Preparation

1. Beef Tenderloin

Season the tenderloin with kosher salt and ground black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tenderloin for 2-3 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms. Transfer to an oven preheated to 375°F and cook for 8-10 minutes or until desired doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

2. Rustic Smoked Paprika Potatoes

Boil salted water and cook the Yukon potatoes until fork-tender (approximately 15-20 minutes). Drain and let cool slightly. Toss the potatoes with garlic salt, smoked paprika, and olive oil. Spread on a baking sheet and roast at 400°F for 10 minutes until crispy.

3. Provencal Tomatoes

Preheat oven to 375°F. Halve the plum tomatoes and place them cut side up on a baking dish. Sprinkle with parsley, minced garlic, kosher salt, and olive oil. Roast for 20 minutes until softened and aromatic.

4. Chimichurri Sauce

Combine all the chimichurri ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

5. Plating

Arrange the beef tenderloin on a plate and top with a spoonful of chimichurri sauce. Serve with a side of rustic smoked paprika potatoes and Provencal tomatoes. Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh finish.

A summer staple! This is a classic take on the iconic Maine Lobster Roll. Butter-poached and chilled lobster is seasoned with fresh herbs and citrus, crème fraîche, and crushed red pepper flakes.

Salmon Burger with Sriracha Aioli

The luscious salmon burger is a thing of beauty. Chef John plates a perfectly cooked, moist 6-oz salmon patty flavored with dill, garlic, red and yellow peppers on a plush potato bun with gem lettuce, tomato, red onion, and Sriracha aioli. Paired with a side of crunchy, crispy tater tots on the side, this is the ideal spring or summer dinner.

BBQ Heritage Pork Chop

The main attraction here is a stunning bone-in heritage pork chop. The pork chop gets grilled to seal in all its natural juices, then basted in sweet and smoky BBQ sauce. Accompanied by classic Yukon Gold potato salad with a Dijon mustard-based dressing, and garlicky sautéed string beans.
