Sunday Strategist: A Week of Healthy Dinners —May 8-12

Add fresh curry paste to canned coconut milk and nut butter, and you have an instant, wonderfully complex satay sauce. Use as a dip, in stir-fries, or drizzled on this gluten-free veggie bowl. 

A kid-friendly mix of quality convenience items and bright produce imparts fresh taste with minimal legwork. 

You can also stuff the shells with cheesy chicken and broccoli, a beef bolognese, or ricotta and spinach.

Serve with Green Bean and Radish Sauté.

This dish keeps the classic elements of gumbo but with a fresh identity. Traditional? No. Completely delicious? Yes!

Pounding the flat iron steak breaks down the muscle fibers and tenderizes the meat. Grain-fed flat iron steaks are a relatively tender cut. But with grass-fed steak's lower fat content, we find pounding the meat before cooking ensures tenderness. It also helps the steaks cook quickly—they only need about 3 minutes on a searing hot grill to hit medium-rare.

The rectangular tart pan makes for a striking presentation, but if you don't have one, you can use a 9-inch tart pan or pie plate.
