More Main-Course Salads

Salads—once relegated to the side of the plate—have moved to the center. A hearty, protein-packed salad makes a great meal any time of day, and it’s a great way to increase your intake of vegetables and leafy greens, as well as pack a nutrient-dense set of ingredients onto your plate. In this course, you will see that these salads aren’t just about the vegetables: you’ll learn how to prepare ingredients like chicken, steak, and plant-based proteins to add heft to your meal, plus you’ll see how we layer ingredients to add complex flavor and texture. You’ll also learn how to make your salads more interesting by incorporating bright, complex dressings and crisp or crunchy toppings. You will prepare recipes for Steak Salad with Carrot-Ginger Vinaigrette, Hearty Salad with Chickpeas and Halloumi, and Lemony Salmon and Roasted Beet Salad. With a combination of flavors, textures, and colors, you’ll find that salads never looked or tasted so good!

Ultimate Apple-Cranberry Pie

This beautiful pie replaces some of the apple filling with a layer of cooked, sweetened cranberries. This recipe uses the pie dough from the Foolproof Pie Dough recipe. If you haven’t already done so, you’ll need to make the pie dough. To keep the cranberries from overwhelming the apples, we actually create two fillings and layer them into the pie shell one on top of the other for a stunning final presentation. As with our Deep-Dish Apple Pie, we found it best to precook the apples. Since we needed to cook the cranberry filling as well, we decide to simplify the apple filling a bit. We found we could handle the smaller quantity of apples used in this recipe in the microwave. And to skip the tedious draining step, we added a bit of cornstarch. Finally, we found that all sweet apples were a good foil to the tart cranberry layer. To simplify work on this project recipe, you can prepare the two fillings in advance and keep them in separate containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Likewise, the dough can be made in advance, so that all you need to do on serving day is roll out the dough, assemble the pie, and bake.

Slow-Roasted Beef

Roast beef is a familiar recipe most cooks get wrong. Most recipes rely on a hot oven and the result is a tough, dry roast. In the test kitchen, we’ve developed a unique method that can turn a chewy, tough cut of cheap beef into a succulent and tender centerpiece for the dinner table. Our recipe is very simple and straightforward, and mostly hands-off. The technique requires a very low oven (225 degrees) to promote the enzymatic breakdown of the muscle fibers within the beef. That breakdown will only happen when the internal temperature of the beef is below 122 degrees. To extend the maximum amount of tenderizing time, we allow the meat to sit in a turned-off oven while it comes up to the desired serving temperature. Once you master this recipe, you’ll find that other cuts of beef, from top sirloin to the ubiquitous holiday prime rib, also benefit from slow-roasting.
