Whisk together soy and honey. Place steak in a Ziploc bag, pour soy sauce and honey over, and add garlic. Squeeze out excess air, seal, and marinate overnight in the fridge.<\/p>\n<p><em>Day 2<\/em><br \/>\nComplete Pumpkin \u201cWasabi\u201d and Sesame grilled asparagus\u00a0(see instructions below),\u00a0then remove the steak, being careful to reserve the remaining marinade. Add marinade to a pot and bring to boil, then lower heat and condense to a glaze. Grill the steak to medium rare. Allow to rest for 5-7 minutes. Proceed to assembly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pumpkin \u201cWasabi\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\n(<em>measurements are approximate<\/em>)<br \/>\n1 sugar pumpkin<br \/>\n2 Tbsp. horseradish mustard<br \/>\n1 Tbsp. honey<br \/>\nDash of soy sauce<\/p>\n<p>Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Slice pumpkin in half, remove seeds and stringy, spongy innards. Place halves cut side down on a baking sheet with sides; fill the baking sheet with 1\/2-inch water. Bake until the flesh softens, so that the pumpkin is easily dented when the skin is pushed (approximately 1 hour). Let cool, and then scoop out 2 cups of pumpkin flesh. Mash with a fork and gradually blend in horseradish mustard, soy sauce, and honey to taste (one should not consciously taste the soy sauce or honey; the salt and sweetness enhances the flavors of pumpkin and horseradish). Proceed to assembly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sesame Grilled Asparagus<\/strong><br \/>\n1 bunch asparagus<br \/>\n2 Tbsp. sesame oil<\/p>\n<p>Wash asparagus and break off hard ends. Place in a wide bowl or ceramic container. Boil water and blanch asparagus for 3-5 minutes depending on thickness. Asparagus should remain crisp; start checking once the green becomes more vibrant under the boiling water. Do not overcook. Drain and dry asparagus, place on grill,\u00a0and brush with sesame oil. Remove when asparagus skin has blistered. Proceed to assembly.<\/p>\n<p>Break out \u201cChakraborty Chef\u2019s Wine\u201d (optional): California Cabernet or Pinot Noir, or Martinelli\u2019s Apple Juice (if employing underage sous-chefs). Open bottles and pour glasses, being careful to match libations to intended recipients. Sip throughout the cooking process (to taste).\u00a0Proceed to assembly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Assembly<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Set out 4 plates and place 1\/3 cup of the pumpkin \u201cwasabi\u201d in the center of each. Slice the NY strip steak on the bias, and arrange 3 slices along with 3 asparagus spears on top. Drizzle or brush glaze on the steak and asparagus, then around each plate.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The winning Chakraborty family has generously shared their appetizer recipe.
