Preparation Time:  40 Minutes

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese, or feta cheese
• 4 tsp white-wine vinegar
• 3/4 tsp dry mustard
• 1 small shallot, minced
• 1 tbsp minced fresh parsley
• 3/4 tsp kosher salt, divided
• 3/4 tsp freshly ground pepper, divided
• 1 tbsp plus 2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided

• 1 lb buffalo or beef New York strip (loin) steaks, trimmed of fat and cut into 4 portions

Instructions

• Preheat grill to high.
• Place cheese in a medium bowl and mash it with the back of a spoon until creamy. Add vinegar, dry mustard, shallot, parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; whisk to combine. Continue whisking and slowly drizzle in 1 tablespoon oil until blended. Set aside.
• Cut each radicchio head in half, core and quarter each half. Thread radicchio chunks and beets onto skewers. Drizzle the skewered vegetables with 1 1/2 teaspoons oil. Rub steaks with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon oil. Season the steaks and skewered vegetables with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper.
• Grill the steaks 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare.

Grilled Salmon with Tomatoes & Basil

Servings: 4 / Calories per serving:  248

Preparation Time: 30 Minutes

Ingredients

• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp kosher salt, divided
• 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 whole wild salmon fillet , (also called a “side of salmon,” about 1 1/2 lbs; see Tips)
• 1/3 cup plus 1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil, divided
• 2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
• 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper

Instructions

• Preheat grill to medium.
• Mash minced garlic and 3/4 teaspoon salt on a cutting board with the side of a chef’s knife or a spoon until a paste forms. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in oil.
• Check the salmon for pin bones and remove if necessary (see Tips). Measure out a piece of heavy-duty foil (or use a double layer of regular foil) large enough for the salmon fillet. Coat the foil with cooking spray. Place the salmon skin-side down on the foil and spread the garlic mixture all over it. Sprinkle with 1/3 cup basil. Overlap tomato slices on top and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper.
• Transfer the salmon on the foil to the grill. Grill until the fish flakes easily, 10 to 12 minutes. Use two large spatulas to slide the salmon from the foil to a serving platter. Serve the salmon sprinkled with the remaining 1/4 cup basil.
