Grilled Steak with Barley SaladBarley has a unique chewy texture and nutty flavour. Cooking barley is easy and can be ready in under 30 minutes. This recipe is super speedy if you are using leftover steak or roast beef – a tip: cook an extra steak when you barbecue for a meal short-cut at the ready. Barley can also be cooked ahead, cooled and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months – another short-cut for speedy cooking.

Persian Okra Stew (Khoresh Bamieh)By Tara Omidvar, @madeofsugarandsaffron, Khoresh Bamieh or okra stew is a dish originating in the south of Iran. It’s a hot and flavourful dish with lots of garlic. Okra, beef and tamarind are the main ingredients. Like many other Iranian stews, there are different versions of this stew as well. Some cooks add split peas and some make it without tamarind. This version is the one that Tara’s grandmother taught her. The sourness that tamarind provides to this dish can’t be replaced with any other ingredient. As with every other Iranian stew, this dish is always served with saffron rice. You can also serve Shirazi Salad (see Tip), fresh herbs and/or pickled vegetables as accompaniments.

Black Pepper Beef Thai Stir-FryUsing steak in a stir-fry or as kabobs helps stretch your steak further. In this recipe one 8 oz (250 g) steak can serve two people or serves one with leftovers for a second meal. YouTube chef Pailin Chongchitnant of Hot Thai Kitchen uses a ‘season ahead’ technique for the steak to develop a caramelization and crusting to enhance the beef flavour without being too salty. To make the recipe serve 4, simply double the recipe (except for the amount of water in the sauce).

Beef SamosasSpiced ground beef enveloped in pastry and fried to perfection, these beef samosas make the best kind of appetizer. I prefer using lean ground beef for this recipe. Traditionally samosas are deep-fried though sometimes when we get uncooked samosas from our families we use the air fryer. The samosa wrappers can be found in the freezer section in well-stocked supermarkets and at Southeast Asian grocery stores.
