September Memorable Meal

By Executive Chef Russell Skall

I love the thrill of discovering new flavor combinations. I enjoy trying different dishes that reveal unique tastes and textures. Sometimes that means beef, sometimes lamb. Then there are those times when a beautiful piece of seared fish seems just right. I admit it, sometimes I really want it all.

And that’s why I’ve created this Memorable Meal for our September Month of Discovery. I’ve put three of Fleming’s classic entrées together on one plate, so you can explore a variety of tastes in one evening. The entrée trio includes Filet Mignon, Seared Ahi Tuna and New Zealand Lamb Chop, each presented on a bed of parmesan mashed potatoes. I let the quality of the filet speak for itself, with simple seasoning and a drizzle of peppercorn sauce. The seared ahi tuna is crusted with a combination of freshly cracked pepper and poppy seeds, and topped off with a zesty, fresh tomato vinaigrette. The lamb chop is marinated in fresh herbs and garlic, then I’ve cranked up the flavors even more with the addition of Madeira sauce.

As a prelude to the entrée trio, we’re serving a salad that’s a taste experience in itself. Warm, grilled peaches, combined with the tang of goat cheese and the crunchy texture of caramelized walnuts with a spring mix of fresh greens, tossed with a lemon vinaigrette that’s made to really bring out the full flavor of the peaches.

The tasting adventure continues with a side trio of roasted vegetables — cauliflower, broccoli and baby carrots — in a Kalamata vinaigrette. And the big finish is a crème brûlée trio for dessert: chocolate with white chocolate shavings, vanilla with raspberry sauce, and banana with mango sauce. Who says three’s a crowd?

To truly bring out the magic of this extraordinary meal, Fleming’s Director of Wine Marian Jansen op de Haar has selected a wine flight from the new Fleming’s 100 to pair with each entrée. Every one of these wines is a revelation in itself.

Join us at Fleming’s and discover all these taste combinations for yourself. For at least one evening
in September, you really can have it all.
