Hot Dog Burnt Ends

by | May 07, 2023 | 6 comment(s)

This checks all the boxes: family-friendly, quick-to-prep, cost-effective…and best of all, deliciously smokey. I’m not sure if it’s just food people (food writers, avid cooks… ) that go through food phases.  One example might be obsessing over a particular salad combination and making it over and over again. Or creating different variations of a similar…

Seder Night Flanken

by | March 26, 2023 | 19 comment(s)

Easy to prep and foolproof–you’ll love these slow-cooked strips of flanken. The first time I featured this recipe on my page, I received some feedback: “I thought you can’t cook meat in the oven for Seder night, it’s roasting, etc. I always thought you have to make everything on the stovetop”. To make sure, I…

How to Cook and Serve Tongue

by and | March 26, 2023 | 4 comment(s)

Using this method, you can stretch a tongue and impress your guests with an elegant start to your meal. When you prepare and serve this way, we found that one tongue is enough for 12-14 appetizers! It’ll look super impressive–but is not that hard to prepare. (Let’s just say, it’s way easier than rolling blintzes!). …

Caramelized Pearl or Cipollini Onions

by | March 23, 2023 | 7 comment(s)

This is the perfect side dish to your steaks and other meats. Steaks are one of my favorite mains to serve, especially when there’s a long Yom Tov and a lot of meals–everyone appreciates something grilled fresh (even if it’s on a grill pan) as a change from those long braised meats. There’s more about…

Flanken Roast Over Potatoes

by | March 20, 2023 | 31 comment(s)

The recipe is so easy and so good, you’ll make it over and over and will never have to look back at this recipe again! For awhile, I was obsessed with preparing another recipe on Between Carpools, this 9×13: Slow Cooked Minute Steaks and Yukon Gold by Esty Wolbe. Yes, we’d change up the cut…

This Gluten Free Beef Risotto Can Become Your New Cholent

by | November 07, 2022 | 14 comment(s)

Easier on the stomach even for those who don’t have a gluten free diet, this risotto still has the classic Shabbos taste! We got this recipe from our friend who got it from her friend, who got it from her friend who created it because she wanted a lighter cholent. While some of us were…

Crispy Onions Club Steaks

by | October 02, 2022 | 1 comment(s)

Great taste and a great meat main with a five minute prep. I’m all for making meats with some great made-from-scratch sauces, like this Amazing Flanken roast with shallot sauce.  Sometimes, though, you just need a quick recipe that uses store-bought ingredients yet still has great flavor. This recipe also works really well with short ribs….

Kosher KopyKat: Lamb Riblets with Char Siu Sauce

by | October 01, 2022 | 10 comment(s)

Lamb riblets aren’t nearly as expensive as baby lamb–but they can taste just as good if you know how to prepare them right. The first time I prepared lamb riblets, they were verifiably, a flop. I didn’t realize just how low and slow they needed to go. They were hard, and, covered by a layer…

Flanken Roast with Shallot Sauce

by | September 19, 2022 | 7 comment(s)

I’ve been making this version of Flanken Roast for almost nine years(!) and everyone still loves it. And–it happens to be absolutely perfect for Yom Tov too. Editor’s Note: While Flanken Roasts have become a super popular cut of meat, we realized that there weren’t many recipes featuring it on BCP. We have this BBQ/ketchup…
