Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 2

Ingredients

For relish

1 1/2 cups diced seeded cucumber
3 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped jalapeño chili, or to taste (wear rubber gloves)
1/4 cup plain yogurt
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
two 1-inch-thick rib-eye steaks at room temperature
freshly ground black pepper

  1. Step 1

    Prepare grill.

  2. Make relish:

    Step 2

    In a bowl combine all ingredients with salt to taste.

Stir-Fried Phở Noodles With Beef
This dish is not only a quick meal option but also a practical way to use leftover phở noodles when you’re out of broth.
Sofrito Bolognese
An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
Tomatoes With Curry Yogurt
Best served chilled.

Smothered Italian Sausage
This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.
