Duck Confit

Ingredients

  • 2 uncooked Peking duck legs
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 lemon, zested and thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon whole allspice berries
  • 1 tablespoon juniper berries
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 cups rendered duck fat

Directions

  1. Season the duck legs with kosher salt on both sides. Place them in a large resealable bag. Add the lemon zest and slices, garlic, allspice berries, juniper berries and fresh thyme. Seal, and massage the duck legs through the bag until all of the ingredients are evenly dispersed. Refrigerate for 24 hours to marinate.
  2. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (93 degrees C).
  3. Remove the duck legs from the marinade. Rinse them off and pat dry. Place the rest of the contents of the bag into the bottom of an oven safe dish just large enough to hold the legs in a single layer, preferably enameled cast iron or glass. Arrange the duck legs skin side down in the dish. Pour the duck fat into a small saucepan and warm over low heat until liquid. Pour over the duck legs until they are completely covered. If the legs are not covered, you can top it off with some olive oil. As the legs cook, more fat will be rendered from the skin. Cover the dish with a lid.
  4. Bake for 6 to 7 hours in the preheated oven, until the meat pulls easily from the bone. Remove the duck legs from the fat and place in a sealable container. You may leave the bones in or remove them. Make sure there is room at the top of the container. Strain all of the solids from the remaining fat and discard the solids. Pour the fat over the duck in the container, covering completely. Seal and allow to come to room temperature. Once the jar is cool, place in the refrigerator and let the duck meat cure for 2 months. Reserve any leftover duck fat for other uses.

Roast Sirloin Strip

Ingredients:
10 lb To 11 pounds sirloin roast
Salt/freshly ground pepper
Sauce:
1 1/2 c Beef broth
Drippings
1/4 c Madeira
Salt/pepper to taste

Rub the roast with salt and pepper, place on a rack in a shallow pan, roast at 325 degrees, allowing about 10 minutes per pound, or until the roast reaches an inner temperature of 120 degrees. Remove to a hot platter and allow to rest for 12 to 14 minutes. Garnish the platter with watercress and freshly grated horseradish.

For sauce: When you remove the roast from the rack, spoon off most of the fat from the drippings, add 1-1/2 cups beef broth to the drippings, and bring to a boil. Then add 1/4 cup Madeira and salt and pepper to taste. Serve in a sauce boat with the roast.

 

Rapid Roast

Ingredients:

1 (6 lb.) beef roast (boneless top sirloin)
1 clove garlic
Salt

Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Rub roast with garlic and sprinkle with salt. Place roast in preheated oven. Roast for 30 minutes and turn the heat off. DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DOOR FOR 2 HOURS. Remove. Allow roast to stand 15 minutes before carving for easier slicing.  Thirty minutes roasting time makes a rare roast. If you wish more well-done meat, roast for 33 or 34 minutes at 500 degrees before turning off the heat. The general rule is 5 minutes to the pound for rare and 5 1/2 to 6 minutes to the pound for more well-done meat.
