Easy Grilled Flounder
The thing that makes this easy grilled flounder easy is a reusable, nonstick grilling mat. Flounder is very tender, and the filets are uneven in thickness. You’ll only need to grill it on one side! Because of its delicate nature, direct cooking will only take a few minutes, so the other parts of your menu need to be complete when you start cooking the fish. We love this with a simple baked sweet potato and a green salad.

Slow-Cooker Short-Rib Goulash
Meltingly tender meaty dishes like this one are made for cold nights. And while this would make a perfect Sunday supper, it’s actual possible any night of the week, thanks to your slow cooker! That’s right, this recipe truly benefits from cooking all day. Beef short-ribs are extremely flavorful, but to experience the full depth of their savoriness, you need time. Time, plus a prep technique we consider key to making the best possible slow-cooker meats: browning. Browning the short ribs, onions and garlic and deglazing the pan might sound cumbersome, but it’s actually quite efficient, since the deglazing leaves you with a clean pan, and more importantly, the whole process amounts to next-level flavor. Flavor so dynamite, we think this recipe is destined to become a part of your cold-weather dinner rotation!

Slow-Cooker Irish Stout Beef Stew
During the colder months, we can’t get enough soup, stew and chili, but truth be told—sometimes we need a break from our old favorites. That’s why this recipe is such a welcome addition. It makes for a hearty bowl with fall-apart-tender chunks of beef in a luscious, rich broth, but that’s not all that’s going on here. Caramelized onions add a sweetness that’s well balanced by the slightly bitter (think coffee-flavored) taste of the Guinness®. The preparation of the beef—it’s dredged in flour and browned before being added to the slow cooker crock—helps thicken the stew and adds all sorts of deeply savory flavor. So when you want something comforting and crowd-friendly—but also feel like you’ve been eating the same thing for months—turn to this sensational stew for something new.
