The Rossini burger, rich and refined, with its pan-seared foie gras and wine sauce, requires a drink that enhances its exquisite flavors. Here are some suggestions for wine and other beverages to accompany this exceptional burger:

Wines:

  1. Red Wine:

    • Bordeaux (Grand Cru): A powerful wine with notes of black fruits and wood, which pairs perfectly with the richness of the foie gras and meat.
    • Château Pomerol: An elegant and velvety wine with aromas of red fruits and a tannic structure that pairs well with the foie gras.
    • Pinot Noir: A lighter, fruitier choice that balances the richness of the burger, adding fresh acidity.

  2. White Wine:

    • Sauternes: This sweet, luscious wine with notes of honey and candied fruits can create an interesting contrast with the richness of foie gras while harmonizing with the wine sauce.
    • Chablis: A dry white wine with a crisp minerality that can balance the creamy texture of foie gras and the sauce.

Other Drinks:

  1. Cognac: A cognac or other aged spirit, with complex aromas of wood and dried fruits, can add a luxurious dimension to the Rossini burger.

  2. Brut Champagne: If you prefer a more festive drink, brut champagne can bring a touch of effervescence that helps cleanse the palate between each bite of the burger.

  3. Black Tea: A black tea like Darjeeling, with fruity notes and slight astringency, can be a great non-alcoholic option, offering a pleasant contrast to the richness of the foie gras.

  4. Sparkling Grape Juice: For a non-alcoholic option, sparkling grape juice offers light effervescence and a fruity note that pairs well with the burger's flavors.

Tip:

The key is to choose beverages that balance the richness of the foie gras and wine sauce, while bringing a refreshing element to avoid overwhelming the dish. Wines with good acidity, refined spirits, or even light and fruity beverages will offer interesting contrasts.

Tournedos Rossini in Burger

Ingredients (for 4 burgers)

  • 4 burger buns (preferably brioche)
  • 4 beef tournedos (about 150-200 g each)
  • 4 slices of foie gras (duck or goose, about 60 g each)
  • 4 slices of brioche or bread (for toasting the foie gras)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Clarified butter (for cooking the foie gras)
  • 50 g unsalted butter (for the tournedos)
  • 200 ml veal stock or demi-glace sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cognac or port (for deglazing)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon truffle oil (optional, but for a more "Rossini" flavor)

Instructions

1. Preparing the tournedos
  1. Heat a pan over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  2. Season the tournedos with salt and pepper.
  3. Sear the tournedos in the hot pan for about 2-3 minutes on each side for rare (adjust the cooking time to your preference). Add butter towards the end to baste the tournedos and enhance the flavor. Remove from the pan and set aside.
2. Preparing the foie gras
  1. Heat another pan with a little clarified butter or oil to brown the foie gras slices.
  2. Cook the foie gras slices for 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side, until golden on the outside but still creamy inside. Remove and set aside.
3. Preparing the burger buns
  1. Lightly toast the burger buns in a pan or toaster.
  2. For an extra luxurious touch, you can also toast a slice of brioche or bread in the same pan used for cooking the foie gras, to soak in its flavor.
4. Preparing the sauce
  1. In the pan used to cook the tournedos, deglaze with the cognac or port and let it reduce by half.
  2. Add the veal stock or demi-glace sauce and simmer on medium heat until it thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Strain the sauce if necessary and add a little butter to make it creamier. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
5. Assembling the burger
  1. Place a slice of foie gras on the bottom half of each burger bun.
  2. Add the tournedo on top.
  3. Pour a small amount of hot sauce over the tournedo.
  4. Top with the other half of the burger bun.
  5. If you like, you can also add some arugula or lettuce for extra crunch.
6. Serving

Serve the Tournedos Rossini in burger with homemade fries, roasted potatoes, or a simple green salad. For an extra touch of luxury, lightly drizzle with truffle oil.
