Lemon-Garlic Sirloin with Roasted Potatoes & Broccoli

A fast Pacific Northwest–friendly spring dinner built around one of the best sale items: petite sirloin. The steak gets a hot sear, then is sliced over crisp-edged roasted potatoes with garlicky broccoli and a bright pan sauce. It feels steakhouse-inspired, but weeknight practical and balanced.

Ingredients

  • USDA Choice Beef Sirloin Steak Petite - 1 Lb 1 lb $8.99
  • Signature SELECT/FARMS Russet Potatoes In Bag - 5 Lb 1 lb russet potatoes, cut into 1-inch wedges $2.99
  • Broccoli Crown 1 lb, cut into florets with peeled stems sliced $2.62
  • Yellow Onion 1/2 lb, cut into thick wedges $1.12
  • Wonderful Seedless Lemons Prepacked Bag - 1 Lb 1 lemon, zested and juiced $3.99
  • Garlic 3 cloves, minced
  • Olive oil 2 1/2 tablespoons
  • Butter 1 tablespoon
  • Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Smoked paprika 1/2 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Pat the 1 lb petite sirloin steak dry and let it sit at room temperature while you prep the vegetables.
  2. Toss 1 lb russet potatoes cut into 1-inch wedges with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika. Spread on one side of a sheet pan.
  3. Toss 1 lb broccoli florets and sliced stems plus 1/2 lb yellow onion wedges with 1 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Spread on the other side of the sheet pan.
  4. Roast the potatoes, broccoli, and onion at 425°F for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping once halfway, until the potatoes are browned on the edges and the broccoli is tender with some charred tips.
  5. When the vegetables have about 10 minutes left, season the 1 lb petite sirloin steak on both sides with kosher salt and black pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1/2 tablespoon olive oil.
  6. Sear the 1 lb petite sirloin steak for about 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare to medium, adjusting for thickness. Add 1 tablespoon butter and 3 minced garlic cloves in the last minute and baste the steak briefly.
  7. Transfer the steak to a cutting board to rest for 5 to 7 minutes. Lower the skillet heat to medium and add the zest of 1 lemon, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard. Swirl to combine into a quick pan sauce. Add a tablespoon of water if needed to loosen it.
  8. Slice the rested 1 lb petite sirloin steak thinly against the grain.
  9. Plate the roasted potatoes first, then lean the sliced steak against them. Arrange the roasted broccoli and onion to the side for color contrast. Spoon the lemon-garlic pan sauce over the steak and finish with a little extra black pepper and a squeeze of lemon if desired.

Cook time: 35 minutes

Estimated cost: $13-16

Health notes: Approximately 620-700 calories per serving. About 42g protein, 30g fat, 42g carbohydrates, 6-8g fiber. Balanced high-protein meal with a moderate starch portion and plenty of cruciferous vegetables.

Drink pairing: A medium-bodied red with fresh acidity works beautifully here. Pinot Noir highlights the beef without overwhelming the broccoli and lemony finish, while Cabernet Sauvignon brings more structure if you like a bolder steak dinner. If using extra black pepper in the pan sauce, Pinot Noir is the more graceful match.

Roasted Steelhead with Cilantro Rice & Spring Zucchini Tomatoes

This lighter, colorful dinner leans into spring produce and a strong seafood value pick: steelhead trout on sale. The fish is oven-roasted until silky, then served with warm zucchini, tomatoes, and a fluffy cilantro rice brightened with lemon. Fresh, vibrant, and very Washington-season appropriate.

Ingredients

  • Steelhead Trout Fresh Whole Fillet - 1 Lb 1 lb $10.99
  • Green Zucchini Squash 1 lb, halved lengthwise and sliced into half-moons $1.08
  • On The Vine Red Tomato - Each (Traditionally comes on the vine) 1 lb, cut into bite-size wedges $0.34
  • Yellow Onion 1/2 lb, thinly sliced $1.12
  • Cilantro 1 Bunch 1/2 bunch, chopped $1.29
  • Wonderful Seedless Lemons Prepacked Bag - 1 Lb 1 lemon, divided $3.99
  • Garlic 2 cloves, minced
  • Long-grain rice 3/4 cup dry
  • Olive oil 2 tablespoons
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Rinse 3/4 cup long-grain rice and cook it with 1 1/2 cups water and a pinch of salt according to package directions, about 15 to 18 minutes.
  2. Pat the 1 lb steelhead trout dry. Place it on a lightly oiled sheet pan or small baking dish. Season with kosher salt, black pepper, half the zest of 1 lemon, and a drizzle of 1/2 tablespoon olive oil.
  3. In a bowl, toss 1 lb zucchini half-moons, 1 lb tomato wedges, and 1/2 lb thinly sliced yellow onion with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, kosher salt, and black pepper. Spread around the fish if space allows, or on a second pan.
  4. Roast the 1 lb steelhead trout and vegetables at 425°F for 12 to 16 minutes, until the trout flakes easily and the vegetables are softened but still bright. If the tomatoes release a lot of juice, give the pan a quick stir once near the end.
  5. Fluff the cooked 3/4 cup rice with a fork. Stir in 1/2 bunch chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, a little lemon zest, and a small drizzle of olive oil. Taste and season with salt.
  6. If desired, spoon some of the roasted tomato juices into a small bowl and mix with another squeeze of lemon to make a light pan dressing.
  7. Plate the cilantro rice as a bed slightly off-center. Set a portion of the roasted 1 lb steelhead trout over or beside the rice. Arrange the zucchini, tomatoes, and onion alongside for a colorful presentation. Spoon over the tomato-lemon juices and finish with extra chopped cilantro and lemon wedges.

Cook time: 40 minutes

Estimated cost: $16-19

Health notes: Approximately 560-640 calories per serving. About 38g protein, 21g fat, 48g carbohydrates, 4-6g fiber. Heart-healthy fats from trout and olive oil, with a vegetable-forward presentation.

Drink pairing: Look for a white with citrus, herbs, and enough texture for rich fish. Sauvignon Blanc is excellent with the lemon, cilantro, and tomatoes, while Chardonnay suits the trout’s fuller texture if you prefer a rounder style. Keep oak modest if possible for the freshest pairing.

Mango Shrimp Curry with Spinach Rice Bowl

This is the richer option of the set: a cozy, glossy stove-top curry with tender shrimp, sweet mango, spinach, and rice. It brings a different ethnic direction, feels special without going over an hour, and uses seasonal citrus and mango to brighten the sauce. Luxurious texture, vivid color, and excellent leftover potential if you scale it up.

Ingredients

  • Waterfront Bistro Raw Shrimp Peeled And Deveined Tail Off 41-50 ct - 1 lb 1 lb $10.99
  • Large Mango 1, peeled and diced $1.50
  • Signature SELECT/FARMS Spinach - 8 Oz 4 oz $2.49
  • Yellow Onion 1/2 lb, diced $1.12
  • Ginger Root 1 tablespoon, grated $1.07
  • Wonderful Seedless Lemons Prepacked Bag - 1 Lb 1/2 lemon, juiced $3.99
  • Garlic 3 cloves, minced
  • Jasmine rice 3/4 cup dry
  • Coconut milk 1 can, about 13.5 oz
  • Red curry paste 2 tablespoons
  • Neutral oil 1 tablespoon
  • Fish sauce or soy sauce 2 teaspoons
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Cilantro a small handful for garnish, optional

Instructions

  1. Cook 3/4 cup jasmine rice according to package directions, using about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups water. Keep covered and warm.
  2. Pat the 1 lb peeled and deveined shrimp dry and season lightly with kosher salt and black pepper.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil in a medium skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add 1/2 lb diced yellow onion and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until softened.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon grated ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves to the onion. Stir for 30 seconds, then add 2 tablespoons red curry paste and cook for 1 minute to bloom the spices.
  5. Pour in 1 can coconut milk and stir until smooth. Simmer gently for 5 minutes so the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Add the 1 diced mango and 2 teaspoons fish sauce or soy sauce. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, lightly breaking up a few pieces of mango with a spoon so the sauce becomes glossy and fruity.
  7. Add the 1 lb shrimp to the curry sauce and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring, until just opaque and curled.
  8. Fold in 4 oz spinach and cook for 1 minute until wilted. Finish with juice from 1/2 lemon and taste for salt.
  9. Spoon the jasmine rice into shallow bowls. Ladle the shrimp and mango-spinach curry over and around the rice so the sauce pools nicely. Garnish with a small handful of cilantro if using. For the best presentation, keep a few bright mango cubes and several shrimp visible on top.

Cook time: 50 minutes

Estimated cost: $19-23

Health notes: Approximately 700-820 calories per serving. About 36g protein, 24g fat, 80g carbohydrates, 5-7g fiber. Higher-calorie and a bit richer than the other meals due to rice and coconut milk, but still nutrient-dense with seafood, spinach, and fruit.

Drink pairing: Aromatic whites shine with the gentle heat, sweet mango, and curry spices. Riesling is the classic answer, offering fruit and acidity that calm spice, while Gewurztraminer matches the dish’s floral and tropical notes. Choose a dry to off-dry version depending on your heat level.
