Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until golden.

SAUTEED BROCCOLI RABE

Steps:

• Working in batches, cook the broccoli rabe in a large pot of boiling salted water until crisp tender, about 2 to 3 minutes per bunch. Transfer the broccoli rabe to a large bowl of ice water to cool. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid. Drain the cooled broccoli rabe and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes, and saute until the garlic is golden, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the broccoli rabe and toss to coat. Add the reserved cooking water, the raisins, and cook until the broccoli rabe is heated through and the stems are tender, about 4 minutes. Season with salt, to taste. Toss the mixture with toasted pine nuts, serve immediately.

Add a pinch each of red pepper flakes and salt, then add the broccoli rabe; cook, stirring, until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.

SAUTEED BROCCOLI RABE WITH GARLIC AND LEMON ZEST

Steps:

• Take a large pot of salty water and bring it to a boil. Cook broccoli rabe in water for 3 to 5 minutes until tender and bright green. Drain well in a colander and set aside.

Season with salt and pepper and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, gently tossing it in the pan. Finish with the lemon zest and juice and toss to combine. The broccoli rabe should be tender and fragrant with lemon when done. Give it one final taste and season, if necessary. Serve immediately.

SAUTEED BROCCOLI RABE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of well salted water to a boil. Set up a bowl of well salted ice water. Drop the broccoli rabe into the boiling water and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the boiling water and plunge immediately into the ice water. Once cool remove from the ice water and let dry. It can be used right away or held for future use.
• Coat a large saute pan with olive oil. Add the smashed garlic and crushed red pepper and bring to medium heat. Once the garlic is brown and aromatic, remove it from the pan and discard. It has fulfilled its garlic destiny. Add the broccoli rabe and toss around in the oil to heat up and season. Remember the broccoli is already cooked. Add more oil, if needed and season with salt if needed (it probably will).

STIR-FRIED BROCCOLI RABE WITH BEETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut the leaves, with their stalks, off the beets and set them aside. Bake the beets in their skins for one to two hours, until they are tender when tested with a skewer or sharp knife.
• Trim the tough stalks from the broccoli rabe and discard. Cut the remaining stalks and leaves into two-inch pieces (it is easier to do this holding the broccoli rabe in a bunch). Cut stalks off beet greens and discard. Coarsely chop the leaves.
• When the beets are cool enough to handle, peel and dice them. Season them to taste with salt and pepper and keep them warm.
• Heat oil in a skillet and stir-fry garlic for a minute. Add broccoli rabe and beet greens and stir-fry until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange the greens on a serving dish and place the diced beets in the middle. Serve immediately.

WHOLE ROASTED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH RED-WINE BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Place red wine, vinegar, shallot, peppercorns, and thyme in a small saucepan over high heat; cook until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Generously season tenderloin on all sides with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large heavy-bottomed roasting pan over high heat. Carefully add tenderloin and transfer roasting pan to oven. Roast, turning every 5 minutes, until medium-rare (120 degrees on an instant-read thermometer), 12 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, slowly whisk the cold butter into the warm wine reduction until emulsified. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a small saucepan; season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
• Remove tenderloin from oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and slice crosswise; arrange slices on a large platter. Pour any juices that have accumulated in the roasting pan into the red-wine sauce and stir to combine. Serve beef accompanied with sauce.
