Tonight at the Chefs Table..

I present you an applewood smoked bacon wrapped filet mignon sat atop herbs de province infused basmati rice with basil butter sautéed squash, sweet peppers and purple asparagus. Added some ancho and morita dots for a little sweet and smokey hint of spice.

I paired this dish with a simply beautiful

This particular vintages sunny blackberry and cherry flavors are ripe but restrained in this juicy, fruity red blend. It’s full bodied and densely concentrated with black-fruit flavors, but hints of wild thyme, mint and earth show on the midpalate. It’s quite elegant when compared with a nice filet mignon.

Big shots out to Doug my Sommelier at Central Market! He has NEVER led me wrong!! Enjoy..

I love being a Chef!!

This dish looks simple but it’s packed with flavors from myer lemon infused olive oils to mesquite habanero ground spices to vanilla pepper to yakama applewood smoke sea salt to lavender and herbs de Provence.

The beautiful part of it all is layering the flavors and making them sing in unison!

Beef flank Steak stuffed with Spinach and feta.

Beef flank Steak stuffed with Spinach and feta topped with a Chile lime butter and accented with roasted red and yellow peppers and sautéed asparagus.

It was carefully paired with a simply amazing Texas wine. The Six Shooter Black Lotus Lenoir 2013 from Guadalupe County! It is a premium red wine made from the Lenoir grapes grown in their vineyard in Guadalupe County Texas.

The wine has amazing deep red hues, a sharp fruity taste and a diverse aroma with a complex soft tannin structure. These marry well with the bold flavors of the beef with the spinach and feta and the sautéed asparagus!

This is a MUST HAVE in your wine collection!

I love being a Chef!!
