Print
 
Goosecross Cellars Recipe for Napa Valley Cabernet
 
Ingredients:
2 Rib-eye steaks
2 tablespoons 5 pepper blend peppercorns
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon garlic, minced

For the Sauce
1/2 cup beef consommé
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons Goosecross Napa Cabernet
Salt & pepper, to taste
2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon brined green peppercorns
¼ cup crème fraîche
 
Directions:
Roughly crush the peppercorn blend and press into each steak. Place steaks in a square glass dish. Combine the remaining ingredients and pour over the steaks, making sure both sides are covered in liquid. Marinate the steaks for 2 hours at room temperature. Grill the steaks to desired doneness, tent with foil, and set aside.

For the sauce:
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the beef consommé, soy sauce, wine, vinegar, salt & pepper. Bring to a boil, then boil it down to reduce and concentrate the sauce, about 5 minutes. Lower the heat and add the brined peppercorns and cream. Heat through.

To serve, place the steaks on a serving plate and pour the reduction sauce over the meat. Serve with Goosecross Napa Cabernet.

Almond Cake

Print
 
Goosecross Cellars Recipe for Chenin Blanc
 
Winemaker Notes
 
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons matzo meal, plus more for coating
2 cups blanched almonds
1/2 cup sugar
6 large eggs, separated
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon almond extract
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1/4 cup confectioner's sugar, for dusting
 
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 10-inch springform pan. Line the bottom with parchment or wax paper and grease the paper. Evenly coat the bottom and sides with matzo meal, tapping out any excess.

In a food processor, pulse the almonds with 2 tablespoons of matzo meal and 1/4 cup of sugar until very finely ground. In a bowl, beat the egg yolks with the brown sugar and remaining 1/4 cup of sugar at high speed until very light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. At low speed, gradually add the ground almonds, vanilla and almond extracts and the lemon zest.

In a medium bowl, using clean beaters, whip the egg whites with the salt until stiff peaks form. Beat one-fourth of the whites into the yolk mixture to lighten it, then quickly fold in the remaining whites. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface.

Bake the cake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Run a small, sharp knife around the side of the cake, transfer it to a rack and let cool completely in the pan. Remove the side of the pan and invert the cake onto a serving plate. Remove the base of the pan, then carefully peel off the paper. Sift confectioner's sugar over the cake before serving.
