This vegetable chow mein is much more than a tasty-enough weeknight meal—it is a tangle of saucy noodles and vegetables, and it’s fast becoming a family favorite. It works as well with spaghetti as with soba noodles, with asparagus as with broccoli, with or without protein. Moreover, the adaptations are endless // alexandracooks.com

In these skirt steak sandwiches, skirt steak, which cooks to medium-rare in just about 5 minutes, is layered with arugula between slices of focaccia smeared with herbed mayonnaise.
