This flank steak is rubbed with chili for heat, sugar for sweetness, coffee for bitterness, pepper for spice, and salt. Together, with the char of a hot grill, the result is a juicy sliced steak with a complex and flavorful crust. More
After a first attempt at Korean barbecue with Daeji Bulgogi, it became clear that most of you thought galbi is where it's really at. Naturally, I had to give it a go and after trying some of that sweet, salty, and incredibly beefy short ribs, I'm now totally on the Galbi bandwagon. More
Loaded with beans and vegetables, each sizable serving also contained about two or three ounces of hearty meat—enough to get some with every bite, but not so much I felt like I was eating a burger. The spice was dead-on, as well. A combination of chili powder, diced jalapeño pepper, and hot Italian turkey sausage punched everything up without overwhelming the other flavors. I served the dish with cornbread muffins, the way nature intended. More
Over the summer, I raved about a batch of keftedes, the Greek meatballs, I had put together. I didn't think they could get much better, but alas, I was wrong. When you stuff that tasty Greek meat mixture with some feta cheese and grill it, the awesomeness meter totally cranks up, plus they get a new name—bifteki. More
This recipe for Beef Jerky wasn't exactly what I had in mind when I did my shopping for the week, but seeing the thin slices of grass-fed top round laid out behind glass I knew that it was meant to be. The recipe is adapted from Homesick Texan, a blog that celebrates the foods of Texas in New York. The meat is partially frozen for ease of slicing and then marinated in a mix of Worcestershire, garlic, and chiles overnight for maximum jerky flavor. The strips are then laid out on a baking sheet and dried in the oven for a few hours to reach that perfect chewy-snappy texture. More
Unlike Indian curries, which rely on dried spices toasted in oil or clarified butter for flavor, curries from Thailand use wet pastes simmered in coconut milk. Panang is an orange-red Thai curry paste. It's milder than most other Thai curries, but its flavors are more similar to Thai red curry paste (which is spicier than the yellow and green varieties).

When Dorie Greenspan, author of Around My French Table says this version of Beef Daube is her go-to recipe for the French classic, there's really no doubt in my mind that it's going to be incredible. Luckily, the cool temperatures over the weekend made this beef stew a perfect way to dive into fall and winter braises. More
I've been taking something of a Thai break. I exhausted the overly sweet noodle dishes a few years ago and figured it just wasn't my thing. But I've found my way back in through Thai salads. The mix of extreme spice, acid, fat, and sour is completely addicting, especially during the warm summer months. I've been looking for a good Thai beef salad, and was intrigued by this one from NPR.
