Pressure Cooker Boneless Beef Short Rib Tacos with Dried Chile Pepper Sauce - Dad Cooks Dinner

On a busy weeknight, with the kids pulling me in different directions, I can make an elaborate dinner – shredded beef tacos with dried chile pepper sauce. All I need is ten minutes to prep the onion and peppers; after everything is in the pot, with the lid locked, I can spend the next hour doing kid taxi service around the greater Akron area. When I get home I have tender, easily shreddable meat; I whizz the contents of the pot in the blender, and I have a thick, rich, authentic Mexican pepper sauce. Mark Sisson: Bacon Brussels Sprouts With Brown Butter Vinaigrette.

Brown-butter vinaigrette and a generous garnish of bacon make this veggie side dish almost as satisfying as a main course. Even so, the overall flavor is surprisingly light and refreshing, thanks to the crisp, tender texture of the Brussels sprouts and a generous squirt of lemon. This recipe uses a quick and efficient cooking method that browns the outside of the sprouts while gently steaming the inside.

The trick is leaving the Brussels sprouts undisturbed in a lidded pot on the stove for not much more than five minutes. It's so much faster than roasting Brussels sprouts in the oven and also prevents the wet-sponge texture that makes overcooked Brussels sprouts so unappealing. The pungency of the Brussels sprouts is tamed by bacon fat and by vinaigrette made from brown butter and lemon. Oatmeal Nutella Mug Cake Recipes from The Kitchn.
