Ingredients
1/4 cup stone ground mustard
1/4 cup prepared mayonnaise
Juice of 1 orange
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 cups red Zinfandel wine
1/4 pint strawberries, cleaned and halved
1/2 cup orange-flavored liqueur
1/4 cup beef stock
1 tablespoon honey
2 (4 to 6-ounce) strip steaks
3 tablespoons freshly cracked black peppercorns
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 head frisee lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
6 grape tomatoes, halved
1 Granny Smith apple, cored, and julienned
2 radishes, thinly sliced
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Blend the mustard, mayonnaise, 1/4 of orange juice, and salt, and pepper, to taste in a food
processor or blender.
In a saucepan, combine the wine with the strawberries, orange-flavored liqueur, beef stock,
and honey. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat, and cook until its reduced by half. Pour
the mixture into a blender and puree until smooth.
Coat the steaks in black peppercorns and season liberally with salt. Heat 1 tablespoon olive
oil in an oven-proof saute pan over medium-high heat and sear the steaks for 2 minutes on
each side, then transfer the pan to the oven, and cook for 8 minutes or until desired degree of
doneness.
While the steak is cooking, mix together the frisee, red onion, tomatoes, apples, and radishes
in a bowl. Whisk together the remaining orange juice, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons extravirgin olive oil in a small bowl. Season the dressing with salt, and pepper, to taste. Add the
dressing to the salad and toss to coat. Serve the steaks over a bed of the salad and top with the
zinfandel sauce and a bit of the aioli.

Lemon-Ginger Chicken and Broccoli
Ingredients:
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1X!/2X1/4 pieces
1 teaspoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon brown or raw sugar
1 tablespoon Shao Hsing wine or sherry
2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 tablespoons peanut or canola oil
5 scallions, white and light green parts only cut thinly on the bias
3 cube fresh ginger, peeled and cut into fine julienne
2 ripe red fresno or jalapeno chile peppers, sliced thinly on the bias
zest of two lemons, in long, thin pieces, and divided into two equal portions (I used a
zester, rather than a microplane grater to get these pieces)
2 tablespoons Shao Hsing wine or sherry
1-2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 pound broccoli, florets broken up into bite sized pieces, with the large stalks peeled
and cut into thin slices (If you do not like the stalks dont use them, but Zak likes them
better than the florets, and I think they are delicious, so into the wok they go.)
juice of two lemons
1 lemon washed and cut in half longitudinally, then cut into 1/4 thick half-moon
slices
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
Method:
Mix chicken with the next five ingredients, and allow to marinate for twenty to forty
minutes.
Heat wok over high heat until a thin thread of smoke rises. Add 3 tablespoons peanut
or canola oil (reserve last tablespoon until later) and allow to heat another thirty
seconds. Add scallions, ginger, chilies and half of the lemon zest and stir fry for thirty
to forty seconds, or until all is fragrant.
Add marinated chicken, and spread into a single layer on the bottom of the wok, and
leave undisturbed for about one minute, or until the chicken browns on that side. Stir
fry until the chicken is 2/3 donein other words, 2/3 of the chicken is white or brown,
and the rest is pink. Add half the lemon slices and stir fry for another thirty seconds,
then remove chicken and lemon from wok to a clean bowl.
Add reserved tablespoon of oil to wok, and allow it to heat thirty seconds. Add
broccoli and stir fry for thirty seconds, then add wine and lemon juice. Deglaze any
browned bits sticking to wok, and add chicken back to wok. Add soy sauce and
continue stir frying until chicken is completely cooked. Add other half of lemon zest
and slices, and drizzle with sesame oil, and serve over steamed rice.
Strawberry Beef Filet
Ingredients
Salt
Directions
Cook the sauce and strawberries with a squeeze of lemon juice in a pan for about 10 minutes
until the mixture has the consistency of thin jam, over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Sieve the sauce then allow to cool.
In a large non-stick skillet, toast the peppercorns until they are aromatic. Pour in the stock,
then add the butter, and boil to reduce liquid by half. Stir in the strawberry mixture and the
rest of the lemon juice; reduce to a rich sauce consistency.
Meanwhile, heat a grill or ridged grill pan over high heat. Brush steaks with oil and sprinkle
with salt. Cook to desired doneness (2-3 minutes for rare, and up to 5 minutes each side for
well done.) Serve immediately with the sauce and garnish with fresh strawberry slices. Serve
with garlic mashed potatoes and steamed veggies.
