Best-Ever Traditional LasagnaThis ground beef classic may seem fussy to make but using a béchamel sauce and medium ground beef makes this so much better than a purchased lasagna. Béchamel is easier than you may think and using oven-ready noodles saves prep and clean-up time. BONUS: This recipe makes about 2 cups extra meat sauce that you can package up and freeze to use as a speedy weeknight spaghetti dinner.

Oven-Braised Beef CurryChef Rahil selected boneless beef short ribs from the Canadian Beef Information Gateway to make his version of a traditional braised beef curry. Aromatic but made with just a few basic pantry ingredients and standard braising technique so it’s not daunting for even ‘curry beginners’ to make. Beef short ribs are well marbled so the meat is moist and tender when braised and oh so flavourful!

Persian Okra Stew (Khoresh Bamieh)By Tara Omidvar, @madeofsugarandsaffron, Khoresh Bamieh or okra stew is a dish originating in the south of Iran. It’s a hot and flavourful dish with lots of garlic. Okra, beef and tamarind are the main ingredients. Like many other Iranian stews, there are different versions of this stew as well. Some cooks add split peas and some make it without tamarind. This version is the one that Tara’s grandmother taught her. The sourness that tamarind provides to this dish can’t be replaced with any other ingredient. As with every other Iranian stew, this dish is always served with saffron rice. You can also serve Shirazi Salad (see Tip), fresh herbs and/or pickled vegetables as accompaniments.
