Dinner Recipe: Steak Fried Rice
Servings: 4
Food Network ~ Step by Step
Slash cooking time by opting for a frozen grain-and-rice blend as the base.
Recipe by: Food Network Magazine
-
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 12 ounces sirloin steak, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch-thick pieces
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 1 leek (white and light green parts only), thinly sliced and well rinsed
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and minced
- 2 cups frozen grain-and-rice blend, thawed
- 2 cups sugar snap peas, halved
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Whisk the eggs with 1 tablespoon water and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Pour into the skillet and stir a few times with a rubber spatula to spread. Cook, undisturbed, until just set, about 2 minutes. Fold into thirds like an omelet and transfer to a plate.
- Wipe out the skillet and heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over high heat. Season the steak with salt and pepper. Add to the skillet and cook, stirring, until the meat just starts browning, about 3 minutes. Transfer the steak to a bowl and set aside. Wipe out the skillet and heat the remaining 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons vegetable oil. Add the carrots, celery and leek and stir-fry until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry until just softened, about 2 minutes. Add the rice blend and stir-fry until warmed through, about 2 minutes.
- Pour off any collected juices from the steak; add the steak to the skillet along with the peas and soy sauce. Stir-fry until the peas are tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Slice the eggs into strips; stir into the rice.

Dessert Recipe: Pink Lemonade Tart
Servings: 8
Food Network Magazine ~ Step by Step
Combining homemade lemon curd with a fresh strawberry puree gives this tart its beautiful pinky-orange hue and delicious flavor.
Recipe by: Food Network Magazine
-
Ingredients:
- For the shortbread crust: Position an oven rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch tart pan with cooking spray.
- Add the flour, butter and confectioners' sugar to a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal with some pea-size pieces. Add the egg and pulse until the dough comes together.
- Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared tart pan. Prick the dough all over with a fork. Bake until the crust is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool slightly on a rack while you make the filling.
- For the lemon curd: Meanwhile, whisk the lemon juice, granulated sugar, milk, whole eggs and yolks in a medium saucepan over medium heat until well combined. Add the butter and cook, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, 10 to 12 minutes. Strain the curd if any lumps form; set aside.
- For the strawberry puree. Blend the strawberries in a blender until fully pureed. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh strainer into a small saucepan to remove the seeds. Add the granulated sugar and lemon juice, bring to simmer and simmer, stirring often, until the puree is syrupy and yields about 1/4 cup, about 15 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- Add the strawberry puree to the lemon curd and mix until fully combined. Pour into the cooled crust and smooth with a spatula. Bake until the curd is set, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool slightly on a rack, about 30 minutes, then refrigerate, uncovered, until completely cool, about 2 hours.
- For the meringue: Fit a metal bowl over a pot with about an inch of simmering water (make sure the bowl does not touch the water). Put the granulated sugar, cream of tartar and egg whites into the bowl and hand whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved and the whites are warm to the touch, 3 to 3 1/2 minutes. Test the mixture by rubbing it between your fingers to make sure it's not grainy. Transfer to a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, add the vanilla extract and whip, starting on a low speed and gradually increasing to high, until the mixture forms stiff, glossy peaks, about 4 minutes. Transfer the meringue to 2 piping bags fitted with different-size star tips. Pipe the meringue in a decorative pattern on top of the tart, leaving some of the pink filling showing.
- To serve: position an oven rack in the top position and preheat the oven to broil. Broil the tart until the meringue is toasted, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Garnish with curled strips of lemon zest.

Cook’s Note:
When measuring flour, we spoon it into a dry measuring cup and level off the excess. (Scooping directly from the bag compacts the flour, resulting in dry baked goods.)
