeks to the skillet, add beef broth, bay leaves, and thyme. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook on low heat for 3 hours, or until tender.

Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes Preparation

  1. 4

    Cook the Potatoes

    Boil the cubed russet potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to pot.

  2. 5

    Mash and Mix

    Add butter and buttermilk to the potatoes. Mash until creamy, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Morel Sauce Preparation

  1. 6

    Sauté Morels

    In a saucepan, melt butter and sauté minced shallots until translucent. Add rehydrated morels and cook for 2-3 minutes.

  2. 7

    Make the Sauce

    Pour in heavy cream, season with salt and pepper, and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.

Peppercorn Demi Preparation

  1. 8

    Prepare the Demi

    In a small saucepan, combine crushed peppercorns, red wine, and beef broth. Simmer until reduced by half, then whisk in butter.

Poblano Demi & Puree Preparation
