Easy Sheet Pan Fajitas can be prepped up to a day ahead and refrigerated, or quickly marinated at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking. They cook in about 20 minutes and make a great weeknight meal. Our recipe includes a homemade fajita spice blend, but you could substitute 2 tablespoons of a prepared fajita rub or seasoning packet. Jalapeños are optional, but add a nice heat level to the marinade and finished fajitas.

Smoked Short Ribs are transformed into delicious homemade enchiladas with roasted poblano and tomatillo green sauce, and stuffed with cheese and roasted peppers. They can be prepped in advance and baked just before serving. This is a great way to use cooked short ribs for a family meal.

BACON-WRAPPED WAGYU MEATLOAF
Snake River Farms American Wagyu ground beef really brings up the flavor on this classic dish. This meatloaf is best cooked the day before serving, allowing it time to set up. If time allows, I recommend making the meatloaf two days in advance, so all the flavors meld and mix. Then bake the next day and serve the following day.
Meatloaf is so versatile. You can serve it with tomato base accompaniments (can you say ketchup?) for a traditional presentation. I love it just sliced cold on a sandwich. Change it up and serve with a throwback 80s mushroom sauce or lighten it up with a springtime quick dilly gravy sauce. I like to serve this with pickles or a fresh À la minute shaved fennel salad with lemon juice, olive oil and parmesan. -

You really want to let the braised beef be the star of the show.
Pro tip: Save time on game day and braise the beef the day before. When it’s time to serve, reheat the meat in its juices.

Sticky Beef with Broccoli & Steamed Rice
I always have a good selection of condiments in the fridge ready to use and enhance any weeknight dinner. I often laugh when I open my fridge as 80 percent of my items are condiments!
My go-to condiment is chili garlic sauce. You can either make this from scratch using red chili flakes, sesame oil, minced garlic and red chili flakes or you can purchase at the store. I find there are a lot of good options on the shelf.
I tend to make a lot of quick Asian inspired dishes at home and like to brighten them up with fresh vegetables and lots of herbs.
HOW TO GET THE RIGHT CONSISTENCY FOR STICKY BEEF SAUCE
One of the key elements of a good sticky beef dish is ensuring the sauce is, in fact, sticky. It’s right there in the name!
Flour, cornstarch, and water are all used to help thicken sauces. Our favorite option is using cornstarch because it won’t make your sauce look cloudy. It is also a wonderful gluten-free alternative to flour. In this sticky beef recipe, you will notice the inclusion of 1 cup of corn starch, which is in equal part to our liquid of ½ cup of water and ½ of soy sauce.
When the mixture begins to bubble, lower your heat and simmer the sauce for approximately five minutes. The sauce should reduce by about half, creating a lovely, sticky glaze for your Asian sticky beeftenderloin pieces.
If you find the sauce to thin or too thick to your liking, it’s incredibly easy to adjust on the fly.
Finding your preferred sauce consistency is simply a matter of increasing the thickening agent (cornstarch) or thinning agent (water).
Taste testing for the right sauce viscosity can be intimidating, but by making small adjustments at a time, you can find the balance to your stick asian beef.
To decide if your sauce is the proper consistency, use the spoon test. Simply dip a spoon in the sticky beef sauce and if it coats the back of the spoon, you can assume it will coat the beef and broccoli, as well.
