There's nothing quite like a piece of perfectly cooked meat with a dollop of melting butter forging minuscule rivers of flavor in the nooks and crannies. We've provided you all the elements here: Fried sage is both delicate and crispy and adds the perfect herbaceous hint when joining sweet honey in the butter. Crunchy broccoli and hazelnuts round out this easy-to-make, delightful-to-eat weekday meal.
Tip: How to mince sage: stack the leaves, then ball them up. Hold them with your non-knife hand, using that hand to guide you as you slice. Then rock your knife back and forth until the sage is minced!
