Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp olive oil
2 shallots, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 chipotle peppers in adobo, chopped
1 cup port wine
1 cup dry red wine
3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
3 cups beef stock
1 tbsp ancho chile powder
1/4 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
4 - oz dark chocolate, grated
1/2 cup cornstarch
water , as needed
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
8 - oz beef tenderloin , cut into 12 equal-sized cubes
3 tbsp steak seasoning blend (recommended
1 small red onion, cut into 1-inch dice
12 dried apricots , reconstituted in hot water
4 - oz taleggio cheese, cut into 12 pieces
special equipment: 12 (6-inch) wooden skewers, soaked in water

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
To make the chocolate sauce: Heat the oil in a medium saucepot over medium heat. Sweat the shallots and garlic until aromatic. Add the chipotles and cook until the adobo sauce has darkened. Add the port and cook down until reduced by 2/3. Add the red wine and balsamic vinegar, and reduce by half. Add the beef stock, chile powder, coriander, and nutmeg. Simmer and reduce down by 1/3. Stir in the grated chocolate. If the sauce is thin, mix the cornstarch with some water and whisk in a bit at a time until the sauce is thickened. You may not need all of the cornstarch slurry. Taste the sauce and season with salt, and pepper. Set the mixture aside and keep warm.
Season the beef cubes with the steak seasoning. Thread the skewers in this order: onion-beef-apricot-onion. Roast the skewers in the oven for 8 minutes. Top each skewer with a piece of Taleggio cheese and roast in the oven for another 2 minutes.
Serve the skewers with the chocolate sauce.
