    I think it looks pretty good. I’ve got a few suggestions for you:

    1) Blanch the Broccoli Rabe first, then toss in an ice bath, then pat dry. This will give you a more vibrant green color on the broccoli rabe.

    2) Slice the garlic for when you sauté it with the broccoli rabe. It will give the broccoli rabe a bit of color and texture variance.

    3) Think about adding a lemon slice to the rabe. This way you have a nice pop of yellow color along with some fresh vibrant acidity that the diner will add.

    4) Overlap the meat on the last 1/3

    5) Don’t put the sauce on top of the meat it muddies the color.

    6) get a better sear on the meat. Having some dark parts of the crust gives you better color variance.

    Hopefully these tips are helpful!

    I am genuinely asking: if you were served this in a restaurant, would you think it looks appetizing?
