ChopHouse Recipe  Lobster Mac and Cheese
Chef Chris Hammer
1 Cup Heavy Cream
1 Cup Whole Milk
1 ½ Cups grated Asiago cheese
2 tsp Truffle oil
Cooked Lobster Meat
Penne Noodles

Bring cream and milk to a simmer under low heat. Slowly add the grated cheese stirring it in to the sauce to melt it together. Wisk in the truffle oil and the sauce is complete.

To complete the Mac and Cheese pour sauce over cooked penne noodles and add already cooked lobster meat to a pan. Heat until the noodles and lobster are warm and add a dash of salt and pepper, then serve and enjoy!


ChopHouse Recipe  Classic Crème Brûlée
Chef Fedorko
Serves 4
8 egg yolks
1/3 cup granulated white sugar
2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup granulated white sugar (for the caramelized tops)

Preheat oven to 300ºF.

In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is thick and pale yellow.

Add cream and vanilla, and continue to whisk until well blended. Strain into a large bowl, skimming off any foam or bubbles.

Divide mixture among 6 ramekins or custard cups.

Place in a water bath and bake until set around the edges, but still loose in the center, about 50 to 60 minutes.

Remove from oven and leave in the water bath until cooled.

Remove cups from water bath and chill for at least 2 hours, or up to 2 days.

When ready to serve, sprinkle about 2 teaspoons of sugar over each custard.

For best results, use a small, hand-held torch to melt sugar.

If you dont have a torch, place under the broiler until sugar melts. Re-chill custards for a few minutes before serving.

ChopHouse Recipe  Grilled Asian Flank Steak
Chef Taube
For the marinade:

1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup plum sauce
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup scallions, finely sliced
3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
2 tablespoons fresh garlic, minced
2 flank steaks, about 1-1/4 pounds each and 3/4 inch thick

To make the marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the marinade ingredients.

Trim the flank steaks of any surface fat and then place in a large, resealable plastic bag. Pour in the marinade, press the air out of the bag, and seal tightly. Refrigerate for 3 to 6 hours, turning occasionally.

Remove the steaks from the bag and reserve the marinade. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan, bring to a boil, and boil for 1 full minute. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and allow the steaks to stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before grilling. Grill over Direct High heat until cooked to desired doneness, 8 to 10 minutes for medium-rare, turning once. Remove from the grill and let rest for 3 to 5 minutes. Cut across the grain into thin strips. Serve warm with the sauce.


ChopHouse Recipe  Hard Seared Dayboat Scallops
Chef Wiggin
4 large scallops
4 oz Berkshire bacon
1 small shallot
I cup vermouth
3 oz whole butter
1 oz duck fat or clarified butter
2 russet potatoes
4 oz butter
2 oz cream
1 small bundle of chives

Peel potatoes and add to cold water. Bring to boil and cook potatoes until tender for mashing. While potatoes are boiling, dice shallot and add to vermouth.

Cut lardons from the Berkshire and render fat from meat in a separate pan. Discard fat.

Add lardons to shallot vermouth and reduce until the pan is practically dry. Stir in whole butter making sure sauce does not break. No one wants to eat an oily mess. Set sauce aside.

Drain potatoes and pass through a food mill. Stir in butter and add cream. Season to taste and fill a small piping bag with your mashers.

Clean and season the scallops and bring the chosen fat to its smoke point in a ten inch sautee pan. Sear scallops on one side until beautifully dark brown. Flip the scallops and into the oven (350 degrees) with the whole pan.

Pipe four towers of power onto a rectangle plate. Remove scallops from oven after the scallops are fully caramelized. Place one scallop on top of each tower of mashers. Sauce each scallop with an equal amount of sauce.

Garnish. Chef prefers to use a chive baton or micro-greens.
