A quicker veal osso buco
View allThis take on the Italian stew uses veal cubes instead of shanks to cut the cook time in half. Recipe by Lisa of Jersey Girl Cooks: Preheat oven to 350 F. In a medium bowl, season 2 lb veal stew meat with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Sprinkle over 1/4 c flour and toss to coat. Warm 2 tbsp olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, then add veal pieces and sear, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate. Lower heat to medium and pour 1 c rose wine and 2 c beef broth into pot, scraping up bits on bottom. Fold in 3 chopped carrots, 1 minced shallot, 2 cloves minced garlic, a 14 oz can of diced tomatoes, 2 bay leaves, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, and 2 tbsp chopped parsley. Return veal the pot, bring to a simmer, cover, and place in oven. Cook until veal is very tender, about 90 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp chopped parsley, 1 clove minced garlic, and zest of 1 lemon. Divide finished stew between bowls and top with the herb mixture.

How To: Make Perfect Lamb Chops
View allPreheat oven to 375 F. Pat dry lamb chops with a paper towel. If you have time, season your chops with salt and pepper at least 20 mins before cooking. Otherwise, season right before. Get your pan very, very hot (use cast iron if you can). Add a very thin layer of oil and add chops. Sear until nicely browned on bottom and meat releases from pan, about 90 secs, then flip and repeat on other side. Transfer to a sheet and roast in oven to desired doneness, about 5 mins for med (if your pan is ovenproof, you can leave the chops in there and roast them in the pan).

Winter Warmers: Beef Bourguignon
View allThis French stew is perhaps the classiest way to do comfort food. It's perfect for making on a day spent indoors avoiding the chilly weather: Preheat oven to 350. Pat dry 3 lb beef chuck cubes. Season all over with 2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Let rest 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a heavy pot over medium low, heat 1 tbsp oil. Add 8 oz bacon, cut into pieces. Cook until crispy. Remove from pot with a slotted spoon. Increase heat to medium and cook beef in a single layer in rendered fat until well-browned all over, turning occasionally. Remove from pot once done. Cut 4 peeled carrots into 1 1/2 inch pieces. Dice 1 onion. Mince 2 cloves garlic. Add onion, carrots, and a pinch of salt to pot and cook, stirring, until softened, 7-10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium low and stir in garlic and 1 tsp tomato paste. Cook 1 minute. Stir in 2 tbsp flour and cook 1 minute more. Return beef and juices to pot, along with half of bacon, 1 thyme sprig, 1 bay leaf, and 1 bottle red wine. Cover pot and transfer to oven. Cook 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, in a large pan over medium heat, heat 1 tbsp oil. Add 8 oz mushrooms, 8 oz trimmed pearl onions, 1/2 tsp sugar, salt and pepper. Pour in 1/2 c water. Cover pan and cook 10 minutes. Remove lid and continue cooking until liquid is mostly evaporated. Stir mushrooms, onions, and remaining bacon into stew once it's done cooking. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve. Brought to you by Beef Checkoff.

Hot Honey Chicken with Veggies
View allTaking a versatile protein, in-season veg, and your favorite sauce or seasoning is a no-fail formula for a quick weeknight meal. Right now, we're digging chicken marinated in Mother In Law's gochujang chile paste and honey, baked with some blistered tomatoes and kale. Or, you can throw your chicken on the grill and add the sauce after (to avoid burning).
