Sheetpan Sirloin with Yogurt and Chili Crisp

This recipe is basically about how big things (flavor) come from small packages (sirloin tips). Super meaty and tender, sirloin tips do very well with minimal effort and cooking time. In this recipe, the tips are roasted hot and fast for an easy, peasy sheet pan dinner with roasted carrots,…

Pork Chops in Peppery Gravy

ButcherBox’s Pork Chops get seared until golden brown and then braised on the stovetop in a savory gravy that acts as a sauce, but also the cooking medium—efficient and genius, really. It’s a method called smothering and rooted in the American South’s cajun and creole cuisines. This technique works very…

Braised Chicken Thighs with Crushed Tomatoes

Succulent and juicy salt and pepper chicken thighs browned in butter, a tangy tomato sauce and seared mushrooms—this dish is simple but super comforting. All you really need is maybe a few thick slices of garlic bread or some creamy polenta to take this up a notch. If you like…

Turkey and Mozzarella Stuffed Peppers

Super satisfying yet light, these stuffed peppers are garlicky, herbaceous (thanks to a generous amount of sage), bright with tomato and cheesy from melted layers of mozzarella. How could turkey not like being paired with such tasty flavors? Lastly, because it’s never bad to have some greens too, escarole (a…

Chicken Pot Pie with Greens and Root Vegetables

Comforting and nourishing, this pot pie is as much about chicken and buttery pastry as it is about vegetables.

Pan-Roasted Ribeye with Buttery Mushrooms

Our ribeye is the perfect date night meal, like for Valentine’s Day or just that day of the week you decide to make something extra special. This mushroom sauce is reminiscent of steak au poivre but a lot less creamy, peppery and made with ribeye versus filet mignon—it’s more tangy-bright…
