Garlic-Studded Sirloin Roast with Chili Pepper Crust
Since prepping for Bon Appetit, I’ve been positively swimming in homemade caramel and chocolate ganache. What better way to recover than by roasting a big ole hunk of meat? Exactly. So, this meat will melt your face off. It’s hot. It’s spicy. It’s LOADED with garlic.
Chili Garlic Beef Ribs
This recipe is so easy, it’s kind of like cheating. I’m OK with that, though. (I’m all for fancy sauces and complicated meals. But there’s a definite time and a place for dishes like this.) It takes no time to slap together—then your oven does all the hard work.
Steakhouse-Style Pan-Roasted Sirloin Steaks
If you go to any of the big steakhouses in the U.S., chances are that this is how they cook a lot of their meat.

The Angry Chef’s Spicy Buffalo Burgers with Cumin-Dusted Grilled Zucchini
Nothing says summer like burgers on the barbecue. This twist on standard grilled fare is made with ground buffalo—a healthier and higher protein alternative to beef—and is loaded with spicy, Asian flavors.

Porcini-Encrusted Filet Mignon
These days, we don’t eat filet mignon that often. Filet is fabulous because it’s really tender. But honestly? We usually prefer the beefy flavor of slightly sturdier cuts like sirloin.

Rib of the Week: Short Ribs Braised in Red Wine
This is my take on classic boeuf Bourguignon, a traditional French dish of beef braised in Burgundy wine, then garnished with mushrooms and small white onions. (Wine not your thing?
