Grilled Honey Glazed Steak Strips

Ingredients:

1 lb flank or sirloin steak, cut into long ¾-inch thick strips

¼ cup honey

2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce

1 tbsp olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp dark brown sugar (optional, for extra depth)

½ tsp black pepper

¼ tsp smoked paprika

Pinch of salt

Directions:

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, brown sugar (if using), black pepper, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well blended.

Marinate the Steak: Place the steak strips in a bowl or ziplock bag. Pour the marinade over the meat and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 1–2 hours for maximum flavor.

Preheat the Grill Pan: Heat a cast iron grill pan over high heat until very hot. Lightly oil the pan using a paper towel to prevent sticking.

Cook the Steak Strips: Arrange the steak strips in a single layer on the hot grill pan. Let them sear undisturbed for 2–3 minutes to get beautiful grill marks. Flip and cook another 2–3 minutes. For extra gloss, brush with leftover marinade as they cook.

Plate and Serve: Transfer the cooked strips to a plate and let rest for 3–5 minutes. Spoon any leftover pan juices around the edges for a shiny, glazed presentation.

Prep Time: 15 minutes (plus 1–2 hours marinating) | Cooking Time: 6–8 minutes | Total Time: ~1 hour 30 minutes
Kcal: ~320 kcal per serving | Servings: 4

1 (10 oz) can mild red enchilada sauce

Lemon Rhubarb Loaf with Glaze

Ingredients:

1½ cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

¼ cup fresh lemon juice

1 tbsp lemon zest

½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup chopped fresh rhubarb

¾ cup powdered sugar

1–2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (for glaze)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Add lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and sour cream (or Greek yogurt) to the wet mixture, stirring until combined.

Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined—do not overmix.

Gently fold in the chopped rhubarb.

Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

While the loaf cools, make the glaze by mixing powdered sugar with enough lemon juice to reach a smooth, pourable consistency.

Once the loaf is fully cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top and let it set. Slice and enjoy!

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tbsp freshly grated lemon zest

¼ cup lemon syrup (replace limoncello liqueur)

1½ cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

2 tbsp lemon syrup (replace limoncello liqueur)

½ tsp vanilla extract

½ cup cold heavy cream (for whipping)

For the frosting: In a bowl, beat mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, lemon syrup, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture to create a light, luscious frosting.

Once the cake layers are completely cool, spread frosting generously on top (and between layers if using two). Chill the cake for 15–30 minutes for clean slices.

Garnish with extra lemon zest or thin lemon slices if desired. Slice, serve, and enjoy this citrusy, dreamy cake!
