seeing. it's the last season of the "mindy project ". >> that's right. the sixth and the final season a lot of people are going to miss the show on hulu and it's the creation of mindy kay lin who wrote it, produced it, stars in and it it's a show about 30 somethings that are trying to literally just figure out life. and in that process, they do a relevantly good job of it. it's clever, charming with a touch of risque, and at the same time it's a landmark show because it's the first time an indian american woman has started her own braufd broadcast tv show. >> i love mindy, she's so fun. >> very fun. >> what about "this is us"? the whole world's gone crazy. >> everybody. this is one of the most anticipated shows coming and returning to season two and this is the show that is -- so i would say it's a smart modern dram med did i that'ski

death, interrelationships and it's about a family that's given all these twists and frurnz life. you can catch season one on nbcdom. >> and then next if we have empire, what should people now? >> hip hop, soap opera basically is what it is. season 4 is returning and a lot of the reason that this show is so successful is because of the scandal lous plot lines but because of the two leads. this is one that you should binge these three seasons because coming to season four a lot of people are going to be looking for this. >> shonda rimes knows how to keep us entertained, that's for sure. >> "gray's anatomy" and "scandal". 13 seasons, i don't know where you get -- >> 13 seasons? >> 13 seasons you can bring binge, 14th season is returning on september 28th. it's aplaimd lamd show, and then "scandal" is olivia pope, seven

fix her own life. so this is one that has made such an impact on a cultural level that this one's going to be missed a lot. >> everybody's wondering how it will end. will she or won't she end up with fits. >> and now they picked up shonda rimes on netflix, multi-million dollars year for them. >> we've been talk a lot about "will and grace" and the zblurn eight seasons from 1998 to 2006. they're returning. the response has been so electric that they -- the show was supposed to be 12 just episodes, they extended to 16 and they just renewed it to season two without the new episode even airing. so tremendous response we can't wait for the show to come back. >> and also "jane the virgin ". october 14 will. fourth season already. this is the show that made jean an rodriguez a star. it's about a pregnant virgin who's just trying to figure

circumstance of events. see if you can do it. it's in english language that's very charming and cork i can but emotional at the same time. >> and one more, "curb your enthusiasm" that's the hit. >> well, larry david decided to take off six years before doing season nine. i guess he must have come up with -- whatever he wants, came one a great yd idea. now ease returning for season nine. if you haven't seen the show it's the misadd ventures of larry david of who plays an exaggerated version of himself with very comical effected. think one of the key things about the show is underneath all the jokes is a lot of social commentary and does he it very skillfully and commentary so you can laugh without the guilt. >> now that it went away and is coming back it's built up even more. up next, how to make the perfect

salad right after this. crohn's diseaseo severe i kept looking for ways to manage my symptoms. i thought i was doing okay. then it hit me... managing was all i was doing. when i told my doctor, i learned humira is for people who still have symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease even after trying other medications. in clinical studies, the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. just managing your symptoms? ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible.

and then the thai salad. so you start off with a beautiful dry aged piece of new york strip. i'm saying it's dry aged because what happens when you dry age a steak is you get this beautiful funky flavor to to it. a little bit of salt and pepper on both sides. there's a couple of important steps to grilling the steak. you don't add any oil to the pan. if you need to add an oil, add it to the steak. >> what kind of oil? >> just a little bit of grape seed oil. truthfully a lot of steak won't need any oil because of the intramuscular fat is enough to give a seal. first of all temper the steak. let it come up to room temperature. cook it on each side for about 60 seconds, and keep turning it ever 60 seconds and that way you're going to cook it a little slower, all right. so i'm going to leave that and then i'm going to show you how it looks when it comes off. >> that's it, just salt and

you really don't need a whole lot of mayor nation on a beautiful tender steak. you want to taste that beautiful flavor of the beef. this is the new york strip once it's been cooked and rested. see how i'm cutting this and juices aren't flying out everywhere? the reason is because you've got this -- you've allowed that temperature to just come down ever so slightly which means all the juice stays inside the steak rather than ending up all over your cutting board. the general rule of thumb is rest it for haflt amount of time it took to cook it. if it was on for five minz minutes treft for 2.5. >> how long should it take to get it to that perfect color inside? >> depends on how long your strak is but one this size is probably only going to spend 60 seconds on each side and til i'll turn it twice. four minutes on each side, four minutes cooking time total. what do you do with leftover steak, sometimes we grill a little too much. you make a beautiful thai

fish sauce, some garlic, ginger and dhooi chili. a little bit of sugar, grape seed oil ar and lime juice. >> it's not fishy. >> all fish sauce say little different, but you don't need -- you don't need to put too much. okay, let me turn it on. you blend it. and that's it. it's that simple. all those ingredients into a blender and that's all have you do. next you make yourself i've got some beautiful greens, some cucumber that i've just sliced, cherry tomatoes, mint, basal, and so sa lan tro. i tear this because bruising that the help to let some of that flavor come out, a little of the basal as well. and the sa lan tro. it's so fresh and garthous,

so then some red onions. cut end of your onion off, slice is nice and thin if the if you want to use a manned de lin with you use a manned de lin. >> you don't even look down, you're look at us. >> this is what do you, always keep your eye on the food. >> no, no. >> and look, they're all perfectly even and cooked just the right way. >> let's go for this, ladies and gentlemen, okay. >> how do you know when it's about to be finished. >> you're making this amazing meal and we're like chop more onions, please. >> you get those onions and scal ions into your salad, toss it a little like that and then you take your steak, pick up that beautiful leftover sliced steak, and, again, it doesn't have any flavor apart from that salt and pepper and then of course you get that the beautiful dressing that you've made, drizzle it around and like this is leftovers which is worthy of a restaurant meal.

>> that dressing, i want to take it home and bottle it up. this is so good. >> and you know what? the thing is it looks so simple but the taste is just insane. >> i'm glad you're enjoying it. >> to the recipe you just need to head to today.com/food. >> this is worth it. >> so easy. >> thank you so much. now let's take a look at the weather this week, which is actually going to be a pretty decent week, especially across the northeast. it will take me to the end of the week before the rain moves in. heavy downpours down south because of the all the humidity in the air as well. scatters showers and thunderstorms through the eastern rockies today and wednesday they move to the middle of the country. humidity down south and dry in the west. enld of the week we'll see scatters storms through the east coast. that's a look at the weather across the country now here's a peek out your window. it's a cloudy start to the day we've warmed to 77 degrees, though, in washington and an
