Instructions
Pesto Grilled Steak
- Preheat grill to medium heat. Sprinkle steak with salt and pepper. Grill 3-4 minutes per side or until it reaches desired doneness.
- Slice into thin strips, and fan out on a serving plate. Top with a dollop of pesto.
Roasted Asparagus
- Preheat oven to 400. Cut asparagus into 2 inch pieces. Toss asparagus in oil. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt. Bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes or until beginning to brown.
Garlic-Oregano Knots
- Add liquid ingredients to the bowl of a stand mixer. Add dry ingredients, except yeast, taking care to place the salt on the edge of the dry ingredients. Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add yeast to the well. Fit mixer with dough hook. Turn mixer to speed 1 and let mix until a dough ball is formed and the dough ball cleans the sides of the bowl (about 5 minutes). If dough is too wet, add a bit more flour, 1 Tbsp. at a time, and allow it to mix in. If dough is too dry, add a bit more tepid water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, and allow it to mix in. Dough should be springy and soft, and not sticky, and should clean the sides of the bowl.
- Divide dough in half. Wrap one half in plastic wrap and freeze for a later use. Divide remaining half into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope. Tie rope into a knot. Place each knot on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover loosely with a clean dish towel. Let rise 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 375. Bake knots 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. For the topping, melt butter. Stir in garlic, oregano, and salt. Brush butter mixture on each of the knots. Makes 12 servings
