Fast Weeknight Meals Welcome to the working week. When Monday rolls around, meal planning gets a large share of our attention.  “What should I make for dinner?” is the question that comes up every day around 4 PM.  While you can always have a pizza delivered, here are five fast and delicious meals you can serve in a pinch. Just stock the freezer with a few Snake River Farms staples and you can pull off these recipes with ingredients you probably already have on hand.    30-Minute Beef and Veggie Stir-Fry By: Kelly Senyei of Just a Taste     Go from start to finish in just 30 minutes with this Asian-inspired dish from Kelly Senyei, founder of Just a Taste. The richness of SRF NY Strip Slices is balanced with a host of vegetables, including broccoli, bell peppers and sugar snap peas. Baby corn adds a whimsical and surprising touch. A sauce of sweet hoisin, savory garlic and soy, brings it all together. Just add steamed rice or noodles and dinner is served.    Sheet Pan Fajitas By: Mandy Tanner   Fajitas are the more polished cousin of the taco and this simple recipe is an easy way to put an appetizing meal on the table in record time. The fajita slices are marinated in lime juice and a flavorful spice blend you make from ingredients on your spice rack. Or keep it easy and use a packaged fajita rub or taco seasoning.  Marinate the meat the day before to for faster prep time.     Instant Pot Bolognese Sauce By: Meredith Deeds   Classic Bolognese is a rich, meaty sauce, but is also a time-consuming dish. Enter the Instant Pot to condense a day-long cook down to just an hour. SRF gourmet ground beef and Kurobuta sausage add deep flavor. We’re fans of thick pasta, like pappardelle, for Bolognese but use anything you have on hand. This recipe is great for lasagna, too.     American Wagyu Steak Cut Stroganoff By: Sarah Kelly   Beef stroganoff is a savory comfort food that's high on the list of best home cooked dinners. SRF Steak Cuts add luxurious flavor and texture to upgrade Grandma’s stroganoff recipe to a new level of delicious. It’s easy to pull this recipe off during the week, but the creamy, meaty sauce piled on thick egg noodles is rich enough for a Sunday supper.    All American Wagyu All Beef Chili By: Snake River Farms   Chili is a soul warming dish that is usually made from tough cuts of beef that are slow cooked for hours to tenderize the meat. This version used SRF Steak Cuts which do not require a long cook time, but this recipe needs about two hours.  It is possible to make on a weeknight, but it’s a great dish to make on the weekend and reheat during the week.   

With an SRF American Wagyu tenderloin roast, you can bring that daydream into real life. We use the same cut for both our tenderloin roast and our top-selling filets mignons; the full beef tenderloin has a distinctive narrow shape and the power to make any holiday meal deluxe and delicious.

Snake River Farms Kurobuta hams are savory and delicious simply heated and served. If your taste buds are craving a little something extra, it’s easy to add a special touch of flavor with a glaze. A ham glaze can be as basic or fancy as you desire. Adding a glaze doesn’t have to be time-consuming with this fast-and-easy glaze. A great glaze combines elements of sweet, acid, and spice.

Your Kurobuta ham was the hit of the holidays. After the kitchen is cleaned and the good china is put away, there’s a generous amount of ham in your refrigerator. What’s the best way to use this precious ingredient? While ham and cheese sandwiches are tasty, there’s so much more you can do with this versatile meat. Here are some tips for using leftover ham for quick and satisfying post-holiday meals.

Halibut is a highly prized ocean-going fish known for its delicate flavor and firm flakey texture. Not only is it delicious, but halibut is low in fat and high in Omega 3 fatty acids. Found in the cold waters of the Northwest Pacific, this popular fish is versatile and works well with a wide range of cooking techniques.

Cutting against the grain is simple. Find the direction of the muscle fibers, then slice at a 90° angle. Read on to learn more about this important meat carving skill.
