Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Prepare the Steak

Generously season both sides of the steaks with salt and black pepper.

Season the Steaks

In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it's shimmering but not smoking.

Heat the Pan

Carefully place the seasoned steaks in the hot pan. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them.

Sear the Steaks

After searing for 4-5 minutes, flip the steaks over. Add the garlic cloves and rosemary to the pan.

Add Garlic and Herbs

Add the butter to the pan, and with a spoon, baste the steaks with the melted butter for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare.

Baste the Steaks

Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. The internal temperature for medium-rare should be around 130°F (54°C).

Check Doneness

Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes before slicing.

Rest the Steaks

Slice and serve the steaks with the pan juices drizzled on top.

In a large bowl, add the buttermilk and the pieces of chicken. Ensure all pieces are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Marinate the Chicken

In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper until well combined.

Prepare the Coating

In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature.

Heat the Oil

Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Allow excess buttermilk to drip off, then dredge each piece in the flour mixture until fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.

Coat the Chicken

Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 10-15 minutes on each side or until the chicken is golden brown and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Fry the Chicken

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Prepare the Ingredients

Sprinkle the Wagyu beef patties with salt and black pepper on both sides. Let them sit for a few minutes to absorb the seasoning.

Season the Patties

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is achieved.

Cook the Patties

In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt.

Add Cheese

While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

Toast the Buns

Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place the lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked Wagyu patty with melted cheese. Add slices of tomato, onion, and pickles. Drizzle ketchup on top and cap with the top half of the bun.

Assemble the Burger

Serve the Wagyu burgers immediately with your choice of sides.

In a small bowl, combine the warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and stir gently. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Activate Yeast

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt until well combined.

Combine Dry Ingredients

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the frothy yeast mixture along with the olive oil. Stir until the mixture begins to come together into a dough.

Mix the Dough

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Knead the Dough

Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

First Rise

After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Turn it out onto a floured surface, shape it into a loaf or divide it into smaller portions for rolls.

Shape the Dough

Place the shaped dough into a greased loaf pan or on a baking sheet. Cover it with a cloth and let it rise again for about 30-45 minutes or until it has doubled in size.

Second Rise

While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Preheat the Oven

Once the second rise is complete, place the dough in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Bake the Bread

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps to remove any excess moisture, ensuring a good sear.

Prepare the Scallops

In a bowl, season the scallops with salt and black pepper. Make sure to coat them evenly on both sides.

Season the Scallops

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set aside for later use.

Mince the Garlic

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 2 minutes.

Add the scallops to the hot skillet in a single layer, ensuring they are not crowded. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown.

Sear the Scallops

Carefully flip the scallops using tongs. Add the butter and minced garlic to the pan. Sear for an additional 2-3 minutes until the scallops are opaque and tender.

Flip the Scallops

Once the scallops are cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.

Add Lemon Juice and Parsley

Transfer the scallops to a serving plate and serve immediately while hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures your biscuits will bake evenly and rise nicely.

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Whisk together until well combined.

Add 0.5 cups of cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes, into the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Cut in Butter

Pour in 3 tablespoons of milk and 1 tablespoon of honey into the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

Add Wet Ingredients

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough 3-4 times to bring it together. Pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Shape the Biscuits

Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.

Bake the Biscuits

Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam.

Cool and Serve

Honey

In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Prepare the Marinade

Place the halibut fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the fish. Make sure the fillets are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to soak in.

Marinate the Halibut

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the fish from sticking.

Prepare the Baking Sheet

Remove the halibut from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Bake the Halibut

Meanwhile, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, until slightly thickened.

Prepare the Glaze

Once the halibut is done baking, remove it from the oven. Drizzle the thickened glaze over the fish and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve immediately.
