Mains
This pasta dish is an indulgence that feels good. While steak can feel like a luxury, the rest of the short ingredient list is heavy on pantry staples.

Oil and season both sides of the steak with salt and black pepper. In a frying pan over medium-high heat, add the steak and cook to your desired doneness. Transfer the steak to a plate; cover with foil to rest.
Cook the pasta according to package directions; reserve at least 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
While pasta is cooking, start the sauce. Combine the cream, half a teaspoon salt, black pepper, dijon mustard and balsamic vinegar in a bowl. Stir and set aside.
Heat the oil and butter in a large frying pan. Once the butter is melted, add the onion, garlic, and sugar and cook on a low-medium heat until onions are brown and caramelized.
Add the mushrooms; cook about 4 more minutes until they're also golden brown. Increase the heat a bit, and add in the whisky. Cook about 2 minutes, until the whisky is almost entirely evaporated. Add the cream sauce and heat through. Remove from heat.
Add cheese and parsley; stir to combine. Add the drained pasta to the pan, adding the water to desired consistency (around 1/2 cup).
Slice the steak into strips. Place the pan with pasta back on the stove over medium-low heat. Add the steak to the pasta and gently stir to heat it through. Serve hot.
Move over, takeout. There’s something creamier—and more budget-friendly. This 30-minute butter chicken is about to become a dinner favorite.
Cheesecake for breakfast? We won’t tell. Cinnamon-baked apples and maple ricotta piled onto fresh-baked Yoke’s sourdough make this an easy fall favorite.
Big family dinner. Small grocery bill. And the crockpot does most of the work. Let’s all say “hooray” for Chicken Pozole (po-SOH-lay).
