Asian Tea Rubbed Brisket

This slow cooked brisket takes all day, but requires little more than patience to turn out a delicious meal with plenty left-over. Instead of traditional Texas-style seasonings, we prepped the brisket with a coating of mustard and our Asian Tea Rub, which is smoky and sweet with hints of orange and ginger. The smells coming from the oven will tempt you to peek and rush to the finish, but don't! The results will be worth the wait.

Asian Tea Glazed Duck Breast

This Asian Tea Glazed Duck Breast is the perfect dish to celebrate the Lunar New Year. The glaze is seasoned with our Asian Tea Rub, combining bold, pine-smoked Lapsang Souchong tea with hints of cinnamon, pepper, ginger, orange and brown sugar. The glaze is easy to put together and the sweet and smoky flavors are balanced with a bit of sour from tamarind paste. We served the duck on a bed of leek and celery root puree alongside crunchy fennel slaw. We were lucky enough to have a duck cooking coach on hand, thanks Scott! The result was a perfectly cooked breast with a thin and even layer of crispy fat on the outside. Follow the cooking instructions closely and you will enjoy the results. This meal will set the tone for a spectacular 2020. Happy New Year!

Tea Rubbed Roast Chicken

This tea rubbed roast chicken the best roast chicken I've ever made, and that is not a claim made lightly...The meat is moist and delicious, the pan sauce otherworldly, and all of the components come together to create a beautiful new flavor. The star is our Asian Tea Rub, delightfully balanced with an exotic depth. The blend unites all of the flavors of the dish, while the subtle smokiness of the tea brings the pan sauce to storied heights. Finally, if you have extra room in your pan, go ahead and throw in a few vegetables. We had a sweet potato and a few baby reds on hand.

Miso Marinated Halibut

Whether you love black cod, salmon or halibut best, try your favorite in this wonderfully decadent dish. Our miso marinated halibut is adapted from the classic Japanese preparation popularized by chef Nobu Matsuhisa. I've enjoying this dish in seafood restaurants for years, but never tried my hand at it until now. It just seemed so fancy! But when we created our Asian Tea Rub, I knew it would be a perfect flavor match, and it is. The umami-goodness of the miso marinade plays perfectly with the smoky tea and subtle spices. Serve this dish with a simple side of rice and vegetables for an impressive and delicious meal.
