Beef Stroganoff
Beef stroganoff in 30 minutes with tender steak and a sour cream sauce that does not split. Serves 4, and the cut of beef that makes the difference.
Cottage Pie
Cottage pie with a filling thick enough to hold the mash up and a crisp forked top. Serves 6 in about 1 hour 20, plus the shepherds pie difference.
Slow Cooker Lamb Shanks
Lamb shanks slow cooked in red wine and rosemary until the meat falls off the bone, with a sauce reduced properly. Serves 4, 8 hours in the cooker.
Nachos
Nachos fail in a very specific way: the top layer is perfect, the bottom is a pale soggy raft of chips with nothing on them, and the middle is somewhere between. That’s a construction problem, not a recipe problem. Serves 4 as a main, 6 as a shared plate. Thirty minutes.
