This week’s recipes:
Grilled Steak Tacos
(50 min, plus marinating) Citrus-marinated steak grilled hot and fast until smoky and charred, then piled into warm tortillas with sweet mango, creamy avocado, and salty feta. It tastes like a backyard celebration, and the marinade does most of the work ahead of time. Just fire up the grill when you’re ready to eat.
Crispy Pork Cutlet
(30 min) Pork pounded thin, breaded, and fried until golden and shatteringly crisp, then finished with a bright squeeze of lemon. The outside is all crunch, the inside stays juicy and tender, and a simple green salad alongside makes it feel fancier than the half hour it actually takes. An easy, satisfying dinner the whole table goes quiet for.
Pasta alla Norma
(50 min) Silky roasted eggplant folded into a rich tomato sauce with rigatoni, fresh basil, and plenty of cheese. It’s cozy and savory but still bright with summer flavor, and it’s the perfect way to use peak-season eggplant and tomatoes. Proof that a vegetarian dinner can be every bit as satisfying as the rest.
Cucumber Radish Salad with Creamy Chive Dressing
(10 min) Cool, crisp cucumber and peppery radish tossed in a creamy chive dressing. It comes together in ten minutes and adds a refreshing crunch next to anything on this list. Exactly the kind of fresh, simple side summer is made for.
