Going to a steakhouse right now for a good steak dinner can be tricky. So, we wanted to bring the steakhouse home to you with our best steak recipes. We've got something for everyone, whether you're looking for easy classic dinner ideas featuring steak, or want to try various types of steak and aren't sure where to start. These beefy recipes include rib eye dishes, flank steak meals, marinated hanger steaks, steak kebab ideas, sizzling sirloins, and more.

Martha Stewart's Balsamic-Marinated Hanger Steak

Along with flank steak, hanger has big flavor at a lower price point than a high-end cut. It just takes a few hours of marinating to get it ready for the grill. A basic marinade like this one has three components: an acid, an oil, and seasonings. We chose balsamic vinegar for its mellow sweetness, and fresh garlic and plenty of cracked black pepper for a kick.

Porcini-Rubbed Rib Eye Steak with Oven-Dried Tomatoes and Arugula

Chef David Burtka keeps a jar of the porcini rub on hand to make this steak. "Everyone goes crazy for it because of those layers of flavor," he says. "The earthiness of the porcini, the spice of the chile flakes and the sweetness of the sugar—it's all in there." You can find balsamic reduction, sometimes labeled "balsamic glaze," with vinegar in the supermarket. To make your own: In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup balsamic vinegar to a boil; cook 5 minutes or until syrupy and reduced by about half.

Marinated Flank Steak

This marinated flank steak offers up tasty flavors thanks to teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, and garlic. For those who are looking for a medium to well-done steak, simply broil 1-2 minutes longer on each side.

Gordon Ramsay's Steak With Rosemary Chimichurri

Chef Gordon Ramsay's show-stopping steak is everything you want for your summer grilling lineup: juicy, full of flavor—and super simple to make. His take on the Argentine-style chimichurri sauce is full of summery herbs and adds a bright counterpoint to the juicy, tender skirt steak (you can sub flank steak, too).

Slow Cooker Swiss Steak

I think every family has their own definition of what "Swiss Steak" is to them, but growing up, my dad would tenderize steak, roll it in flour, pan fry it, then finish it with gravy. The Swiss-style part comes into play by essentially just rolling or pounding the meat before braising it and your slow cooker will take care of the braising for you. Plus, with all the peppers, onions, tomatoes, mushrooms and seasonings floating around in there, this Swiss Steak recipe is loaded with delicious flavor!

Marinating the Asian flavors overnight enhances their sweet and pungent appeal. Scrape marinade bits off the meat before grilling, so they won't char.

Herb-Marinated Steak

This herb-marinated steak tastes amazing with onion, parsley, vinegar, oil, mustard, and garlic flavors. If you prefer, grill this flavorful steak instead of broiling it.

Grilled sirloin can easily be "re-purposed" into a completely different meal. Roll it up in pizza dough, then top with crisp cooked bell peppers and onions, and of course, gooey cheese. While the stromboli bakes, prepare a salad filled with your choice of leafy greens and fresh crispy vegetables and you can have a perfect pairing on the table in around 30 minutes.

10 Best Chicken Tenders Recipes - Ideas for Chicken Tenders - Country Living

baked coconut tenders with strawberry mango salsa

Brian Woodcock

Whether you call them tenders, fingers, nuggets, or strips (it turns out there are subtle differences), no one can deny that breaded boneless chicken makes for a delicious and comforting finger food. What's less well known, however, is that they're not just dinner ideas for kids. Chicken tenders are easy to make at home, cook quickly, and can be paired with all kinds of grown-up flavor profiles for a satisfying meal that is both easy to eat and incredibly happy-making.

Looking for chicken recipes to make at home? Forget the deep fryer. With a light breading and a baking rack to let air circulate (or use our air fryer tips), you can make tenders that are just as crispy and, well, tender as what you'd find in a restaurant, but that are a lot less greasy, and without the mess that comes from having to deal with all that oil.

But the real reason to go homemade is because you get to spice them any way you want. If restaurant chicken tenders all tend to be rather bland, homemade tenders can sing with all kinds of flavor. Looking for tropical flavor? Use coconut flakes and whip up a fruit salsa. Rather go Tex-Mex? Roll your chicken in tortilla chips and chili powder. Looking for something a little more Pan-Asian? Try 5-spice powder and sesame seeds. Below, find recipes for all those, plus more. Once you see how easy (and delicious) homemade chicken tenders can be, you may never want to order them at a restaurant again.

Grocery store junk food dinner ideas that satisfy cravings without cooking - CNN

Posted: 24 Jul 2020 12:00 AM PDT

Of course, you know a kale salad topped with a healthy protein and loaded with veggies is what you should be eating for dinner tonight. But as the Covid-19 pandemic still has us socially isolated, concerned about the health of our loved ones and worrying about cutting expenses to stay financially stable in these uncertain times, what we want is something affordable — and preferably cheesy — that can pretty much cook itself.

Stress makes us want junk food

Market research company IRI Worldwide reported in April that frozen food spending was up 31% over a year ago, while packaged food purchases were up 21%. Dr. Alison Mitzner, a family wellness expert, says — no surprise here — stress can lead to emotional eating.

"Stress also causes an increase in hormones such as cortisol, which can in turn increase cravings for sugar, salt and fatty foods," she says. "Also, in times of stress, many people eat comfort foods and have unhealthier food cravings, as they are often associated with positive memories such as holidays."

In fact, according to a 2015 Harris Poll, 67% of Americans say they turn to comfort food as a pick-me-up. Their faves? Pizza, followed by chocolate and ice cream tying for second and mac and cheese coming in third. And a study from Cornell Food and Brand Lab found when an environment is cluttered and chaotic, it can lead to choosing more indulgent food. So, we're bound to cave to cravings occasionally, and especially during times like these.

Should the urge for those frozen pizzas, lasagnas or pot pies you gobbled down as a kid suddenly strike, just remember moderation is key. Mitzner says, "It is normal and OK to want the occasional extra snack or unhealthier option, but you don't want it to become a way to deal with your emotions or a way to cope."

Sure, we try to fill our virtual grocery carts with mostly healthy options, but here are a few frozen comfort foods we're not ashamed to admit to snagging as well. All in moderation, of course.

18 frozen junk food dinners we're craving

Peanut butter and jelly. Bacon and eggs. Macaroni and cheese. We'll take the latter when it comes to the world's greatest food pairings. We're not alone: A 2018 survey by Annie's found one-third of Americans say mac and cheese is their go-to comfort food. But how do you eat the dish? Of those polled, 71% of Americans use a fork, while 25% use a spoon. One thing not up for dispute: This bowl of comfort is delicious no matter which utensil you use.

Popular since the 1950s, fish sticks are generally made from cod, then battered, deep-fried and frozen. "They are especially popular with children, who eat them with ketchup, tartar sauce or other flavorful dips," writes Sherri Machlin in "American Food by the Decades." She goes on to write that parents love the food because it saves time and their kids devour them. "In fact, children who do not like to eat fish usually like fish sticks." Was she spying on our childhood?
