From the Test Kitchen

Though fall is approaching, the fields are still alive and gorgeous with summer produce. We’re reveling especially in sweet corn and cherry tomatoes in this gourmet dish. Sautéed with garlic and scallions, they make a simply delicious side for juicy, seared steaks and roasted potatoes. To balance the richness of the steaks, we’re also serving crème fraîche—a delicately flavored, French version of sour cream—infused with parsley and lemon juice. Let’s celebrate summer while the sun shines, chefs!
