Steak Tips with Mushroom Gravy. After some initial tests, we figured out how to make steak tips with gravy in one skillet. For the beef, inexpensive flap meat, with plenty of internal marbling for tenderness, proved ideal. We add dried porcini for extra mushroom flavor and use the moisture from deeply browned mushrooms and onions to make a delicious sauce. Shrimp Tempura. We choose the largest shrimp available to avoid overcooking and fry in 400-degree oil to limit grease absorption. For the batter, we replace some of the flour with cornstarch to create a light and crisp coating, and we substitute a surprise ingredient - vodka - for water. Unlike water, alcohol doesn't produce toughening gluten when mixed with flour. Rosemary Focaccia. For tender, airy loaves of crisp-crusted focaccia, we use an almost no-knead mixing method to limit gluten development. A long resting process lets the natural enzymes in wheat replicate the effect of kneading. To shave an hour off this time, we add salt later in the process, which prevents it from slowing down the activity of the enzymes during proofing. Chocolate-Raspberry Torte. Adding ground nuts to our rich, fudgy flourless chocolate cake makes it sturdy enough to serve as the base of our torte. We combine raspberry jam with mashed fresh raspberries for a tangy-sweet filling that clings to the cake. A glaze made from bittersweet chocolate and heavy cream creates a glossy ganache that pours smoothly over the cake.
