The most amazing melt-in-your-mouth tenderness you will ever experience from a steak.

SERVING SIZE

1.

Season and refrigerate it on a rack overnight.

2.

Preheat your pan over a medium heat for about five minutes to ensure that when the steak touches the oiled pan it’s sizzling, not steaming. Otherwise, the meat will stick, and you and your steak will be sad.

3.

When the edge of the steak (where it touches the pan) is golden brown, it’s time to flip. The goal is a uniform pink interior and wrap-around crust, so even cooking is essential.

After about 10 minutes, when you think you’ve reached perfect steak nirvana, test it with a thermometer (inserted horizontally into the meat in order to reach the center). When you get to 125-135 degrees, you’ve reached medium-rare territory. Steak will continue to cook a bit after you let it rest, so it’s important not to overcook it.

CLICK HERE TO WATCH HOW IT IS MADE

4.

The key to next-level steak flavor is butter (the answer to every question is always butter). Spooning melted unsalted butter and rosemary over the meat for about 30 seconds ensures a richer flavor and more sophisticated crust as the butter mixture and steak juices mingle. Once you’ve finished the butter bath, put the steak on the cutting board and let it rest for five to ten minutes. The juices need to redistribute—we cannot emphasize that enough.

5.

Cut thickly, and enjoy. As if not enjoying that would be an option.

1.

Whisk water, sugar, oil, and yeast in a liquid measuring cup or small bowl. Allow yeast to proof for 5 min; it should puff up a bit.

1.

2.

Separately, mix together the flour, parmesan, and salt (if using) until well combined.

3.

While running the mixer, slowly pour in the yeast mixture and mix all ingredients until yeast mixture has fully soaked through the dry ingredients.

Once the dough is made use parchment paper to spread it out, first spray with cooking spray. As you’re doing that heat up the oven to 450 with a pizza stone. Then take the stone out and sprinkle ground white corn meal on it (so the dough doesn’t stick to the stone). Flip the dough from the parchment paper onto the stone (sprinkle grated parmesan around the edge of the dough if desired). Then place it back in the oven for 5-6 minutes.

2.

While that cooks either use pizza sauce or just spaghetti sauce and mix in some tomato paste to thicken it up. Then cut up the following veggies (or whatever toppings are desired): white onion, mushrooms, broccoli, red pepper, and sometimes Greek olives. Some minced garlic is a nice addition too.

3.

Take the dough out of oven after the 5-6 mins, its fine to let it sit out while finishing cutting veggies but don’t let it keep cooking. Set oven to 400. Spread on the sauce and place all toppings on and top off with some mozzarella cheese.

Place the pizza on the stone back in the oven at 400 for 12 minutes. Enjoy!

4.

Dump the dough onto a floured work surface and quickly knead dough a few times until it comes together. Halve the dough.

5.

If only making 1 pizza, wrap 2nd dough in parchment paper, place into a ziplock bag, and store in freezer. Parchment paper will keep the dough from sticking to the plastic.

1.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil (grease lightly if using foil).

2.

Cook the chicken breast. Heat an oiled skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast, cook for one minute without moving, then flip. Cover, turn the heat to low, and cook for 10 minutes without removing the lid. Turn off the heat and leave the lid on for another 8-10 minutes, until fully cooked (don’t lift the lid until at least 8 minutes have passed).

3.

4.

Arrange the zucchini on a baking sheet, cut side up. Sprinkle with sea salt. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the zucchini are just starting to soften. Blot any accumulated moisture in the cavities with a paper towel.

5.

Stir together the buffalo sauce, mayonnaise, blue cheese, minced garlic, and chopped tomato. When the chicken is done, chop it finely and add to the sauce.

6.

Spoon the filling into the zucchini halves. Bake 7-10 more minutes, until the chicken is golden. Garnish with chives if desired.

Meanwhile, slice the zucchini length-wise. Use a melon baller or small spoon to partially hollow out the center of each zucchini half (this is where the filling will go).

Make the spicy coating: Carefully ladle the lard or frying oil into a medium heatproof bowl and whisk in the cayenne pepper, brown sugar, 3/4 teaspoon sea salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, the paprika and garlic powder. Baste the spice mixture over the hot fried chicken and serve immediately; garnish with pickles.

First, use a peeler to create slices of zucchini. I experimented with a few different tools, including a mandoline, and found that a peeler worked best. You want the slices to be as thin as possible. Lay the slices of zucchini out on paper towels in a single layer, and blot them with another paper towel to soak up some of the extra moisture. Leave the slices of zucchini out to dry out a little while you prepare the bolognese sauce.

Next prepare the bolognese sauce. Melt the butter in a medium sized pot. Once the butter has melted, run the garlic cloves through a garlic press and stir them into the butter.

After a minute, add the ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and use a wooden spoon to break the beef up into small pieces. Stir frequently until the beef has browned.

3.

Pour the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste over the beef, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a slow and steady boil and let the sauce reduce for 10 minutes.

4.

Thaw the frozen spinach (I placed it in a fine mesh strainer and ran it under hot water) and squeeze out the excess water.

Then stir the spinach and ricotta together.

* The Kit chen Recipe

5.

To assemble the lasagna, start by pouring a thin layer of the bolognese sauce on the bottom of a casserole dish.

6.

Then add zucchini on top. You want a nice thick layer of zucchini, I made the layer double thick.

7.

Next add 1/2 of the ricotta and spinach mixture and spread it over the zucchini in an even layer.

8.

Then add another layer of zucchini on top.

9.

Pour half of the remaining bolognese over the zucchini.

10. Repeat the last steps, creating layers of zucchini, ricotta, and zucchini.

11. Pour the remaining sauce over the top, and sprinkle the mozzarella over.

12. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees, and serve immediately.

TIP: I used paper towels to blot the slices of zucchini and soak up excess moisture. You can also opt to quickly pre-bake the slices of zucchini. Do so by laying them out on parchment paper in a single layer, baking for 5 minutes at 350 degrees, and then blotting any excess moisture with paper towels.

1.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 C) and add cauliflower to 2 large baking sheets (use more baking sheets if increasing batch size). Add oil (or omit/sub water), cumin, chili powder, paprika, and salt. Toss to combine and roast on the bottom rack for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and tender.

4.

Blend on high until creamy and smooth, scraping down sides as needed. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more lime for acidity, garlic for kick/zing, salt for saltiness, paprika or cumin for smokiness, maple syrup to offset heat/add sweetness, or chipotle peppers for more heat.

2.

To a separate baking sheet, add raw almonds and the 4 unpeeled garlic cloves (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size). Roast on the center rack for 10-12 minutes or until the almonds have started to brown/ crack and the garlic is starting to get golden brown in color.

Remove from oven and set aside.

5.

To serve, warm tortillas in the microwave or in the oven directly on the still-warm oven racks until pliable. Then add 1-2 Tbsp of the romesco sauce and a generous portion of cauliflower. Serve as is or garnish with lime juice/wedges, cilantro, cabbage, and/or pepitas (optional).

3.

While cauliflower finishes roasting, add drained, fire-roasted tomatoes to a high-speed blender along with almonds, roasted garlic (peeled), raw garlic (peeled), oil (or water), lime juice, paprika, cumin, salt, maple syrup, and chipotle peppers in adobo sauce.

6.

Best when fresh. Store leftover sauce in the refrigerator up to 1 week (or 1 month in the freezer), and the cauliflower in the refrigerator up to 3 days. Reheat cauliflower in a 350-degree F (176 C) oven until warm (best when fresh).

This drink is incredibly refreshing, fun, and delicious. Note that you need to use tonic syrup, not tonic water, in this drink. The syrup is a concentrated form of tonic; tonic water would add too much dilution and not enough flavor to this frosty cocktail. Feel free to double this recipe to make a 2-drink batch.

Combine gin, tonic syrup, and 1 cup ice in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into serving glass and garnish with cucumber if desired.

Editor’s Note: Flavor will vary depending on your choice of tonic syrup and gin; feel free to add a squeeze of lime if desired. On a hot day, your drink will stay frozen longer if you start with chilled gin. (Adding additional ice will dilute the drink’s flavors.)
