Provided by Tyler Florence

Time 1h

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 large (16 to 18-ounce) bone-in rib-eye steaks
1 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 sprigs fresh thyme
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 to 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves removed
2 sprig fresh rosemary, leaves removed
About 1 cup panko bread crumbs
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 large bunch Swiss chard, leafs removed from the stem and leaves chopped
2 cups heavy cream
2 fresh bay leaves
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 to 3 cloves garlic, peeled
Freshly grated Parmesan, to taste
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 lemon, juiced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Take a cast iron pan and set over medium-high heat. Add a 2-count of olive oil and add rosemary and thyme. The herbs will begin to crackle as the oil heats up and the oil will be infused with the flavor. Remove the herbs from the pan and place onto a paper towel lined plate. Season the rib eyes well with salt and pepper and add to pan and brown for approximately 4 minutes. Turn the rib eye over and place the whole pan into the preheated oven, on the bottom shelf, for another 12 minutes for medium-rare. Add another 2 minutes for medium.
  • Place a saute pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil and butter. Once the butter has melted, add the garlic, thyme and rosemary leaves, and the panko and stir to combine. Once the bread crumbs are toasted, season with salt and pepper.
  • Place a saucepan of cream with bay leaves, rosemary, thyme and garlic over medium heat and simmer until reduced and thick. Blanch leaves in some salted boiling water until wilted. Remove the Swiss chard from the water and allow it to drain in a strainer. Push any excess water out of the Swiss chard using some paper towels. Set aside to dry at room temperature.
  • When ready, remove herbs and garlic from cream and fold in the Swiss chard. Add Parmesan, to taste, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Once steaks are done, remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Serve on a plate and top steak with creamed Swiss chard. Garnish with the toasted bread crumbs, lemon juice, and season with salt.

CREAMY SWISS CHARD PASTA WITH LEEKS, TARRAGON AND LEMON ZEST



Creamy Swiss Chard Pasta With Leeks, Tarragon and Lemon Zest image

This creamy vegetarian pasta is hearty enough for chilly temperatures while still nodding toward spring with the addition of bright-green chard, leeks and fresh herbs. For texture, it's topped with toasted panko, a garnish that can go many ways: Instead of using nutritional yeast, which adds tangy flavor here, you can melt a finely chopped anchovy with the butter and toss it with the panko. You could also add some ground coriander, Italian seasoning or herbes de Provence. Toasted panko, plain bread crumbs or even crushed croutons are a solid back-pocket trick to add crunch to any pasta, especially the creamiest kind. Don't skip the tarragon and lemon zest garnish, which add a fresh note to an otherwise-rich dish.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 pound green Swiss chard (1 large bunch), washed and trimmed
2 large leeks (10 to 12 ounces each)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
1 cup heavy cream
16 ounces linguine or fettuccine
3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan
Fresh tarragon leaves, for garnish
1 lemon, for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Prepare the chard: Tear the leaves off the stems, separating the leaves and stems. Thinly slice the stems, then coarsely tear the leaves into bite-size pieces. Set both aside in separate bowls.
  • Prepare the leeks: Trim off the bottom and the dark green portion at the top, halve the remaining white and pale green portion lengthwise, then thinly slice them crosswise. Wash and drain the sliced leeks. Set aside.
  • Prepare the bread crumbs: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium. Add the panko, season lightly with salt and generously with pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and toasted, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in nutritional yeast, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Wipe out the skillet. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and melt over medium-high. Add the leeks, chard stems, garlic and thyme, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until leeks start to wilt and soften, about 5 minutes. Add the torn chard, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until just wilted, 2 minutes.
  • Add the stock and heavy cream, and boil over high until thickened, about 10 minutes.
  • Once the mixture is simmering, add the pasta to the pot of boiling water and cook until al dente. Drain pasta.
  • Transfer chard mixture to the empty pasta pot. Stir in the cooked pasta, then sprinkle with the Parmesan, stirring vigorously to melt it into the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Divide among shallow bowls or plates. Sprinkle generously with the prepared bread crumbs, top with tarragon and grate fresh lemon zest on top. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Look for brightly colored Swiss chard with crisp leaves. Avoid any wilted or bruised leaves.
  • Wash the chard thoroughly to remove any grit or dirt. You can use a salad spinner to dry the leaves quickly.
  • Remove the tough stems from the Swiss chard leaves. You can do this by running a sharp knife along the stem, or by simply tearing the leaves away from the stem.
  • Chop the Swiss chard leaves into small pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven to cook the Swiss chard. This will give the leaves plenty of room to wilt and soften.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet with Swiss chard. If you do, the leaves will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the Swiss chard over medium heat. This will help prevent the leaves from burning.
  • Stir the Swiss chard frequently while it is cooking. This will help ensure that the leaves cook evenly.
  • Season the Swiss chard with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic, onion, or red pepper flakes.
  • Serve the Swiss chard immediately. It is best when it is still warm.
