Meat

Stash bags of these spice-rubbed pork tenderloin strips in your freezer to use to make family-friendly dinners.

This is not your grandma’s beef stroganoff. We updated our favorite parts of the classic by swapping in a medium-rare strip steak and adding a squeeze of lemon and sprinkling of dill for a fresh take on dinner.

Fresh fennel—tossed in a sprightly cilantro salsa verde—adds crunch against thinly sliced steak and pillowy focaccia.

It’s fast, it’s easy, it’s totally repurposable. Making extra steak tonight means a stress-free dinner tomorrow, a little strategy we call nextovers.

This recipe makes more saucy, sausage-laced beans than you need, but the leftovers can be repurposed as a quick topper for pasta on another night. If you don’t have spinach, any greens from your fridge will work.

What’s better than a griddled burger with the crispiest exterior? One that comes sandwiched between a vibrant tomatillo salsa and topped with a runny fried egg.

My fried rice axiom is this: always use a little more ginger than seems appropriate. This is especially true with this fried rice version, enriched with smoky pork and rich bites of sautéed mushrooms.

There may be no better way to stretch odds and ends around the kitchen than to make a frittata: there’s no crust to fuss with, the eggy matrix can handle almost any savory inclusions, and the frittata itself can be enjoyed hot or at room temperature.

It may seem excessive to have bacon, sausages, and blood pudding on one breakfast plate—but when it comes to St. Patrick’s Day in America, isn’t excess kind of the point?

Cinnamon, ginger, and dates add spicy, bright, sweet dimension to this warming lamb stew.

Sweet potatoes and maple syrup add natural sweetness to these muffins—perfect for prepping for a week of breakfasts, dinners, or lunches.

A zesty horseradish sauce and fresh parsley gremolata brighten up a classic comforting beef stew.
