Method

For the Medallion of Striploin: Season beef barrel with sea salt and crushed black pepper. Sear in a very hot pan on all sides. Transfer to a roasting pan and cook at 350°F until desired doneness. Let rest a minimum of 10 minutes.

For the Braised Shortribs: Season shortribs with salt and pepper and sear in a braising pan. Deglaze pan with red wine and reduce. Add barbecue sauce, veal stock and guava nectar and bring to boil; season to taste.

Return shortribs to pot, cover and put in hot oven at 375°F for 2-3 hours until tender. Cool.

Portion beef shortrib into 4 oz. pieces. Place in chafing dish and cover with reduced cooking liquid. To warm up, put in a hot oven at 375°F for 15-20 minutes.

For the Cauliflower Puree: Place cauliflower, potato, onion and garlic in a saucepan. Cover with milk and cook slowly until soft. Strain well and puree in a blender, slowly adding butter until desired consistency. Season with salt.

Note: You may need to add some milk back to the puree while it is blending to adjust consistency. Puree should be smooth and have a nice shine to it.
