This festive recipe is inspired by the braised oxtails that actor and cookbook author Ayesha Curry’s mom served at Sunday dinners: It has all the same flavors but repackaged into a prime rib roast. Be sure to rest the meat before slicing for maximum juiciness and tenderness.

Recipe notes

Steak With Cherry Tomato Chutney

A steak dinner that’s more about the sauce than the meat.

Jalapeño Popper Skillet Tacos

Roasted poblanos, jalapeños, and red onion are coated with a melty sauce—warm with the flavors of pepper jack, and stabilized with a block of cream cheese.

Silken Tofu With Black Bean Garlic Sauce

A homemade black bean sauce is better than anything you can find in the grocery store. Plus, the 15-minute dinner you can make with it.

Steak Salad With Feta Dressing

Juicy steak, crisp lettuce, and a blender dressing come together for a breezy summer dinner.

Sticky Honey-Soy Chicken Legs

Bone-in, skin-on chicken legs glossed in a sticky honey mustard glaze strike the perfect balance of tangy, sweet, and delightfully savory.

Gingery Pork Stuffed Tomatoes

We reimagined pork dumplings as a filling for juicy stuffed tomatoes.

Weeknight Pumpkin Chili

A can of pumpkin purée adds richness, body, and an autumnal hue to this speedy chili, letting the flavors of the spices, aromatics, and ground beef shine.

Steakhouse Salad With Black Pepper Dressing

Crisp winter greens and tender slices of steak get the restaurant treatment with a punchy peppercorn dressing, crisp bacon bits, chives, and blue cheese.
