SURF 'N EARTH

Steps:

• Make the garlic butter: Pulse the garlic in a food processor until chopped. Add the butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; pulse until smooth. Chill at least 30 minutes.
• Prepare the mushrooms: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the mushrooms with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt. Fill each mushroom with 1 heaping teaspoon of the garlic butter (reserve the remaining garlic butter for the crab filling). Arrange the mushrooms snugly in a baking dish and bake until tender, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and crabmeat; cook until the shallot is soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in the wine and cook until slightly reduced, about 1 minute. Stir in the reserved garlic butter (about 1/3 cup) until melted. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and push the crab mixture to one side of the skillet; let any excess juices collect.
• Remove the mushrooms from the oven and preheat the broiler. Stuff the mushrooms with the crab mixture. Toss the panko with the juices in the skillet; sprinkle over the mushrooms. Broil until golden, about 2 minutes. Squeeze lemon wedges on top.

SURF AND TURF WITH WARM MUSHROOM SALAD

Steps:

• For the lobster: Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Heat an outdoor grill over high heat.
• Kill a lobster by splitting the head in half with a large chef's knife. Then split the lobster in half down the middle. Repeat with the other lobster.
• Snap the claws off from both lobsters and boil for 5 minutes. Remove and submerge in ice water to stop the cooking. Careful to keep whole, crack the claws and remove from the shell.
• Use half of the sunflower oil to brush the meat of each lobster tail half, sprinkle with salt and pepper and grill, flesh-side down, moving as needed, until well-marked and the meat is firm and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Let rest for a minute, pull the meat from the shell so its loose and easy to eat out of the shell, squeeze with lemon juice and keep warm. Meanwhile, brush the claws with the remaining oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill, until just marked and warmed through, about 1 minute per side. Keep warm.
• For the steak and warm mushroom salad: Coat a medium cast-iron skillet with sunflower oil and heat over medium-high. Sprinkle the filet mignons generously with salt and pepper. Sear the steaks until nicely browned, about 3 minutes. Turn the steaks over and add the butter and thyme. Baste the steaks with the butter (to infuse flavor into the steak) and cook until medium-rare, about 3 minutes more. Remove the steak from skillet and allow to rest. Turn the heat down to medium. Add the zucchini, cauliflower and mushrooms and cook, stirring gently, until just about tender, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and spinach and stir gently until the spinach is just wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, for the lobster sauce: Pour the wine into a small skillet and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and reduce by about half, remove from the heat and whisk in the butter, a tablespoon at a time, until the sauce is combined and emulsified. Stir in the chives, parsley and thyme. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the steak and mushroom salad between 2 plates. Add 2 lobster tails halves and claws to each plate and top the lobster with the sauce.

"SURF AND TURF" BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH MUSHROOM AND ASPARAGUS RAGOUT AND LOBSTER MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in heavy, large skillet over high heat. Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper. Sear the beef in the skillet for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove from the skillet and let rest. Add the butter and mushrooms to the same skillet and saute until the mushrooms are browned, about 4 minutes. Then, add the shallots, garlic and thyme, and saute for 2 minutes. Add the Beef Reduction to the mushrooms and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-high and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the asparagus and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the Lobster Mashed Potatoes among 4 plates. Arrange the beef fillets on the top of the potatoes. Spoon the mushroom and asparagus ragout over the beef and serve.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Brush a heavy, large roasting pan with olive oil. Place the shank pieces in the prepared pan. Scatter the carrots and onions around the shanks. Roast until the meat is brown, about 25 minutes. Transfer the meat and vegetables to a heavy, large saucepan. Place the roasting pan over medium heat. Add the red wine and stir 1 minute, scraping up any browned bits, and then add to the meat and vegetables. Add the beef broth, 4 cups water and thyme sprigs. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the liquid is reduced to 2 cups, about 3 hours. Strain the broth. Chill uncovered until cool, then cover and keep chilled.
• Cook the lobster in a large saucepan of boiling salted water until just opaque in the center, about 7 minutes. Transfer the lobster to a work surface and cool slightly. Remove the lobster meat from the shell. Cut the meat into 1-inch pieces. Bring 1/3 cup milk to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Add the lobster meat and set aside. Add the potatoes to a large pot of cold, salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes, return to the pot and mash. Add the butter and the remaining milk. Mix together well. Add the lobster mixture to the mashed potatoes. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper.

STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Stir the bread crumbs, Pecorino Romano, garlic, parsley, mint, salt and pepper, to taste, and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium bowl to blend.
• Drizzle a heavy large baking sheet with about 1 tablespoon olive oil, to coat. Spoon the filling into the mushroom cavities and arrange on the baking sheet, cavity side up. Drizzle remaining oil over the filling in each mushroom. Bake until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is heated through and golden on top, about 25 minutes. Serve.

STUFFING-STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees and lightly brush a large rimmed sheet pan with olive oil.
• Using barely moist paper towels, wipe the mushroom stems and caps clean. Carefully tear off the mushroom stems, setting them aside in a medium bowl. Set each mushroom cap on its side and slice off the excess mushroom cap that curls over the gills. (The goal here is to create a flatter surface area so the mushrooms caramelize instead of steam, and so you can pile more stuffing on top.) Transfer the mushroom scraps to the bowl with the mushroom stems, then transfer the trimmed mushroom caps to the sheet pan, cut-side up.
• Brush the tops of the trimmed mushrooms with 3 tablespoons oil. In a small bowl, stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; sprinkle the mixture over the tops of the mushrooms. Flip the mushrooms so they are cut-side down, and roast until they have released their liquid and are starting to caramelize, about 15 minutes. Remove sheet pan from heat, and set aside.
• While the mushrooms roast, prepare the filling: Finely chop the mushroom stems and scraps or transfer them to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. (You will have about 2 cups.)
• In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the chopped celery, shallots, garlic, rosemary, poultry seasoning and celery seeds. Season generously with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, about 5 minutes. Add the chopped mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook over medium-high, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer vegetable mixture to a large bowl to cool, at least 15 minutes.
• Once the vegetable mixture has cooled, stir in the cornbread, cheese, celery leaves and 3 tablespoons chopped parsley. Season generously with salt and pepper. Whisk the eggs together in a small bowl, then stir into the cornbread filling until combined. (Makes about 4 cups.)
• Wipe the sheet pan clean, then brush again with olive oil to coat. Mound about 1 to 2 tablespoons filling into each mushroom cap, patting them gently without packing them tightly, then transfer to the sheet pan, spacing them evenly apart. Bake until mixture on top is warmed through, 10 to 15 minutes. Broil until browned in spots, 2 to 4 minutes. Let cool a few minutes, then transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon minced parsley to serve.
