Just a Tip

I may have shared this before, but it’s so good it deserves a second round: The best and quickest way to cool piping hot soup is this 10-minute trick: Clear your sink, and put the hot pot over the drain to block it. Cover with the lid, then turn on your cold tap and let the sink fill up with cold water. Once the water is at least halfway up the pot, turn off the water and uncover the lid to let any steam escape. In 10 minutes or less, it will be cool enough to refrigerate.

Cowboy Steak

For some reason, this has become the new favorite meat in my house. Everyone likes it better than any roasts I’ve ever made!

Rub salt + pepper + garlic powder + Trader Joe’s coffee rub + coconut sugar + and olive oil into the steak. I leave it marinating in fridge the whole day Friday, and then right before Shabbos I broil it for 7 to 10 minutes on each side.

My best secret is that NPGS in Jackson, NJ, sells the best meat!

Review It!

Kitchen Fave:

I recently bought a zoodle machine. We are loving it! Recent fave lunch idea: Sauté one diced onion, one zoodled zucchini, and two shredded carrots until very soft. Add feta cheese and walnuts. For dinner I ser ve it alongside seared salmon.

Rivky’s Fruit Nachos were such a hit. They made the perfect dessert after a meat-heavy meal. I served them on a big platter and brought out different sauces — chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, blueberry sauce. From adults to kids, everyone enjoyed it, and I’m definitely using that one again! (Issue 709)
