Tri-Tip with Chimichurri

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup olive oil, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more, 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, plus more, 2 pounds tri-tip steak or two 1-pound sirloin steaks, 2 garlic cloves, finely grated, 2 cups finely chopped parsley, 1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon agave nectar

Instructions:
Mix sesame seeds, paprika, 2 Tbsp. oil, 2 tsp. salt, and 2 tsp. pepper in a small bowl to combine. Rub all over steak and let sit at room temperature 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare a grill for medium-high, indirect heat (for a charcoal grill, bank coals on one side of grill; for a gas grill, leave one or two burners off). Place steak over indirect heat, cover grill, and grill, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of steak registers 115°F, 20–30 minutes. Move steak to direct heat and grill until lightly charred, about 2 minutes per side, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 120°F for medium-rare (temperature will continue to rise off heat). Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
While steak is resting, combine garlic, parsley, cilantro, vinegar, agave nectar, and remaining 1/2 cup oil; season with salt and pepper. Serve steak with chimichurri.

Raspberry Crumble Tart

Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/4 cup cold vegetable shortening (preferably trans-fat-free)
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 to 7 tablespoons ice water
3/4 cup whole almonds (3 ounces), chopped
3/4 cup sugar
4 (6-ounces) containers fresh raspberries (6 cups)
a pastry or bench scraper; an 11 1/4- by 8-inch rectangular tart pan with a removable bottom or a 10-inch round tart pan (1 inch deep) with a removable bottom

Instructions:
Blend together flour, butter, shortening, and salt in a bowl with your fingertips or a pastry blender (or pulse in a food processor) just until mixture resembles coarse meal with some small (roughly pea-size) butter lumps. Transfer 2 cups mixture to a bowl and drizzle 4 tablespoons ice water evenly over it (reserve remaining mixture). Stir gently with a fork until incorporated.
Squeeze a small handful of dough: If it doesn't hold together, add more ice water 1/2 tablespoon at a time, stirring until incorporated. (Do not overwork dough, or pastry will be tough.)
Turn out dough onto a work surface and divide into 4 portions. With heel of your hand, smear each portion once or twice in a forward motion to help distribute fat. Gather all dough together with pastry scraper and press into a ball, then flatten into a 5-inch disk. If dough is sticky, dust lightly with additional flour. Wrap disk in plastic wrap and chill until firm, at least 1 hour.
Add almonds and sugar to reserved dough mixture in a bowl and rub together until some large clumps form.
Put a large baking sheet on oven rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 375°F. Roll out disk of dough into a 14- by 13-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin. Fit into tart pan and trim excess dough, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang, then fold overhang under pastry and press against rim of pan to reinforce edge. Fill shell with berries and sprinkle evenly with topping. Bake tart in pan on baking sheet until topping and crust are golden and filling is bubbling, about 55 to 60 minutes (loosely cover with a sheet of foil after 30 minutes to prevent overbrowning). Cool in pan on a rack 20 minutes, then remove side of pan and cool tart completely, about 45 minutes.
Potato Chip–Crusted Magic Bars

Ingredients:
1 (10-ounce) bag plain salted potato chips, preferably not thick-cut
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour or rice flour
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (12-ounce) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup large unsweetened coconut flakes, such as Bob’s Red Mill, or sweetened coconut flakes
1 cup salted smoked almonds
or your nut of choice
roughly chopped

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9x13" baking pan, preferably metal, and line with parchment paper so it overhangs by a couple of inches on the long sides of the pan.
In a food processor, pulse the potato chips with the flour until they resemble coarse bread crumbs. Pour in the 4 tablespoons butter and pulse until the chips are evenly moistened and finely chopped. Press the mixture into the prepared baking pan.
Bake for about 15 minutes, until the crust is dry and very lightly browned. Let cool.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the crust and tip the pan so it forms an even layer. Scatter the chocolate chips, coconut, and nuts on top and use a fork or the back of a spoon to press the ingredients into the sticky condensed milk.
Bake for about 25 minutes, until the coconut is toasted and the condensed milk is lightly browned at the edges. Transfer to a rack and let cool.
When the bar is cool, use the parchment paper to lift it out of the pan. Cut into any size squares you desire and serve.

Hot Slaw a la Greyhound Grill

Ingredients:
One 3-pound red cabbage, cored and coarsely shredded, or a mix of red and green cabbages (10–12 cups)
1/4 pound slab bacon or 4 slices thick-cut bacon, diced
1/2 cup white vinegar, cider vinegar, or white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon celery seeds
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pepper vinegar to taste

Instructions:
In an 8-quart stockpot, bring 4 quarts water to a boil over high heat. Blanch the cabbage by submerging it in the boiling water just until it turns a dull grayish purple, about 5 minutes. Drain in a colander, shake the colander for a minute or so to remove excess water, and reserve.
Scatter the bacon in a 12-inch dry skillet over medium-high heat. With a wooden spoon, move the pieces around until the bacon is firm and barely crisp, about 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and reserve.
Pour the vinegar into the skillet. It will hiss and pop at first but will soon subside. Swirl the vinegar around with the spoon, stirring up any browned bits of bacon. Add the celery seeds and red pepper flakes and stir.
Add the cabbage to the skillet and toss to coat it with the vinegar. Add the salt, pepper, and reserved bacon, and continue to sauté, stirring the cabbage around the pan until all its bright magenta glory has returned, about 4 minutes.
Place the slaw in a bowl and shake pepper vinegar over it to taste. Pass the cruet at the table for those who wish to fire it up further.

Herby Ricotta-Poblano Tacos

Ingredients:
4 garlic cloves, unpeeled
2 fresh poblano chiles
1 cup ricotta cheese (the freshest you can find)
4 teaspoons chopped fresh herbs (such as cilantro, epazote, thyme, marjoram)
Kosher salt
About 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, preferably freshly ground
8 (6-inch) corn tortillas
3 or 4 radishes, thinly sliced or cut into matchsticks
A few tablespoons chopped white onion, for garnish
Big
beautiful sprigs of cilantro
for garnish

Instructions:
On an ungreased griddle or small, heavy skillet set over medium heat, roast the garlic, turning frequently, until blackened in spots and soft to the touch, about 15 minutes. Cool, peel off the papery skins, then finely chop.
Roast the chiles directly over a gas flame or 4" below a very hot broiler until blackened on all sides, about 5 minutes for open flame, about 10 minutes for broiler. Cover with a kitchen towel and let stand 5 minutes. Peel, pull out the stem and seed pod, then rinse briefly to remove bits of seeds and stray bits of skin. Chop the chiles into 1/4" bits.
In a medium-size bowl, mix together the garlic, ricotta, fresh herbs, and half the chopped chiles. Taste and season with the salt and pepper. Cover and set aside.
Set up a steamer (a vegetable steamer in a large saucepan filled with 1/2" of water works well); heat to a boil. Wrap the tortillas in a heavy kitchen towel, lay in the steamer and cover with a tight lid. Boil 1 minute, turn off the heat and let stand without opening the steamer for 15 minutes.
Just before serving, mix the remaining half of the chopped chiles into the ricotta (plus enough water to make it easily spoonable). One at a time, spread a generous 2 tablespoons of the ricotta filling over each of 8 hot tortillas. Sprinkle with the radishes and onion, lay on a sprig of cilantro and you’re ready for some light, zesty flavors.
The filling will hold well for a couple of days in the refrigerator, but is best served at room temperature. Assemble the tacos at the last moment.
