Your Next Weeknight Meal Plan (And Weekend Cooking Project!)

What to Cook Next Week No Images? Click here   After a busy day, the last thing you want to do is spend hours in the kitchen pulling dinner together. Luckily, we have a wealth of delicious weeknight meals that will have you in and out of the kitchen in one hour or less. Meet our weekly dinner plan: Five easy dinners for five busy weeknights, all sent in advance so you can get your shopping done ahead of time. Cook along with us!   Your Week Ahead MONDAY Easy One-Pot Chicken Bouillabaisse The key to building up great flavor in under 30 minutes is to layer ingredients, adding each one at the right time to best impact the final product. Feel free to use other chicken parts instead of legs if you prefer, just adjust the browning time as needed.   TUESDAY Easy Stir-Fried Beef With Mushrooms and Butter The combination of soy sauce and butter is quickly becoming a favorite both in Asia and the US. One of our favorite ways to combine them? In a stir-fry, like this simple recipe with marinated flank steak, stir-fried with mushrooms. WEDNESDAY Mayo-Free Mediterranean Tuna Salad Sandwiches This mayo-free tuna salad is loaded with Mediterranean flavors—including plenty of fresh olive oil, capers, olives, fennel, celery, and a splash of lemon—while fish sauce or minced anchovy adds a subtle savory hit. THURSDAY Warm Kale and Caramelized Mushroom Salad Mushrooms are incredibly versatile. Here, we sauté them until deeply golden brown, and then pair their savory flavor with hearty kale leaves and a nutty sherry vinegar dressing. It's an easy vegetarian meal in a bowl. FRIDAY Roosevelt Avenue–Style Cemita Sandwiches These are gently warmed sandwiches served on a griddled sesame bun with taco-meat fillings of your choice, avocado, lettuce, tomato, chipotles, refried beans, mayo, and queso Oaxaca. Basically, a cemita con todo, just what you need after a long week.     Your Weekend Project Ah, the weekend. Visions of time-consuming kitchen endeavors dancing in your head all week long, and finally you have the time to pursue them. But which one to choose? Let us guide your efforts with what we're taking on over the weekend.  Duck à l'Orange Duck à l'Orange, when done properly, is a big project—it involves making beef stock, roasting a duck, and preparing a sauce. But as we exit winter, we feel like it's the best way to celebrate the end of citrus season and get a delicious dinner out of the deal.     Serious Eats 88 35th St Ste 602 Brooklyn, NY 11232-2017 Click Preferences to control which emails you receive from Serious Eats.

Stir-Fried Beef and Fries: Our New Favorite Combo

Your Recipe of the Day No Images? Click here Lomo Saltado (Peruvian Stir-Fried Beef With Onion, Tomatoes, and French Fries) When Chinese immigrants arrived in Peru more than a century ago, they brought their cooking with them, and it didn't take long for a new, hybrid Chinese-Peruvian cuisine called chifa to emerge. This dish of stir-fried beef with tomatoes, onion, and French fries in a savory brown sauce is one of the most famous of the chifa tradition, cooked throughout Peru and around the world today. The secret to success is to stir-fry properly, which at home often means dividing ingredients into very small batches to guarantee that they sear instead of just steaming. For the best flavor, you'll want to toss the wok or pan over an open flame, allowing the contents to briefly catch fire, but if that makes you nervous, it's okay to avoid the pyrotechnics.
