Easy Beef Stir Fry

I’m always looking for easy weeknight meals, and this beef stir fry fits the bill nicely. Marinating the beef actually takes longer than making the dish once the beef is ready to cook. I like to take the 30 minutes while the beef is marinating to prepare my mis en place. About twenty minutes into the marinating process, I start the rice so it will be ready at the same time as the stir fry. I took a shortcut in using a frozen Asian medley vegetable blend to add to the peppers, which saved me a good amount of prep time.

Scallops with Coconut Sauce

I had an ambitious plan to make the best coconut rice that I’ve ever tasted and, unfortunately, it failed miserably. Well, the rice itself wasn’t so bad, but about half of it ended up burnt and stuck to the bottom of the pan. Oh well, I suppose I shouldn’t complain, as I’ve had pretty good luck when it comes to making rice on the stovetop. You have to expect some failures sometimes.

Noodles with Lime Peanut Sauce

I bought the new Ellie Krieger (of Food Network fame) cookbook, The Food You Crave, a few weeks ago and have earmarked at least every other recipe in the book. I’m always looking for lighter dishes for my lunches, and her recipe for Noodles with Lime Peanut Sauce was calling my name. The sugar snap peas that I had in the fridge were, unfortunately, no good by the time that I was ready to make this. I went with broccoli only, because that’s what I had, but you could probably add carrots or red peppers for a more colorful dish.

Shepherd’s pie, aka Cottage Pie, is a traditional English dish made with a ground meat and vegetable mixture covered with mashed potatoes. The traditional meat used is lamb, though it’s often substituted with ground beef in America.
