GRILLED STRIP STEAKS WITH GARLIC AND OREGANO

Steps:

• Combine minced garlic, olive oil, and dried oregano in a bowl. Place steaks on a large plate and coat well on both sides with mixture. Cover lightly with plastic and place in refrigerator for 2 hours. Remove from fridge 30 minutes before going onto the grill. This will help the meat come up to temperature before coming into contact with heat.
• Preheat grill for medium-high heat.
• Remove plastic wrap from steaks and season both sides of meat with salt and black pepper.
• Place steaks on the grill and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness. Once cooked to preference, remove from heat and set onto a cutting board. Lightly tent with aluminum foil. Do not wrap tightly. Let steaks rest for 7 to 10 minutes. Slice and serve or serve steaks whole with your favorite side dishes.

UTICA GREENS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat. Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl and set aside.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, prepare the oreganato: Mix the oil, bread crumbs and cheese until well blended. It should have the texture of moist beach sand. Set aside.
• When the water is boiling, blanch the greens until they are nearly limp but still a little firm, about 1 to 2 minutes. Plunge them into the ice bath to stop the cooking. Remove and drain them well in a colander or salad spinner, allowing them to remain moist but not dripping wet. Squeeze just a little of the moisture from them, then chop them into 2-inch pieces. Set aside.
• Heat the broiler. Coat a large pan with the olive oil. Over medium heat, sauté the prosciutto, cherry peppers and garlic until the prosciutto is browned and slightly crisp, about 5 minutes. (Lower heat slightly if garlic begins to brown too quickly.) Add the chopped greens to the pan, season with salt and pepper and stir to mix well.
• Add 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano and 1/2 cup of the oreganato. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently to blend, scraping the bottom of the pan to keep the oreganato from burning.
• Sprinkle another 1/4 cup oreganato atop the greens. (Save leftover oreganato for use in another greens dish, or add it to baked chicken or shrimp.) Place the pan under the broiler and broil until the top browns, about 2 minutes. Remove from the broiler and sprinkle a bit more cheese on the dish. Serve immediately.
