  • Garlic
    2 cloves $0.79
  • Simple Truth Organic® Rosemary
    1 teaspoon finely chopped $2.49
  • Kirkland Signature Toscana wine
    1/2 cup
  • Heavy cream
    1/4 cup
  • Finely grated Parmesan cheese
    1/4 cup
  • Unsalted butter
    1 tablespoon
  • Olive oil
    2 teaspoons
  • Water
    3 quarts
  • Kosher salt
    1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon
  • Black pepper
    1/4 teaspoon
  • Villa Antinori Tuscany Sangiovese Italy Red Wine
    1 bottle $19.99

Instructions

  1. Bring 3 quarts water and 1 tablespoon kosher salt to a boil. Slice 8 ounces crimini mushrooms, mince 2 ounces shallots and 2 garlic cloves, and finely chop 1 teaspoon rosemary. Pat 7 ounces beef tenderloin dry and season it with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the prepared beef for 2 to 4 minutes per side, until its center reaches 140°F; transfer it to a board and rest for at least 5 minutes so it reaches a safe 145°F.
  3. Add 6 ounces pappardelle to the pot and cook for 1 minute less than the package directs. Reserve exactly 1/2 cup pasta cooking water, then drain.
  4. While the pasta cooks, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in the beef skillet over medium-high heat. Cook 8 ounces crimini mushrooms for 5 minutes until browned; add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, 2 ounces shallots, 2 garlic cloves, and 1 teaspoon rosemary, then cook for 2 minutes.
  5. Pour in 1/2 cup Kirkland Signature Toscana wine and simmer for 3 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup heavy cream and the reserved 1/2 cup pasta cooking water; simmer for 2 minutes, then melt in 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
  6. Add the cooked 6 ounces pappardelle to the skillet and toss over medium-low heat for 1 minute until glossy. Thinly slice the rested 7 ounces beef tenderloin and arrange it over the pasta.
  7. Divide everything between 2 warm shallow bowls, spooning the mushroom sauce over the sliced beef, and serve immediately.

Wine picks:

  • Villa Antinori Tuscany Sangiovese Italy Red Wine $19.99 1 bottle
  • Caparzo Sangiovese Toscana $17.99 1 bottle

Why it works: Tuscan Sangiovese is the natural match for the beef, mushrooms, rosemary, Parmesan, and red-wine cream sauce. Villa Antinori offers the most polished, structured option for this restaurant-style dish, while Caparzo brings savory cherry, earthy depth, and enough acidity to refresh the creamy pasta.

Instructions

  1. Preheat a grill to medium-high, about 425°F, for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, finely dice 1 medium cucumber, 1 medium Roma tomato, and 1/4 cup Walla Walla sweet onion; chop 1/4 cup parsley and mince 1 garlic clove.
  2. Rinse 1/2 cup jasmine rice. Combine the 1/2 cup rinsed jasmine rice, 3/4 cup water, 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 15 minutes; remove from the heat and keep covered for 5 minutes.
  3. Mix 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 teaspoon honey, 1 teaspoon sumac, 1/4 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Coat 12 ounces sockeye salmon with the mixture.
  4. Combine 1 diced cucumber, 1 diced Roma tomato, 1/4 cup diced Walla Walla sweet onion, and 1/4 cup chopped parsley with 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon sumac, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt; let the salad stand for 10 minutes.
  5. Clean and oil the grill grates, then grill the two 6-ounce salmon fillets skin-side down for 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and grill for 2 to 3 minutes, until the centers reach 145°F; transfer the two 6-ounce salmon fillets to a plate and rest for 3 minutes.
  6. Fluff the approximately 1 1/2 cups turmeric rice with a fork, then gently toss the approximately 2 cups cucumber salad once more.
  7. Plate 1 grilled salmon fillet per person with about 3/4 cup turmeric rice and 1 cup cucumber salad.

Wine picks:

  • Chateau Ste. Michelle Sauvignon Blanc Washington White Wine $9.99 1 bottle, well chilled
  • Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough $13.99 1 bottle, well chilled

Why it works: The salmon’s sumac and lemon, along with the cooling cucumber-herb salad, call for a chilled, high-acid Sauvignon Blanc. These bottles add citrus and herbal lift while staying crisp against the grilled fish and turmeric rice.
