Oven-Roasted Broccoli & Cauliflower with Stovetop Flank Steak + Winter Dill Chimichurri

A steakhouse-feeling dinner that’s weeknight-fast: juicy, sale-priced flank steak with a punchy WA-winter chimichurri (lots of parsley + a little dill) and a sheet-pan of caramelized broccoli & cauliflower. Big flavor, minimal dishes.

Ingredients

  • Certified Angus Beef Boneless Flank Steak 1 lb $12.99 sale (1 lb)
  • Baby Organic Broccoli 8 oz (about half the bag) $4.99 (1 lb)
  • Organic Broccoli Bunch OR Organic Cauliflower 8 oz florets (use whichever you buy) $3.49/lb
  • Simple Truth Organic® Baby Dill 2 Tbsp, chopped $2.79 (0.5 oz)
  • Organic Yellow Peeled Onion 1/2 small onion, very finely chopped $1.99 each
  • Organic Garlic 2 cloves, minced $6.99/lb
  • Lemon (not listed) 1 (zest + 2 Tbsp juice)
  • Flat-leaf parsley (not listed) 1 packed cup, finely chopped
  • Olive oil (pantry) 3 Tbsp, divided
  • Red wine vinegar (pantry) 1 1/2 Tbsp
  • Crushed red pepper (pantry) Pinch
  • Kosher salt & black pepper (pantry) To taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the steak: Pat dry 1 lb flank steak. Season both sides with 1 1/4 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Let it sit at room temp while you prep everything else (10–15 minutes).
  2. Heat the oven + prep veg: Heat oven to 450°F. Cut 8 oz broccoli and 8 oz cauliflower into bite-size florets. Toss on a sheet pan with 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and black pepper. Spread into a single layer.
  3. Roast: Roast broccoli/cauliflower at 450°F until browned at the edges and tender-crisp, 15–20 minutes, tossing once halfway.
  4. Make the winter chimichurri: In a bowl, combine 1 packed cup finely chopped parsley, 2 Tbsp chopped dill, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 Tbsp lemon juice + a little zest, 1 1/2 Tbsp red wine vinegar, 1/2 small onion finely chopped, pinch crushed red pepper, and 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil. Taste and season with salt/pepper.
  5. Sear the steak (stovetop): Heat a cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium-high until very hot. Add 1 tsp oil if the pan is dry. Sear flank steak 4–6 minutes per side for medium-rare (125–130°F), or 6–7 minutes per side for medium (135–140°F), depending on thickness.
  6. Rest + slice: Rest steak 8–10 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.
  7. Serve: Plate roasted broccoli/cauliflower. Top steak with chimichurri (or serve on the side). Spoon any extra chimichurri over the vegetables too.

Health notes: ~750–900 calories/person (depends on steak portion & oil). High protein; lots of cruciferous veg. Keep it lighter by using 1 Tbsp oil total in chimichurri and serving with extra veg instead of bread.

Drink pairing: Chimichurri loves bright, herbal reds. Go for a medium-bodied, high-acid red with minimal oak. Local WA tip: look for a Columbia Valley Cabernet Franc or Grenache-based red (often super herb-friendly).

Stovetop Pork Tenderloin Medallions with Cider–Dijon Pan Sauce + Yukon Mash & Garlicky Chard

Cozy-but-fresh French bistro vibes in under an hour: tender pork tenderloin medallions (major sale) with a cider-mustard pan sauce, plus creamy mashed Yukon Golds and quick-sautéed chard. It tastes like it took all night.

Ingredients

  • Kroger® Fresh Natural Pork Tenderloin 1 lb $3.99 sale (1 lb)
  • Organic Yukon Gold Potatoes 1 lb (about 2–3 medium) $4.99 (3 lb)
  • Organic Rainbow Chard 8–10 oz, chopped $3.49 (16 oz)
  • Organic Garlic 2 cloves, divided $6.99/lb
  • Organic Jumbo Yellow Onions 1/2 small onion, thinly sliced $2.19/lb
  • Apple cider (not listed) 1/2 cup
  • Dijon mustard (pantry) 1 1/2 Tbsp
  • Chicken stock or water (pantry) 1/2 cup
  • Butter (pantry) 2 Tbsp, divided
  • Olive oil (pantry) 1 Tbsp
  • Salt & pepper (pantry) To taste
  • Optional: thyme (pantry) 1/2 tsp dried or 2 sprigs

Instructions

  1. Prep: Peel and cut 1 lb Yukon Gold potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Mince 2 garlic cloves (keep 1 clove for potatoes, 1 for chard). Thinly slice 1/2 small onion. Chop 8–10 oz chard (separate stems from leaves if stems are thick).
  2. Start potatoes (stovetop): Put potato chunks in a pot, cover with cold salted water by 1 inch, bring to a boil, then simmer until very tender, 12–15 minutes.
  3. Prep pork: Pat dry 1 lb pork tenderloin. Trim silver skin if needed. Slice into 1 1/2-inch medallions. Season with 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  4. Sear pork: Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add 1 Tbsp olive oil. Sear medallions 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to 145°F (work in batches if needed). Move pork to a plate and tent with foil.
  5. Make cider-mustard pan sauce: Reduce heat to medium. Add 1 Tbsp butter and the sliced 1/2 onion to the same skillet; sauté 2–3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup apple cider and scrape up browned bits. Simmer 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup stock/water and 1 1/2 Tbsp Dijon (plus thyme if using). Simmer 3–5 minutes until slightly glossy. Taste and season with salt/pepper.
  6. Mash potatoes: Drain potatoes well. Mash with 1 Tbsp butter, the reserved 1 minced garlic clove, 2–4 Tbsp warm water/stock (or milk if you have it), and salt/pepper to taste.
  7. Sauté chard: In a small skillet (or wipe out a corner of the pork pan), melt 1 tsp butter. Add chard stems first (if using), cook 2 minutes, then add leaves + 1 minced garlic clove and a pinch of salt. Sauté 2–4 minutes until wilted. Splash in 1 Tbsp water if it looks dry.
  8. Serve: Spoon mash onto plates, add chard, and top with pork medallions. Spoon cider-mustard sauce over the pork.

Health notes: ~700–850 calories/person. High protein; good greens. Sauce is modest and pan-based (not heavy cream). To lighten: reduce butter in mash or swap for olive oil.

Drink pairing: This is a classic match for crisp whites or light reds—something that can handle mustard and apple/cider notes. Local WA tip: look for a Yakima Valley Riesling (dry/off-dry) or Columbia Valley Pinot Noir.

Grilled Rockfish with Tomatillo–Avocado Salsa Verde + Roasted Spaghetti Squash

A Pacific Northwest treat that still works on a weeknight: sale-priced rockfish, lightly grilled for smoky char, topped with a quick tomatillo–avocado salsa verde. Serve it with tender roasted spaghetti squash for a bright, lighter “taco night” without being tacos.

Ingredients

  • Fresh Rockfish Fillet Pacific Caught (sustainably sourced) 1 lb $7.99 sale (1 lb)
  • Organic Spaghetti Squash 1 small (about 1.5–2 lb) $1.99/lb
  • Fresh Tomatillo 8 oz, husked and rinsed $2.99/lb
  • Fresh Organic Large Ripe Avocado 1 $3.50 each
  • Organic Ginger Root 1 tsp, finely grated (optional but great) $5.99/lb
  • Organic Garlic 1 clove $6.99/lb
  • Lime (not listed) 1 (2 Tbsp juice)
  • Cilantro (not listed) 1/2 cup, chopped
  • Olive oil (pantry) 1 1/2 Tbsp, divided
  • Ground cumin (pantry) 1/2 tsp
  • Salt & pepper (pantry) To taste
  • Optional: jalapeño or hot sauce (not listed) To taste

Instructions

  1. Prep + heat: Heat oven to 425°F. Heat grill to medium-high (or use a grill pan).
  2. Roast the spaghetti squash (oven): Halve 1 small spaghetti squash lengthwise (careful—use a sturdy knife). Scoop out seeds. Rub cut sides with 1 Tbsp olive oil and season with 3/4 tsp kosher salt + pepper. Place cut-side down on a sheet pan. Roast at 425°F until tender, 30–40 minutes (timing depends on size).
  3. Make tomatillo–avocado salsa: Rough-chop 8 oz husked/rinsed tomatillos. In a bowl, mash 1 avocado with 2 Tbsp lime juice, 1 minced garlic clove, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1 tsp grated ginger (optional), and salt to taste. Fold in tomatillos. Add jalapeño/hot sauce if you want heat. (If you prefer smoother salsa, blitz everything in a blender.)
  4. Prep fish: Pat dry 1 lb rockfish. Cut into 2 portions. Brush with 1/2 Tbsp olive oil and season with 3/4 tsp kosher salt and black pepper.
  5. Grill the rockfish: Oil the grates. Grill rockfish 2–4 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until it flakes easily and reaches 130–135°F (it will carry over a bit).
  6. Finish squash: When squash is tender, flip over and let cool 2 minutes. Scrape strands with a fork. Taste and add a pinch more salt/pepper if needed.
  7. Serve: Mound spaghetti squash on plates, top with grilled rockfish, and spoon tomatillo–avocado salsa over the fish. Add an extra lime wedge if you have it.

Health notes: ~550–700 calories/person. Lean protein, lots of veg, and a lighter starch. Keep it lighter by using minimal oil on the squash and fish.

Drink pairing: Tomatillo + avocado + grill smoke pair beautifully with high-acid whites and zesty rosé. Local WA tip: seek out a Columbia Gorge or Columbia Valley Sauvignon Blanc.
