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 quick salmon dish, flavored with a garlicky za’atar dressing, proves that meals are better in bowl form. Add radishes, chickpeas, and arugula, then drizzle the dressing over it all.

Baking a single large-format tamal in a foil-covered pan set in a roasting pan of hot water produces a similarly tender texture to the corn husk–wrapped variety. The result is a moist, barely sweet cake with pudding vibes.

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.

For the diner who can never decide, this classic dish marries salsa roja and salsa verde over a bed of chicken enchiladas. A crown of queso fresco, crème fraîche, and crisp raw onions bridge the gap.

Cooked and raw brussels sprouts are matched with a rich umami dressing and a spicy nutty sauce in this surprising but winning taco.

A gingery fish sauce vinaigrette brightens every bite of these crunchy, creamy, vibrant tostadas.

We love the roasted sweet potatoes in this bowl, but any hardy vegetable would be just as delicious. Try delicata squash, cauliflower, or eggplant.

This honey-sweetened granola and rooibos-tea chia pudding are both worth making on their own, but combined with yogurt and a swirl of jam, they become a breakfast you’ll want to repeat.

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.

Parmesan and thyme make this Dutch baby decidedly savory—but the real beauty here is that the batter can be made up to two days in advance and kept in the fridge for an easy, romantic breakfast for two.

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?

Glaze citrusy, baked doughnuts with a nutty brown butter icing and sprinkle with large crunchy granules of coffee-infused sugar for a sweet bite that hits all the marks.

This frittata intentionally takes much longer than the usual version. Cooked over a low flame, the act of folding the curds over themselves again and again in the skillet creates soft layers like those found in Japanese-style omelets.

The dressing on this bowl is a green goddess 2.0, with matcha adding an earthy undertone to the whole dish.
