Weeknight dinner for two
Grilled Hawaiian Beef Kabobs
Beef kabobs are a great grill option when you have a gathering – the work can all be done in advance, the grilling is fuss-free and the serving is simple. This recipe for Grilled Hawaiian Beef Kabobs makes lots of extra sauce that's nice for dipping.
Chili Lime Steak with Cilantro Rice and Watermelon Salad
Peppery arugula and juicy watermelon salad add a pop of fresh to steak and whole grain rice dinner. A modest serving of beef provides 90% DV of your vitamin D daily needs. Absorption of the non-heme iron from the rice and arugula is enhanced by 150% by including meat in the meal.
Grilled Steak with Barley Salad
Barley has a unique chewy texture and nutty flavour. Cooking barley is easy and can be ready in under 30 minutes. This recipe is super speedy if you are using leftover steak or roast beef – a tip: cook an extra steak when you barbecue for a meal short-cut at the ready. Barley can also be cooked ahead, cooled and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months – another short-cut for speedy cooking.
Pan-Seared Steak Salad with Strawberries and Blue Cheese
This healthy salad is a huge blast of summer colour! Perfect for a simple weeknight dinner for two, this is a delicious choice for a mid-summer meal on the deck. If you don’t have strawberries on hand, substitute any summer fruit such as blueberries, cherries or sliced peaches.
Baked Scotch Eggs
These are big, meaty and delicious. Enjoy them as a meal with steamed veggies or a side salad. Don’t forget to serve with some pickles and dipping sauce.
Beef Stroganoff Open-Faced Sandwiches
Who doesn’t love beef stroganoff? How about a simple weeknight dinner for two that packs all the flavour, but is on the table in a lot less time? Delicious ground beef smothered in a sour cream mushroom gravy is the perfect solution!
Doubled-Up Simple Beef and Spinach Soup
What the heck is stoup? Well, it’s somewhere between soup and stew with extra-thick broth and chunky veggies. Everyone loves one-pot meals and nothing makes a person happier than a warm bowl of nourishing beefy goodness! NOTE: this recipe makes a big batch for just two, so there will be extras for another meal (see Tip).
Korean-Style Pan-Fried Steak Strips
These Korean-style seasoned steaks strips are delicious all on their own over steamed rice, or tucked in big romaine lettuce leaves for wrapping and munching, taco-style. Steamed broccoli makes a nice side dish.
Patty Melts
Patty melts are hearty sandwiches that are pure comfort food. The juicy ground beef patty is tasty on its own and the slow-cooked caramelized onions give it even more crave-worthy flavour. Serve with a crispy side salad and your favourite grilled cheese accompaniments.
Personal Taco Pizzas
These personal-sized taco pizzas are easy, crispy and delicious! Another bonus is that each person can choose their own toppings!
Steak Hash
Time to clean out the fridge! Everyone has one red pepper, a lonely zucchini or other random vegetable(s) on hand and some leftover steak or roast from a dinner on the weekend. They’re all just waiting to come together into this delicious and healthy recipe for two!
Skillet Beef Gnocchi
It’s easy to turn store-bought potato gnocchi into pillows of goodness with this simple and speedy dish. And the bonus… this makes 4 portions and the welcome leftovers are delicious reheated for lunch another day!
Speedy Gyro Beef Salad
If you love a classic Greek gyro, you’re going to love this speedy weeknight dinner for two! The star of the show is the delicious ground beef that is combined with gyro must-haves: feta cheese, tomato, Greek olives and cucumber dressing. The same great restaurant flavours, fast and easy at home!
Micro Meat Loaf
In this recipe the title “Micro” does mean small, however this meatloaf is also cooked in the microwave! The microwave is an amazing time-saving tool in the kitchen for steaming veggies, melting chocolate, and, in this case, baking personal-size meat loaves for 2.
