Minute Steaks with Barbeque Butter Sauce

Rating: 4.5 stars 133
Everyone knows that a minute steak is only as good as the pan sauce, and this recipes offers an ultra-simple barbeque butter sauce. There's only a small amount of butter, but the way it blends with the beef broth and barbeque sauce, the effect is amplified.

Chef John's Chicken Under a Brick

Rating: 4.5 stars 46
You should use a big cast iron pan for this, but it will also work in a high-quality, heavy-duty stainless steel pan, or other oven-proof skillet. The key is to heat it very well before the chicken goes in. Other than that, there's really no way to screw it up, unless you under or overcook it, which won't happen, since you're going to check it with the thermometer.

Roasted Lemon Pepper Potatoes

Rating: 4.5 stars 81
If you've made and loved our Greek Lemon Chicken and Fondant Potatoes, then you will absolutely adore these lemon pepper potatoes, since it's basically the best of those two recipes put together, minus the chicken. Tender on the inside and crusty on the outside, these potatoes make for an impressive side dish. The only problem is whatever main course you pair it with is in serious danger of being upstaged.

Chef John's Hot Sloppy Joe Dip

Rating: 4 stars 47
For me this checks all the boxes for a hot party dip. It's relatively cheap and easy to make, but maybe more importantly, it's great hot, warm, or room temp. And it's also incredibly versatile.
