AL FRESCO<br />

DINING<br />

PREP IN ADVANCE<br />

When hosting an outdoor cookout, prep as<br />

much as you can in advance. Wash and cut<br />

fresh fruits and vegetables, marinate beef and<br />

poultry, and cook whole grains a day or two<br />

ahead of time.<br />

GRILL VEGGIES LIKE A PRO<br />

While grilled veggies exhibit tender-crisp<br />

textures and deliciously smoky flavors, they<br />

require a few tips and tricks to cook just right.<br />

Choose varieties that can stand up to the heat of<br />

the grill, such as zucchini, potatoes, asparagus,<br />

broccoli, and cauliflower. Brush veggies with<br />

olive oil or marinate before grilling to add flavor<br />

and prevent sticking. Vegetables also vary in<br />

how long they take to cook on the grill. Try<br />

searing over high heat, then placing away from<br />

the heat source to finish cooking.<br />

SHEET TRAY<br />

CHILE-LIME<br />

STEAK FAJITAS<br />

INGREDIENTS<br />

• 3 garlic cloves, minced<br />

• ¼ cup canola oil<br />

• 1 tsp ground cumin<br />

• 1 tsp salt<br />

• ½ tsp ground black pepper<br />

• 1/3 cup fresh lime juice<br />

• 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro<br />

• 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes<br />

• 1 tsp brown sugar<br />

• 1¼ pounds boneless top round<br />

steaks, thinly sliced<br />

• 3 medium green, red and/or<br />

yellow bell peppers, thinly sliced<br />

• 1 medium yellow onion, thinly<br />

sliced<br />

• 8 (6-inch) corn tortillas<br />

• Toppings: pico de gallo,<br />

guacamole, sour cream, and/<br />

or lime wedges for garnish<br />

(optional)<br />

DIRECTIONS<br />

1. In small bowl, whisk garlic, oil, cumin, salt, and black pepper; reserve<br />

half the oil mixture in large bowl, cover and refrigerate. Whisk lime juice,<br />

cilantro, pepper flakes, and sugar into remaining oil mixture; add steaks<br />

and lime juice mixture to large zip-top plastic bag. Seal bag, pressing<br />

out excess air; refrigerate at least 2 or up to 8 hours.<br />

2. Position 2 oven racks to center and next lower positions; preheat oven<br />

to 475°. Place rimmed baking pan on center rack; preheat 10 minutes.<br />

3. Add bell peppers and onion to reserved oil mixture and toss; spread on<br />

hot pan and roast 5 minutes.<br />

4. Remove steaks from marinade; discard marinade. Push pepper-onion<br />

mixture to 1 side of pan; place steaks on opposite side. Wrap tortillas in<br />

aluminum foil.<br />

5. Roast steaks and vegetables on center rack and tortillas on lower rack<br />

5 minutes or until vegetables are tender and internal temperature of<br />

steaks reaches 140° for medium-rare; let stand 5 minutes. (Internal<br />

temperature will rise 5 to 10° upon standing.) Serve steaks and pepperonion<br />

mixture with tortillas and toppings, if desired.<br />

SERVE CONDIMENTS IN<br />

MUFFIN TINS<br />

To enjoy condiments during picnics or<br />

barbeques without carting individual bottles,<br />

pour different sauces and toppings into<br />

separate muffin compartments. Set a serving<br />

spoon in each vessel, and cover with plastic<br />

wrap or aluminum foil between uses.<br />

SERVE SAFE FOOD<br />

Keep food at the proper temperature to prevent<br />

the growth of food-borne bacteria. The key is<br />

to never let food remain in the “danger zone,”<br />

between 40° and 140°, for more than two hours,<br />

or one hour if outdoor temperatures are above<br />

90°F. Always remember to thoroughly clean and<br />

sanitize hands, surfaces and utensils, too.<br />

MAKE CREATIVE, DUAL-<br />

PURPOSE ICE PACKS<br />

Instead of adding extra components to your<br />

already-packed cooler, freeze a few water<br />

bottles ahead of time, and use them as ice<br />

packs to keep your food cold. Remove paper<br />

labels on bottles and be sure lids are tightly<br />

secured before freezing. When the bottles melt<br />

back into water, enjoy an ice-cold beverage to<br />

cool off.

TIME-SAVING<br />

COOKING TIPS<br />

Follow these suggestions to<br />

create easy, flavorful meals while<br />

saving valuable time, money,<br />

and energy.<br />

COOK ONCE, EAT TWICE<br />

Plan meals that will last longer and ease your<br />

cooking tasks for the week. Cook proteins that<br />

can easily transition into double-duty meals. For<br />

example, put aside some cooked ground beef<br />

from a chili recipe to make tacos throughout the<br />

week, or make a large batch of rice or pasta for<br />

several quick and easy dishes. You’ll save tons of<br />

time by not having to cook from scratch twice.<br />

FREEZE FOR LATER<br />

Don’t think you’ll eat your large batches before<br />

they spoil? No problem – freeze them! The<br />

freezer is key for saving both the integrity of<br />

your ingredients and time! Prep and freeze<br />

elements of your favorite recipes or freeze the<br />

entire dish. Simply thaw and reheat whatever<br />

you’re craving.<br />

CHOOSE PASSIVE COOKING<br />

TECHNIQUES<br />

Cooking appliances can help you prepare<br />

flavorful meals more easily. Meals made in a<br />

slow cooker, rice cooker, pressure cooker, or<br />

air fryer are great for nights you want to set it<br />

and forget about it. Take advantage of these<br />

gadgets that do the heavy lifting plus alleviate<br />

cleaning stress.<br />

SAVVY SHORTCUTS<br />

Slicing and dicing ingredients for meal prep is<br />

time-consuming. Pick up ready-to-cook veggies<br />

in the Produce Department at your local Price<br />

Chopper – we have prewashed greens, prechopped<br />

vegetable medleys, shaved Brussels<br />

sprouts, and more time-saving shortcuts. Or,<br />

rely on frozen fruit and vegetable varieties to<br />

bring flavor, nutrition, and convenience to your<br />

favorite recipes.<br />

NO-COOK MEALS<br />

Take a vacation from your oven and stovetop by<br />

creating easy no-cook meals. Rotisserie chicken<br />

is an excellent ingredient to keep on hand, as<br />

well as staples like olive oil, tomato sauce or<br />

paste, canned beans or fish, bottled dressings,<br />

spices, and seasonings. These essentials will<br />

help you create delicious pantry-to-plate meals<br />

that come together in a flash.<br />

NOTE Serve tot skewers with a mixture of sour cream and green onions for dipping.
