FILET MIGNON with Bernaise Sauce
Ruth's Chris Steakhouse Copycat Recipe

Serves 4

1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 tablespoons tarragon vinegar
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons finely chopped shallots
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
2 large egg yolks
1/4 cup water
salt, to taste
2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon
2 teaspoons chopped fresh chervil (if available)
4 filet mignon steaks (about 1 1/2 inches thick, weighing 7 to 8 ounces)

Melt the butter in a small saucepan and keep warm. In another small nonreactive saucepan, combine the vinegar, lemon juice, shallots, dried tarragon and a pinch of black pepper. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until the liquid is almost evaporated. (Do not let it evaporate completely , you should still see some bubbles of liquid around the shallots.) Cool slightly.

To make the sauce:  In the top part of a nonreactive double boiler, whisk together the egg yolks and water. Place over the bottom part of the double boiler containing gently simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the top does not touch the water. Whisk in the vinegar reduction. Continue whisking constantly until the egg mixture thickens and the temperature reaches 140 degrees.

Remove the top of the double boiler and continue whisking to cool just slightly. Whisk in the warm melted butter in a thin, steady stream. Stir in the fresh tarragon and chervil, if available. Hold warm at about 100 to 110 degrees while preparing the steaks.

To cook the steaks:  Preheat the boiler for about 10 minutes. Season the steaks evenly on both sides with salt and pepper. Broil the steaks about 3 inches from the heat source. For medium done steaks, broil about 8 minutes on the first side and 6 minutes on the second. Insert the tip of a sharp knife into a steak to test for desired doneness, but they should register at least 140 degrees (medium rare) in the center, for safety's sake.

To serve, place a steak on each of 4 warm dinner plates. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the Bernaise Sauce over each.

CHEESECAKE
Ruth's Chris Steakhouse Copycat Recipe

1 tablespoon unsalted butter; melted
1 tablespoon graham cracker crumbs
2 pounds regular cream cheese
1 1/4 cup sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup sour cream

Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place foil over bottom disk of a 9 inch springform pan, tucking excess underneath disk; assemble pan. Pull up foil around pan sides. Brush interior of pan with butter. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs into pan, tilting it in all directions to coat evenly with crumbs. Cover exterior of pan with a sheet of heavy duty foil and set in a large roasting pan. Bring a kettle of water to a boil for water bath.

Meanwhile, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add sugar and beat on medium speed until it is fully incorporated, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until just incorporated and scraping down bowl after each addition. Add zest and vanilla and beat until just incorporated. Stir in cream and sour cream by hand. Pour batter into springform pan. Set roasting pan on oven rack, set springform pan in it, and pour in enough boiling water to come about
halfway up the side of springform pan.

Bake until perimeter of cake is set but center jiggles when pan is tapped, 55 to 60 minutes. Turn off heat and leave oven door ajar, using a long handled kitchen fork or spoon if necessary to hold it open for 1 hour. Remove springform pan from water bath and set on a wire rack; cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 4 hours. Cheesecake can be refrigerated for up to 4 days.

Ruth's Chris Steak Cooking Tips

- Start with high quality steaks, choice grade or better. Choose a center cut, like a filet, rib eye or strip steak.

- Choose a cut with great marbling, the white ribbons of fat running through the beef. The fat will turn to liquid during cooking, keeping the meat moist and flavorful.

- Think thick. Ruth's Chris' signature is the flavorful crust on the outside of their steaks. A steak less than 1.5" thick will cook through before the outside is crispy.

- Season your meat with sea salt and fresh black pepper, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and let it marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.

- Let your pan or grill pan get very, very hot before cooking. If using a grill pan, sear for one and a half minutes on each side, transfer to a cast iron pan and cook in a 400 F oven 12 minutes for medium rare meat. The internal temperature of the beef should be 130 F. Or just do the whole thing in a cast iron pan and save time on cleanup.
