Menu

  4. 4. Cornbread with Whipped Honey Butter
  5. 5. Pistachio Toffee Ice Cream

Notes

The prime rib was the star. Eight hours sous vide at 131°F, then a hard sear in a screaming hot cast iron with butter and thyme. Came out a perfect edge-to-edge medium rare. The mushroom gravy — made from the roasting juices plus a pound of cremini — was better than the meat.

The butternut squash soup was a last-minute addition and ended up being everyone’s favorite bite. Just roasted squash, a little cream, and a heavy hand with black pepper.

The cornbread was finished with a brown butter swirl on top. Would repeat.
