Beefsteak Jerome Leplat

By James Beard

In spite of the French name, this dish was originally Italian. The secret is in the sauce.

Ingredients

juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons of tomato purée
1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
a touch of Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup of finely chopped parsley

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Prepare your favorite Sauce Hollandaise , and when it is thickened add the lemon, tomato purée, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.

    Step 2

    Just before serving add 1/4 cup of finely chopped parsley. (These amounts are for 1 cup of Hollandaise.)

    Step 3

    Broil steak in your favorite manner, slice it diagonally and bathe the slices in the sauce.

Sofrito Bolognese
An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
Smothered Italian Sausage
This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.

Originally called omelette à la neige (snow omelet) in reference to the fluffy snow-like appearance of the meringue, île flottante (floating island) has a lengthy history that dates back to the 17th century.
