VEGAN TOURNEDOS SAUTÉS CHASSEUR
[Vegan Filet Steaks with Mushroom adn Madeira Sauce]
...this is one of the recipes that has two titles...anything with mushrooms is Chasseur (Hunter)...Julia says it's a 'handsome presentation'...
...and it starts with some sautéed bread rounds...
...then you take some mushrooms and shallots (or green onions)...and sauté them in some vegan butter...
...and then I used the same pan and vegan butter to sauté the seitan steaks...I used
Tracy's recipe for the filet...
...and then set that aside...I just balanced the toasted rounds on the edge...Julia says they will need to be reheated...but I didn't want it to get soggy...
...then you add some stock (I used vegan broth)...and tomato paste and boil rapidly...
...I freeze my tomato paste in little balls to be able to add just a bit when I need it...
...then I added the Madeira...Julia says to mix your arrowroot with this...but I'd already mixed mine with water...so I just added them separately...
...then I added my arrowroot powder mixed with a little bit of water...
...boil rapidly to thicken the sauce and let the alcohol evaporate...and add back the mushroom/shallot mixture...
...and then assemble...
...put the filet on top of the croustade...
...and cover with the sauce...
...and of course this was delicious...all of the ingredients work well together...and it's a nice rich sauce...

Looks yummy. What were the "rounds"? pancakes? Did I miss something? Love, K
ReplyDeleteNever mind, I think I see now that is just toasted white bread cut in a circle!
DeleteThe colour of the sauce is soooo perfect! I must do that! THank you!
