Fast & Easy Dinner: Feta-Stuffed Pita Burgers
Who says a burger has to be served between two buns? This recipe takes the traditional notion of the cheeseburger and turns it on its head. Instead of crumbling cheese over the patties, the feta is stuffed into the middle of a ground meat mixture.
Monday's Leftovers: Thai Beef With Coconut Rice
Last night I made an Eastern European-inspired ground sirloin stew with egg noodles, and tonight I'm going to use the leftover beef to make something on the opposite end of the spectrum! I'm craving takeout, but — inspired by my recent successes — I'm going to continue my pattern of preparing Asian foods at home.
Spice up the sirloin with the help of minced garlic, lime, and Asian fish sauce, and wake up your senses with freshly-torn basil and julienned chiles.
Sunday Dinner: Sirloin Stew With Dill Noodles
Earlier this month, Party and I were enticed by one reader's rendition of beef stroganoff. If you, too, found yourself salivating over her creation, here's another dish that you need to bookmark! Unlike the classic course, which has sour cream and mushrooms, the ground beef in this recipe becomes a stew with the help of a roux, beef broth, and Worcestershire.
Consumers Warm Up to Humanely Raised Veal
While the vegetarian trend has continued to rise, a meat movement is also gaining popularity. The latest subject in sustainable agriculture? Pasture-raised veal.
Fast & Easy Dinner: Tortilla Pie
While I've cooked my fair share of quesadillas, I've never experimented with tortilla pie, which is essentially, a stack of quesadillas. I've always wanted to though — there's something so interesting about a tower of tortillas with lots of layers and oozing filling. Doesn't a slice look intensely satisfying?
For a Quick Bite, Roll Your Own Spring Rolls
This past weekend, San Francisco experienced a couple of the hottest days of the year. After a blistering morning walk around the city with out-of-town visitors, I invited my friends over for lunch. To keep things appropriately light, I served wine spritzers and made fresh Vietnamese-style Spring rolls.
Monday's Leftovers: Mixed-Pepper Steak With Onions
I like to get my week off to the right start by making a square meal at home, but Mondays often wind up being hectic and frazzled. Thankfully, I've come across a dish that pleases everyone, doesn't require too much time or effort, and calls for only a handful of ingredients, including sirloin, which I have on hand. It reminds me of the pepper steak my mother made for me growing up.
'Wich of the Week: Classic Reuben
The Reuben is such a classic American sandwich that two people claim to have invented it: Reuben Kulakofsky of Omaha, NE, who enjoyed the sandwich at a weekly poker game, and New York deli owner Arthur Reuben, who said he first made the sandwich around 1914.
Who first grilled up that savory stack of rye bread, corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Russian dressing, we'll probably never know. But that won't stop me from enjoying an endless parade of Reuben recipes, from pastrami to tempeh.
Monday's Leftovers: Seared Skirt Steak With Mushroom Salad
Trying out a mushroom & Swiss Angus burger in a recent taste test provided me with a much-needed reminder that there's really no combination like steak, mushrooms, and Swiss cheese to please a crowd of meat eaters. I've got a speedy weeknight dinner planned that makes the most of leftover skirt steak by serving it alongside a slivered mushroom salad.
Because skirt steak is a thin cut, it already cooks quickly, but slicing it up into pieces, as this recipe suggests, means your meal will be ready even sooner.
Sunday BBQ: Grilled Skirt Steak With Chimichurri
When envisioning steak for dinner, cuts such as ribeye and tenderloin might be the first to come to mind. But don't forget skirt steak, a thin cut that's supreme when it comes to outdoor grilling.
This type of meat has more fat than a hanger steak or flank steak, meaning even the most mildly seasoned skirt steak will have out-of-this world flavor and juiciness.
