Is there anything better than a beautifully cooked steak? I love the simple flavors in this recipe—just great-quality meat paired with a garlicky herb butter. Perfect!

Recipe information

  • Yield

    2 Servings

Ingredients

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (2-pound) T-bone steak (about 1 inch thick), trimmed and at room temperature
Sea salt and cracked black pepper
6 sprigs thyme
6 cloves garlic, unpeeled

Preparation

  1. Heat the butter and oil in a large frying pan over high heat for 1–2 minutes or until the butter starts to foam. Sprinkle the steak with salt and pepper. Add the thyme, garlic and steak to the pan and cook for 4–5 minutes on each side, spooning the butter over the steak, for medium-rare or until cooked to your liking. Drizzle the steak with the butter to serve.

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.
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.
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.
Beef Stroganoff Ramen
This traditional dish of beef, sour cream, and mustard may have originated in Russia, but it’s about time for a version with ramen noodles, don’t you think?

Rather than breaded and fried as you might expect croquettes to be, these are something more akin to a seared chicken salad patty.

Berbere is a spicy chile blend that has floral and sweet notes from coriander and cardamom, and when it’s paired with a honey glaze, it sets these wings apart from anything else you’ve ever had.
