Tournedos Rossini Salad

Serves:
Four Persons

Ingredients:
Sauce
Cassis (currant liquor) 1/2 cup
Game or Veal stock 1 cup
Balsamic Vinegar 3/4 cup
Radicchio, cleaned 1 Head
Baby Mesclun Greens 1 1/2 ounces
Mustard Greens 1/4 cup
Shittake Mushrooms 1/4 pound
Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1/4 cup
Clarified Butter 4 teaspoons
Beef Filet, cut into 16 medallions 1 pound
Garnish
Carrot, peeled and julienned 1
Endive head, julienned 1/2
Chive Sticks, sliced vertically 8
Mousse of Foie Gras(optional) 5 tablespoons



Method:
Make the sauce: In a medium saucepan, add the balsamic vinegar and reduce by half. Then add the cassis and reduce until syrupy (to approximately 1/4 cup). Add the veal stock and reduce to 1/2 cup. (The consistency should be able to coat the back of a spoon)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

On each large plate, take 2 leaves of radicchio and place together to form 1 large cup. Fill with baby greens.

On a sheet pan, roast the shittake mushrooms coated with extra virgin olive oil for approximately 20 minutes until tender. When cooled to room temperature, slice the mushrooms. Add about 1 tablespoon of mushrooms to each salad.

In a preheated pan, heat the clarified butter over high heat, and sear each filet medallion on both sides, approximately 2 minutes all together.

Reheat the sauce slightly in the top of a double boiler. Be careful not to burn sauce.

Spike each salad with approximately 5 pieces each of julienned carrots and endives. Top each one with 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil and place 2 chive sticks in each vertically.

To serve, on each plate place 4 medallions topped with a teaspoon of mousse of foie gras and drizzle sauce over and around the meat.
