Fajitas can be a little boring, don’t you think? Not when they’re topped with these lime-softened jalapeños. If you like a big burst of lime, drain but don’t rinse the chiles before garnishing. Placing the steak briefly in the freezer firms it up, making it easier to slice thinly. Ingredients 12 ounces flank steak 2 […]
For a casual, fun get-together, set up a make-your-own-fajitas bar with the chicken filling, avocado cream, sour cream, and any other toppings you love, like pico de gallo, sliced fresh jalapeños, or crisp radish slices. The recipe serves 4, but you can easily double it to feed a larger crowd. For a quick, easy side, combine […]
This gluten-free take on a taco salad uses seared flank steak in place of ground beef. Instead of a fried tortilla shell, crisp romaine lettuce forms the sturdy base for each salad with crunchy tortilla chips crumbled on top. Queso fresco is a firm, mild cheese—a great alternative to feta if you’re not a fan […]
This one-pan meal is a crowd-pleaser and testament to how 4 ingredients can come together to form a supremely satisfying dish, ready in a flash. We use an old-school cooking trick here and broil the steak directly over the veggies so the meat juices baste them as they caramelize. If you can’t find flat iron, […]
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 […]
A true paella requires time and several ingredients; this deconstructed version is ready in 20 minutes and uses just five ingredients. We swap expensive saffron for turmeric to achieve the classic yellow color, and bloom the spice in hot oil before sautéeing the other ingredients. We stick to fresh shrimp as the main protein (many […]
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 […]
Just a hint of char on the asparagus adds fantastic complexity to this simple 5-ingredient spring salad. Look for medium stalks rather than pencil-thin ones—those would char and dry out too quickly. A soft-boiled egg adds protein and richness; let the slightly runny yolks mingle with the rest of the salad before enjoying. Whole-milk Greek […]
This veggie-forward dinner is easy to make, low on meat, and comes together in just 25 minutes. All it takes is a little bit of center-cut bacon to add big flavor. Whole-grain farro and cannellini beans team up to deliver a bounty of fiber; ripe summer tomatoes and squash add a pop of color and […]
imple and bright, this is the kind of main that puts us in the mood for spring. If you’ve never thrown fresh lemons on the grill, try it: The slight edge of char intensifies their tartness, and they look gorgeous. The marinade is more of a wet rub since the chicken goes straight to the […]
