French Onion Beef Noodle Soup
This super-savory dish draws its inspiration from Taiwanese beef noodle soup, then gilds the lily with a Dutch oven’s worth of sweet, slow-simmered onions—the best part of French onion soup, if you ask this recipe’s developer, Amiel Stanek.

Black Pepper Beef Stew
Consider this recipe a love letter to the humble black peppercorn—one of those often-used but underappreciated spices. Chunks of beef are marinated in yogurt, ginger, garlic, and freshly ground pepper, then seared all over, building flavor for the stew from the ground up.

Stracotto di Manzo (Stewed Beef)
I miss going to Rome I love everything about this amazing city. Here is a typical Roman recipe I got from Stefano, the owner of Osteria dal 1931, my favorite restaurant in Rome, on my last visit. Hopefully, I’ll be back soon.
Korean Braised Short Ribs
This isn’t your typical braise. You don’t brown the meat before it slow-cooks in liquid. The veg are kind of cooked to death. And I wouldn’t change a thing. This recipe is meant to feed a crowd (6 to 8), but you can easily halve it.
