The idea for using filet mignon for this classic Vietnamese dish comes from The Slanted Door in San Francisco: cubed, tender beef, stir-fried briefly in a hot pan, before adding the ingredients to form a simple, flavorful sauce.

Feel free to tweak this with other spices, a little less honey, more salt—it’s quite forgiving, and customizing your own blend is the fun of making your own.

Super simple and incredible flavorful, these one-bite stuffed pepper appetizers are very addictive. If you can’t find the Spanish marcona almonds in your supermarket or specialty food store, simply roast raw, skinned almonds with a little olive oil and coarse salt until golden.

Roasted green chiles and Monterey Jack cheese give twice-stuffed potatoes a Southwestern twist. Serve them as part of a meal, with Pork Tenderloin with Salsa Verde and a simple Mixed Greens Salad.

For more cool milkshakes, check out our Chai Frozen Milkshakes, Stout Chocolate Malt, and Guinness Milkshake.

This beer batter coating is light, crunchy, and flavorful, making it perfect for frying fish. If you’d prefer not to use beer, you can substitute club soda. Up to a day ahead of time, make our Dijon Tartar Sauce. Right before frying the fish, cook up a batch of our British-Style Chips.

This recipe is presented by Eggland’s Best. Italy mingles with the Deep South for this two-stepping twist on the traditional breakfast sandwich.
