Enjoy these three recipes from Andrea’s new cookbook featuring Canadian beef. We know these will become of a few of your favourites.

Taco Tater Tot Cottage Pie

There’s not really anything to say except “Yes, please!” A taco cottage pie has to be the ultimate family comfort food. The familiar flavors will draw even the pickiest eaters in, and that crispy potato topper will have them coming back for seconds. Lay out some enticing garnishes and everyone can choose their own flavor adventure when it comes to topping their taco pie!

Steak Fajitas with Chimichurri Avocados

Bursting with fresh citrus and vivacious, creamy chimichurri avocados, these are not your average fajitas. Flank steak is a fantastic cut of meat for this recipe, falling somewhere between a marinating and a grilling steak. While marinating helps to bring flavor, it’s not what actually impacts the tenderness of the steak as much as you think it does. Slicing it thinly across the grain is what will yield the most tender morsels of grilled steak.

Skillet Lasagna

I often steer clear of making lasagna because it seems so labor- intensive, which is a shame, as I’ve never met a lasagna I didn’t like. But when it’s easy to make—coming together in less than 45 minutes—but still gives all the comfort food feels and satisfaction you want from a lasagna, I like it even more. I love the hearty flavor of beef in this recipe, but feel free to swap it for Italian sausage, veggie ground round, or ground turkey. A rewarding meal to come in to after splitting the firewood.
