Cooking Tips
🥩 Beef
- Bring beef to room temperature 30 minutes before cooking for even results.
- Season generously with salt at least 40 minutes before or right before cooking.
- Sear on high heat first, then finish on lower heat for the perfect crust.
Nutrition: Excellent source of iron, zinc, and B12. A 3oz serving provides about 22g protein.
Storage: Refrigerate ground beef up to 2 days, steaks up to 5 days. Freeze for 4-12 months.
🍝 Pasta
- Salt your pasta water generously — it should taste like the sea.
- Save a cup of pasta water before draining to thicken your sauce.
- Cook pasta 1 minute less than the package says for perfect al dente.
Nutrition: Good source of complex carbohydrates and B vitamins. Whole wheat adds fiber.
Storage: Dry pasta lasts 1-2 years. Cooked pasta keeps 3-5 days refrigerated.
