These are the kinds of mushrooms that talked in class. They smoked, they drank… they rode motorcycles without helmets, taking Dead Man's Curve nearly parallel to the ground. These are some wild, wild mushrooms we're serving up to you, combined with meaty steak, rich and buttery pine nuts, chives, and Asiago. Can a mere risotto contain such crazy? This one can. Tip: Want to get the most juice out of your lemon? Before cutting, microwave the lemon for 15-20 seconds to "soften" the fruit. Then, gently roll the softened fruit on your work surface while pressing on it with your palm. Finally, give yourself some serious mechanical advantage by placing a cut half in between the arms of a pair of tongs to make squeezing much easier.

Place porcini mushrooms in a heat-safe mixing bowl and cover with warm water. Set aside, 5 minutes.
While porcinis soak, mince chives.Separate steak strips into a single layer and pat dry. Season all over with half the garlic salt (reserve remaining for risotto) and a pinch of pepper.After five minutes, remove porcini mushrooms from water and coarsely chop. Discard water. -

3 Finish the Risotto
Add 1 cup boiling water from other medium pot to pot with rice. Rice should just be covered by water. Stir often until nearly all water is absorbed.
Add 1/2 cup boiling water and stir often again until nearly all water is absorbed. Repeat this process, stirring often, 18-20 minutes.Taste risotto as you cook, checking for tenderness. When rice has no more “bite” or crunch, it's done. There may be water left.Remove from burner. Stir in Asiago, chives (reserve a pinch of both for garnish), butter, remaining garlic salt, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Cover and set aside. -
