  • Adapted from The New York Times Ingredients: 1 1/2 pounds skirt steak 1 tbsp nam pla (Thai fish sauce) 1 tsp sugar 1 small Thai chili, stemmed and seeded 2 tbsps fresh lime juice 2 tsps chopped garlic, or to taste 2 medium shallots, chopped 1/2 cup mint leaves, finely chopped 1/2 cup cilantro, finely…

  • I’ve watched the boy make this stuffed flank steak for me before. When I wanted to try it at home, I called him for the recipe. All I got was, “Stuff it, roll it, fry it.” Simple instructions for a meal that looks like a hundred bucks. I used everything I found in my fridge…

  • Adapted from Marcus Samuelsson, Aquavit Restaurant Ingredients: For the meatballs: 3/4 pound ground beef 3/4 pound ground pork 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs 1/4 cup heavy cream 1 medium red onion, finely chopped 2 tbsps honey 1 egg 3 tbsps unsalted butter salt, pepper, olive oil For the sauce: 1 cup chicken stock 1/2 cup…

  • This is my basic recipe for making meatballs at home using either ground pork, beef or lamb. Depending on the dish I am using the meatballs for, I add breadcrumbs and an egg to make sure they remain intact when added.

If you can’t find dried herbes de Provence, you can make your own with some dried basil, dried thyme and fennel seeds. A full-bodied Cabernet will also do if you don’t have a red Zinfandel. The original recipe called…

Ingredients: 2 pounds of beef spareribs, cut into individual ribs, excess fat removed 1 Napa cabbage,…

  • I adapted this recipe from an issue of Saveur Magazine. The flank is the underside of a cow’s belly. It’s a bit more chewy than the sirloin right above it, but it has a great beefy flavor for a cheap cut of beef. Marinating it for a couple of hours or even overnight makes it…

  • I watched the boy make his own kalbi marinade for a barbeque party once. It’s so involved, that’s why people usually just buy it in a jar. Kalbi, or galbi, as some Koreans spell it, is really just short beef ribs cut across the bone. You can even leave them uncut but they’re easier to…
