BLOODY MIRIAM

Steps:

• My most favorite memory of Bloody Marys was when I lived in Chicago; I'd just graduated and I was working at CNN. I felt so independent, so excited about the future in journalism ahead of me. One Sunday morning, I met up with a couple of my friends at a beer garden, where I had one of the best Bloody Marys ever; not only did it come with blue-cheese stuffed olives, but it also came with a shot of Guinness in the bottom. The beer gave it just a hint of bitterness and a nice depth. Now that I can't handle gluten (ugh!), I can't do the beer, but if you can, try it.
• In a mini-chopper, combine the mint, jalapeno, pickling juice, Worcestershire sauce, turmeric, paprika, garam masala, and salt and pepper, to taste. Whizz until the mint is finely minced and the mixture is as smooth as you can get it.
• In a pitcher, combine the mint mixture with the lime juice, lemon juice, tomato juice, and vodka. Stir, and pour into 4 ice-filled glasses. Stab 2 or 3 blue cheese olives on a toothpick and let it fall into the glass along with an asparagus spear and pickled jalapeno. Garnish with lime and lemon wedges. Sip, and enjoy the rush that the jalapeno pepper will give you. Your brain will start tingling in the back! Seriously!

BLOODY MARY STEAK

Steps:

• In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add the whites and light greens of the scallions and garlic and cook over medium-high heat until wilted, about 1 minute. Deglaze with the lemon juice, then add the bloody mary mix and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil and reduce by half, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle both sides of the steak with salt and pepper. In a cast-iron grill pan over high heat, add the remaining tablespoon oil. Place the steak in the pan and cook without touching, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook to the desired temperature, about another minute for medium. Remove from the pan to a cutting board and allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Slice the meat against the grain and set aside.
• To finish the sauce, stir in the parsley and pickled peppers. Remove from the heat and whisk in the cold butter.
• Add the sauce to the bottom of a warm plate and top with the sliced steak, halved grape tomatoes, whole fresh parsley leaves and reserved scallion greens.
