| 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  Pesto alla Trapanese (Sicilian Pesto With Almonds and Tomatoes) Believe it or not, pink pesto actually has a lot in common with its better-known green cousin. It's also full of basil, garlic, olive oil, and cheese. But the addition of tomatoes and the use of almonds instead of pine nuts make it one of a kind. TUESDAY  Grilled Strip Steak With Creamy Yogurt Sauce and Tomato-Cucumber Salad Sometimes when you want the perfect cut of steak, you've got to do it yourself. For this recipe, we cut New York strip steaks in half crosswise before putting them on the grill. And, to make it a meal with just the right balance of hearty and light, we serve the steak with a yogurt sauce and a crunchy tomato-and-cucumber salad. WEDNESDAY  Steak and Corn Salad With Salsa Verde Turn last night's leftover steak into a refreshing and satisfying salad by slicing it up and pairing it with corn and Spanish salsa verde. Simply toss the sliced meat with steamed or grilled corn, red onion, and the salsa, which is a mixture of pickles, capers, anchovies, fresh herbs, and lots of olive oil. THURSDAY  Chicken Massaman Curry With Wheat Beer and Potatoes Skip the heat and keep the spice with this chicken massaman curry. To make this warm and flavorful dish, the curry paste is mixed with Belgian-style beer and stock to make a base for the other ingredients: coconut milk, chicken, potatoes, and red onions. Serve it over rice, and garnish with cilantro and lime slices. FRIDAY  If you've ever had the Tibetan beef dumplings known as momo, you'll probably like these inspired beef burgers, which are seasoned with Sichuan peppercorn and topped with chili-ginger mayo and pickles. Conversely, if you like these (and we bet you will), you should probably try momo. Your Weekend Project Ah, the weekend. Visions of time-consuming kitchen endeavors have been 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.  A few simple steps make this pulled pork stand out—and a worthy candidate for your time. First off, ditch the bottled BBQ sauce and go the homemade route. From there, be careful to moderate your addition of the sauce to get meat that's neither too wet nor too dry. Finally, be patient as it cooks to tender perfection in a Dutch oven. It'll be worth the wait.
