Fall In Love With Flavor
Swoon-worthy discoveries to indulge in and share.
Meet Cupid’s Secret Weapon
Impress the meat-lover in your life with The Fresh Market’s own Premium Choice Sweetheart Ribeye, lovingly trimmed into the shape of a heart. Pairs beautifully with our tender, succulent Heart-Shaped Maryland Crab Cakes and a luxuriously dark red wine, like Honig Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Delicious!
Sweetheart Ribeye: Just Sear and Serve
Season Properly Thirty minutes before cooking, pat the steak dry with paper towels and season liberally on all sides with kosher salt (no pepper!), then let it warm to room temperature. (Add ground pepper and other seasonings after cooking to prevent spices from burning in the pan.)
High Heat in a Heavy Pan Preheat your largest, heaviest pan (preferably cast iron) over high heat until the pan is slightly smoking. Splash just a droplet of water into the pan. It should skitter and dance immediately. If not, your pan is not hot enough for steak. Keep preheating! Try topping with our Red Wine Mushroom Sauce recipe.
Sear Undisturbed Once your pan is hot enough, reduce the heat slightly, then add a teaspoon of high-heat cooking oil. Carefully lay the steak on the pan (it should sizzle immediately). Raise the heat and cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until the surface is deep brown and the steak releases easily.
Turn Once After 3 minutes, flip it and cook an additional 3-4 minutes or until desired internal temperature. Do not touch the steak!
Give It a Rest Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest uncovered for at least 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute evenly. Then slice and enjoy!

How to make Salami Roses
Get creative with this easy trick for turning sliced salami into edible roses. Not only beautiful, these salami roses will add that salty-savory taste to balance a sweet cheese platter.
1. Grab a Glass
Use a white wine glass for larger roses or a champagne flute for smaller roses.
2. Fold the Salami
Place one piece of salami on the lip of the glass and fold down evenly. Continue until rim of glass is covered.
3. Create Layers
Continue layering slices around the rim until you have 3 layers.
4. Form the Rose
Gently press salami to form it around the glass. Holding salami with one hand, gently pull on glass to remove and reveal the rose.
