Top blade steaks (also called blade or flatiron steaks) are our first choice, but any boneless roast from the chuck will work. If you end up using a chuck roast, look for the chuck eye roast, an especially flavorful cut that can easily be trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces. Buttered egg noodles or mashed potatoes make excellent accompaniments to carbonnade. The traditional copper-colored Belgian ale works best in this stew. If you can’t find one, choose another dark or amber-colored ale of your liking.

Marsala wine comes in several varieties. The sweet variety works best for this recipe.

To prevent the chops from curling, cut 2 slits about 2 inches apart through the fat around the outside of each raw chop.

WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS:
To ensure that our Grilled Thin-Cut Pork Chops would brown quickly, we partially froze them to eliminate excess moisture from the exterior. Salting them first prevented them from drying out and allowed us to skip brining. A combination of softened butter and brown sugar spread over the chops resulted in a golden-brown crust when they came off the grill.

Duck with Orange Sauce Recipe with Duck Legs, Red Wine, Orange Juice, Honey, Butter & Stock.

The classic Italian dish Lasagna (Lasagne as the Italians would insist), is a rich and flavoursome meal that uses fresh and wholesome ingredients helping it become a family favourite over the years.

Serve immediately in hot dishes or on heated plates. This dish can be frozen, but the potatoes do not freeze well. To reheat, defrost thoroughly and then place in a saucepan, bring to the boil, cover and reduce the heat to a simmer, simmer for at least 25 minutes or until piping hot. Serve with mashed potatoes.

Full-size spareribs are fatty, plus they’re too large to fit on the grill. If you can’t find St. Louis-cut spareribs (which have been trimmed of the brisket bone and surrounding meat), substitute baby back ribs and begin to check for doneness after 1 hour on the grill. Cover the edges of the ribs loosely with foil if they begin to burn while grilling.

A pan sauce can be made while the steaks rest after cooking (see related recipes); if you intend to make a sauce, make sure to prepare all of the sauce ingredients before cooking the steaks. To serve two instead of four, use a 10-inch skillet to cook a 1-pound steak and halve the sauce ingredients. Bear in mind that even those tasters who usually prefer rare beef preferred these steaks cooked medium-rare or medium because the texture is firmer and not quite so chewy.
