Pan-Grilled Beer-Marinated Hanger SteakNoel Barnhurst
What to drink: Stick with beer — choose a dark, medium-bodied lager with a hint of sweetness, like Shiner Bock from Shiner, Texas ($6 per six-pack).
A pinch of sugar in the spice rub ensures picture-perfect grill marks with layers of flavor.
An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
This dish is not only a quick meal option but also a practical way to use leftover phở noodles when you’re out of broth.
An espresso-and-cumin-spiked rub (or brine) gives this smoked chicken impressive flavor.
Crème de violette is an exuberantly floral violet liqueur that gives vibrant color to this fun frozen cocktail.
Frozen into a slushy, the classic tequila and grapefruit cocktail becomes even more refreshing.
Just like the state fair, minus the crowds.
Every sauce needs a few secrets. Ours is smoky, sweet, and savory—use it for burgers, fries, tenders, and more.
