A classic Vietnamese sandwich gets reincarnated as a cheesy pizza. Is this even legal? Carrots, cucumber, and radish are quick-pickled and piled high for superb crunch. The classic banh mi odyssey calls for pork and pâté, though our meatless version is plenty satisfying. If you’re craving an extra hit of quality protein, try cracking 2 […]
A generous side of fresh veggies makes hearty comfort food lighter. Super-succulent pork chops and roasted carrots are paired with vastly underrated cabbage to create a vibrant vegetable medley that is equal parts flavorful and nutritious. Aromatic caraway lends earthiness while apple jelly adds a sweet contrast to the finishing sauce. This meal is pretty enough […]

Beef tenderloin steaks are often considered a special-occasion cut, but when they go on sale (or you’re ready for a splurge), this classic preparation is foolproof. Use a timer rather than turning, prodding, or overcooking the steaks, and set the timer again while they rest so you don’t slice too soon. You could also use […]

Steak, peas, and carrots are a familiar trio, and usually not very exciting. Here, each element is transformed: a smoky spice rub on seared flank steak, crispy snap peas brightened with rice vinegar, and a silky carrot mash.
