Saline
2 quarts of water
1 1⁄2 pound of salt

In a 4 quart pot, bring the water to a boil with the salt. When the salt is dissolved, cool the water down to use. Do not place the cheese into hot saline.

Ingredients:
Serves 4

4 ears of corn, shucked and cleaned
4 6-ounce beef filets
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup of pecorino cheese
1 teaspoon butter

Pan-Seared Filet of Beef with Corn Basil Succotash

Directions


Carefully, with a long, sharp knife, cut the corn kernels from the cob. Set aside the kernels (and reserve the cobs if you want to make a cob broth).

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Season the beef with salt and pepper. In a large sauté pan, heat the oil and sear the beef on all sides, just until brown and caramelized. Top each filet with 1 tablespoon of the grated pecorino cheese, and place the filets in the oven for 4 to 5 minutes.

Heat the butter in a sauté pan. When it's foamy, add the corn, tomatoes, yellow onion, and scallion. Pour in the beef stock and add the chopped basil. Simmer for 3 for 4 minutes.

Divide the succotash between 4 individual bowls, and top each with one of the beef filets.
