Who wants to make Truffle Steak Tartare?

Ingredients

12 oz lean high quality beef, such as tenderloin
1 tbsp cornichons, grated
1 tsp cornichon brine
1 tbsp capers, finely minced
1 shallot, finely minced
1 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
¼ tsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp kosher salt
1 egg yolk
Drizzle of The Truffleist Truffle Oil
Flakey sea salt to taste
Potato chips or toasts to serve

Instructions

Cut beef into about ½ inch cubes, place in a bowl, and put in the freezer for about 15 minutes. This will make the beef easier to chop, and will also prevent it from getting too warm while it’s being handled.

While the beef is in the freezer, prep the rest of the ingredients. Use a microplane to grate the cornichons, and finely mince the capers, shallot and parsley, then add all of these to a mixing bowl.

Drizzle in the cornichon brine, truffle oil and worcestershire sauce, and stir well.

Take the beef out of the freezer, and, working quickly, finely chop into desired size for tartare. Add to the bowl with the rest of the ingredients, season with kosher salt, and fold to combine thoroughly.

Use a ring mold to plate the tartare, then make a divot in the center and slide in the egg yolk. Season with flakey salt, and serve with chips or toasts and enjoy!

Fall has us *feeling* seasonal acorn squash!

Truffle Honey-Thyme Roasted Acorn Squash

1 acorn squash
2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tsp thyme leaves, picked
1 garlic clove, smashed
2 tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp ground white pepper
1 tbsp The Truffleist Truffle Honey

Preheat oven to 375F.

Melt the butter in a small pot with the thyme leaves and garlic. Do not allow to foam or simmer.

Trim the stem off of the acorn squash, then turn onto the flat cut-side and slice the squash in half.

Scoop out the seeds, then slice the squash evenly into ½ - 1 inch slices.

Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper, then liberally brush with the melted thyme butter. Spread the squash slices around the baking sheet, then brush with the rest of the thyme butter, making sure that the thyme leaves are also on the squash (don’t leave them in the bottom of the pot, but you can discard the garlic clove). Season with salt and pepper.

Place the sheet tray in the oven for about 20 minutes, until the squash is starting to turn golden, then carefully take the baking sheet out of the oven. Drizzle the honey over the squash, then place back in the oven for another 15-20 minutes, until the squash is golden and cooked through.

Remove from the oven and transfer the squash to a plate, then crumble goat cheese over the top and serve!
