Beef
28 oz Prime Black Angus Rib-Eye
Spinalis cut in 8 equal pieces
(2 pieces each)

Gratin
3 Peeled Carrots
3 Peeled Parsnips
1 Peeled White Onion
1 tbsp Fresh Chopped Thyme
1 tsp Fresh Grated Horseradish
1 tsp Fresh Garlic
1/2 cup Heavy Cream
Fresh Ground Black Pepper
Pinch of Kosher Salt
6 oz Fresh Grated Gruyere Cheese
Thinly slice the Carrots, Parsnips,
Onions and toss with Thyme,
Horseradish, Garlic Salt and Pep-
per. Put in a 2" inch deep Pyrex
pan cover with the Cream and Foil
and Bake at 350 for 2 hours. Prior
to serve, remove the Foil paper
and sprinkle the cheese over
with a drizzle of cream
and bake until cheese
is golden brown.
Balsamic Port Reduction
1/2 cup Apple Juice
1/3 cup Aged Balsamic Vinegar
1/3 cup Porto Wine
1/4 cup Sugar
(Note better quality port and
Balsamic will equate to a nicer
reduction)
Mix Apple Juice, Balsamic Vinegar,
Porto Wine and sugar and simmer
on medium fire until reduced half,
then cool down before serve. A
Drizzle on each plate will do as it
is quite intense.

1 tsp Fresh Chopped Thyme
Fresh Ground Black Pepper
Pinch of Kosher Salt
Cut the Tomatoes in half sprinkle with
