author: Williams-Sonoma American Christmas directions: 'Filling: Preheat oven to 400F. Rinse beef and pat dry. Rub with 1 t. salt and ½ t. pepper. Let stand at room temperature for about 30 min. Place a cast iron frying pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Add olive oil, and as soon as it starts to smoke, add the beef. Sear the first side, without moving the beef, until a crust forms, 4-5 min. Flip and sear the other side the same way. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until medium-rare (instant read thermometer reads 135F), about 15 min. Transfer the beef to a deep plate to collect the juices and cover loosely with aluminum foil. While the beef is resting, make the sauce. In a small frying pan over medium heat, melt the butter until foaming. Add the horseradish and sauté, stirring constantly, until fragrant and softened, about 3 min. Stir in the accumulated beef juices and reduce until almost dry. Add the cream and cook until it starts to bubble, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 10-15 min. Stir in the parsley and remove from the heat. When cool, cover both the beef and the sauce tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours. When ready to make the rissoles, “shave” the cold beef into paper thin slices against the grain. In a bowl, toss the shaved beef and just enough sauce to moisten. You should have about 3 C. filling. Place 1 sheet of filo down and brush with oil (keep unused filo covered with a damp towel). Cut in quarters. Sprinkle each rectangle with 1 T. bread crumbs. With narrow end facing you, place 1 T. filling 1” from the nearest edge. Fold the end over the filling, fold in the sides, and then roll up into a cylinder about 2” long. Repeat until all filling is used, arranging the rissoles, not touching, in a single layer on parchment paper with parchment paper on top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 375F. Place wire rack on baking sheet. Place rissoles, not toughing, on rack. Brush lightly with oil. Bake 10-15 min. or until evenly golden brown. Let cool 5 min., and then serve.' ingredient_blocks: - ingredients: - amount: alternatives: [] range_: null units: lb. value: 1½ name: Top Round of Beef, London Broil cut note: null - amount: alternatives: [] range_: null units: dash value: '1' name: Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper note: null - amount: alternatives: [] range_: null units: T. value: '1' name: olive oil note: null - amount: alternatives: [] range_: null units: T. value: '1' name: unsalted butter note: null - amount: alternatives: [] range_: null units: C. value: ¼ name: grated Horseradish Root or 2 T. prepared horseradish note: null - amount: alternatives: [] range_: null units: C. value: '1' name: heavy cream note: null - amount: alternatives: [] range_: null units: C. value: ½ name: finely chopped fresh Flat-Leaf Parsley note: null name: Filling - ingredients: - amount: alternatives: [] range_: null units: lb. value: '1' name: Filo Dough, about 20 sheets, thawed in the refrigerator 24-36 hours note: null - amount: alternatives: [] range_: null units: C. value: '1' name: olive oil, for brushing note: null - amount: alternatives: [] range_: null units: C. value: ~1 name: Plain Dried Bread Crumbs note: null name: Pastry name: Rissoles Filled with Shaved Beef and Horseradish Cream source: null tags: null url: null yield_: 4 Dozen
