Steps:

• In a sauce pan, heat the oil on medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the spice mixture, making sure to crush mixture between fingers before adding. Take off heat and allow to infuse until ready to cook.
• Bring the steaks to room temperature 1 hour before cooking.
• Pre-heat the oven grill to 500F with the rack on the position nearest to the grill - it needs to pre-heat a minimum of 15 minutes to be really hot.
• Put the broiler pan in the oven to get it hot.
• Broil with the door of the oven slightly open otherwise it will cook the meat with the meat's humidity and it won't have the crispiness of a grilled steak. Depending on how you like your meat, cook for more or less time. Start checking after 5 minutes.
• While meat is broiling, warm the oil.
• Turn the steak over to grill the other side and allow to cook. Remove from the grill and put on the cutting board. Using a marinade brush, brush each steak with the oil until coated and then either slice the steak thinly or serve whole. Put each steak on warmed serving plates.
• Season with salt and fresh ground black pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat a heavy non-aluminum Dutch oven over moderately high heat and add the olive oil. When the oil is fragrant, add the chicken meat pieces and sauté, turning frequently for 5 or 6 minutes until lightly browned on all sides.
• Add the onions and carrots and sauté, stirring constantly, until the onions are translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté about 30 seconds. Do not allow the garlic to brown. Immediately add the broth to the pot. Stir bits and pieces loose from the bottom of the pot.
• Add all additional ingredients, except Wondra Flour, and lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Ladle out 1 ladle worth of liquid into a measuring cup. Mix flour into liquid to make a slurry. Pour mixture back into pot and stir. Cover with lid and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the chicken meat pieces are tender, but not soft, about 5 to 10 minutes.
• As the sauce is finishing cooking, add 3 tbsp oil to a heavy skillet and sauté the bell peppers, squashes and broccoli over medium heat until just crisp-tender. Add the veggies to the sauce when the chicken meat is tender, blend all together and simmer 10 minutes.
• Adjust the salt, pepper and herb levels to taste. Toss the cooked pasta with 1 tbsp oil to prevent sticking and add to the sauce; blend chicken, veggies and sauce thoroughly and serve along with Parmesan cheese.

• Over medium heat in a saucepan melt 1 stick of butter and add the entire container of Parmesan cheese and begin to whisk.
• Add garlic slowly.
• Add heavy cream, again whisking until no longer lumpy. At this temp it should come to a boil on its own. When it does, slowly add more heavy cream until the consistency YOU desire, and then remove from heat.

• Mix chopped tomatoes, basil, garlic and oil. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Bring the steak to room temperature. Let the garlic and the tips of the rosemary sit in the olive oil for at least 1/2 hour.
• Build a fire in a charcoal grill or hearth and let it burn down until the embers glow red; alternatively, pre-heat a gas grill with all burners on high, or pre-heat a ridged cast-iron grilling skillet on a high flame on your stovetop.
• Pat the steak dry with paper towels and place it alongside the heat source, on an adjacent table or counter top, for about 10 to 15 minutes to warm the meat. Sprinkle about 3/4 of the salt on top of the steak and place on the grill for about 6 to 8 minutes.
• Flip the steak, and using the rosemary sprigs as a brush, baste the cooked side with the garlic-infused olive oil, using all but a tablespoon or two of the oil. Sprinkle remaining salt on top and continue to grill for about 6-8 minutes.
• Flip the steak again. Brush with the remaining olive oil, grind black pepper over it to taste, and remove the meat from the grill.
• Let the steak rest for about 8-10 minutes, lightly tented with aluminum foil and kept close to the heat. Slice, following the grain of the meat, and serve with lemon wedges.
