Stuffed Pork Loin


I really enjoy grilled pork loin - it’s quick, cheap, tasty, and very versatile. It’s the first thing I reach for when we’ve got guests to feed on short notice. The only issue I have with it is, that because pigs have been bred to be so lean these days, this cut can dry out […]

Grilled White Pizza


I love grilled pizza, and if you haven’t tried it yourself, you are sorely missing out. My hands-down favorite is a version with caramelized onions and warm, melty goat cheese. I first made that recipe some 13 or so years ago, and now that my mouth is watering, that is definitely going to […]

Tuna Steaks


Tuna loin is the section of prime meat that lies next to the fish’s lateral line and provides most of the tail’s propulsive power. Steaks cut from these loins really benefit from being treated more like beef than fish - sear them quick and hot and serve them no more done than medium rare.
Marinate the […]

Asparagus

Second - Mix up a marinade of a 50/50 mix of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Add a dash of kosher sea salt (and a dab of Dijon mustard if you’re feeling extra fancy).
Third - […]
