Tip: Cut the veggies and whisk up the simple sauce the night before so you get dinner on the table as fast as take out. Recipe adapted from the original developed by Life with Fariha.

Recipe adapted from the original developed by Life with Fariha.

Oregano Dijon-Marinated Hanger Steak with Nut-Free Pesto Pasta Salad

Looking for the perfect weeknight dinner that doubles as a next-day packable lunch? This is it! Made with sunflower seeds, this pesto is a nut-free, school-safe (and much less expensive) version of the original. Pro Tip: don’t over blend your pesto or it’ll end up becoming too smooth and not the most pleasant texture. Pesto was originally made in a mortar and pestle to make a coarse paste. Today, many people make the mistake of over-blending with a machine and it ends of becoming ‘blend-o’ instead of ‘pest-o’. If you have a mortar and pestle at home, feel free to use them instead of a food processor! The pasta salad and steak can be refrigerated overnight and served cold or at room temperature for lunch the next day. Tomato Tip: Since tomatoes lose a lot of their garden-fresh flavour when refrigerated, add the tomatoes only when you’re ready to eat.

Beef Kofta Curry

Ditch the take-out and make this delicious curry at home instead – it comes together in under an hour. Serve with the traditional accompaniment of rice or naan, or even with thick slices of sourdough bread. Recipe adapted from the original developed by Life with Fariha.

Tender Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry

A quick soak in alkaline solution made with baking soda is a common Chinese culinary technique called “velveting”. The alkaline modifies the protein structure of the meat to boost juiciness, tenderness, and optimize browning. Prep the vegetables while the beef marinates and you’ll have this restaurant favourite on the table in no time. Recipe adapted from the original developed by Christina Chow.

Loaded Steak Potato Skins

A pub classic, made even better with juicy, succulent cubes of grilled steak. These crowd-pleasing morsels are perfect for game day, or even just a regular Tuesday! These are best served fresh, but we can’t deny that something just hits right about them eaten cold out of the fridge, too. Pro Tip: don’t waste the potato you scoop out! Use it for soups, bake it into breads or as a binder in a vegetable fritter! 6 medium (about 2 to 3 inches/5 to 7.5 cm) yellow flesh or russet potatoes.

Reverse-Seared Tomahawk Steak with Fig and Fresh Herb Board Sauce

This prized steak makes an impressive gift for the beef-lover in your life! Just ask that it be vacuum packed so it can last in the fridge a week or so or wrap it well to freeze.

This Petite Tender has all the flavours we love about a warming bowl of spiced nuts, but in a juicy, tender roast.
