Crunchy Winter Cabbage Slaw (Light, Vinegar-Forward) — Serves 2

A bright, crunchy, lighter slaw that pairs perfectly with pulled pork. Winter-friendly for WA (cabbage + carrots) and keeps well for a Super Bowl spread. This version is vinegar-forward with an optional light yogurt boost—no heavy mayo.

Ingredients

  • Organic Green Cabbage 1/2 medium head (about 4–5 cups thinly sliced) $1.69 per 1 lb
  • Organic Carrots Bunch (or Rainbow Baby Carrots) 1 large carrot, grated (about 1 cup) $2.50 per bunch (or $2.49 per 12 oz)
  • Organic Jumbo Yellow or Red Onion 1/4 small onion, very thinly sliced (optional) $1.49–$1.59 per 1 lb
  • Apple cider vinegar 2 1/2 tbsp
  • Olive oil 1 tbsp
  • Plain Greek yogurt (optional) 2 tbsp (optional, replaces some oil feel with protein)
  • Dijon mustard 1 tsp
  • Celery seed (optional but classic) 1/2 tsp
  • Salt & black pepper To taste
  • Red pepper flakes (optional) Pinch
  • Lemon (optional) 1–2 tsp juice

Instructions

  1. Slice cabbage very thinly and add to a large bowl. Add grated carrot and optional onion.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk vinegar, olive oil, Dijon, celery seed, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. (If using Greek yogurt, whisk it in until smooth.)
  3. Pour dressing over slaw and toss very well for 30 seconds to lightly soften the cabbage.
  4. Let rest 10–15 minutes, then toss again. Taste and adjust: more vinegar for tang, salt for punch, or a little lemon for brightness.
  5. Serve chilled or at cool room temp. Holds well 1–2 days refrigerated (it will soften slightly, which many people like for parties).

Health notes: High-fiber, veggie-forward, low added sugar. Use olive oil + vinegar for dairy-free; use Greek yogurt for extra protein while staying light.

Drink pairing: Crisp pilsner, dry cider, or sparkling water with lemon.

Stovetop-Seared Petite Sirloin with Chimichurri + Roasted Brussels Sprouts & Yukon Mash

A fast, steakhouse-feeling dinner that leans into WA winter produce: seared sirloin with a punchy chimichurri, plus deeply caramelized roasted Brussels sprouts and creamy Yukon Gold mash. Bright, herby, and satisfying in under an hour.

Ingredients

  • Choice Petite Sirloin Beef Steak (sale) 1 lb (2 small steaks or 1 large) $10.99 sale (was $11.99) per 1 lb
  • Brussels Sprouts (fresh) 12–16 oz, halved $3.29 per 1 lb
  • Organic Yukon Gold Potatoes 1 lb, cut into 1-inch chunks $3.99 per 3 lb
  • Organic Jumbo Red Onion 1/4 onion, very finely minced (for chimichurri) $1.59 per 1 lb
  • Simple Truth Organic® Garlic Bulbs (3 ct) 2 cloves, minced $1.99
  • Fresh parsley (or cilantro if you have it) 1 packed cup, finely chopped
  • Red wine vinegar 2 tbsp
  • Olive oil 6 tbsp, divided
  • Butter 1–2 tbsp (optional, for mash)
  • Crushed red pepper flakes Pinch to 1/2 tsp
  • Salt & black pepper To taste
  • Lemon (optional) 1/2, for finishing chimichurri

Instructions

  1. Prep: Heat oven to 425°F. Set a large pot of salted water on the stove for potatoes. Pat steak dry; season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Roast the Brussels sprouts: Toss halved sprouts with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread cut-side down on a sheet pan. Roast 18–25 minutes until deeply browned and tender, tossing once halfway.
  3. Boil potatoes: Add potatoes to boiling water and cook 12–15 minutes until very tender. Drain well and return to pot.
  4. Make chimichurri: In a bowl, combine parsley, minced red onion, 1 minced garlic clove, red wine vinegar, pinch of red pepper flakes, and 4 tbsp olive oil. Season with salt/pepper. Add a squeeze of lemon if you like. Let sit while steak cooks.
  5. Mash: Mash potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil and butter (if using). Season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
  6. Sear steak (stove): Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high until very hot. Add a thin film of oil. Sear steak 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (or to your preferred doneness). If thick, lower heat and cook 1–2 minutes more per side. Rest 5 minutes.
  7. Finish & serve: Slice steak against the grain. Spoon chimichurri over steak. Plate with roasted Brussels sprouts and Yukon mash.

Health notes: ~850–950 calories per serving (depends on butter/oil). Healthiness: Moderate—high protein and iron; add extra greens or reduce butter for lighter.

Drink pairing: Wine: Washington State Cabernet Sauvignon (e.g., Château Ste. Michelle Cabernet). Beer: a WA amber ale.
