Black Pepper Beef

This is NOT your average stir-fry, this is insanely delicious, glossy, Black Pepper Beef. It’s ready super quickly and is made with simple, recognisable ingredients from the supermarket. I’m using chuck steak which when tenderised (with bicarb/baking soda), transforms into restaurant-style, meltingly tender beef.

We make a conscious effort to prepare most of our meals at home and it’s meals like this that are quick and easy, that help us save money and reduce waste, without having to spend hours in the kitchen.

Once the stir-fry prep is done it’s onto a simple marinade for our tenderised beef. The beef is cooked in batches before the veg are added to the same pan with some pantry staples that create the most amazing sauce. The amount of pepper used determines the spice level and I’ve included black loads of different options in the recipe. We serve with either steamed rice or noodles, save this one for the next time you need some dinner inspiration, you will love it!

Let’s make dinner: Chicken with Creamy Red Pesto Risoni (Orzo)

There are dinners that feel fancy… and then there are dinners that are fancy (but secretly took 30 minutes and one pan). This is that.

✔️ Juicy pan-seared chicken
✔️ A creamy, cheesy red pesto sauce
✔️ Risoni + sneaky veggies = full meal
✔️ On the table in 30
✔️ No washing up party afterward 🙌

CHICKEN
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 500 g/1 lb 2 oz) halved horizontally to make 4 thinner steaks (see note 1 in recipe if you want to use thigh fillets)
1 tsp sweet paprika
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp sea salt flakes
¼ tsp cracked black pepper
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup (60 ml) water

Pork Chops with Homemade Gravy

This is the kind of recipe I add to the meal plan when I know the week’s going to be a lot.

It’s quick (30 minutes), uses pantry staples, and comes with a rich, glossy homemade gravy that’s made with simple ingredients. I serve it with mashed potatoes that I make in bulk and freeze just to make it even easier and faster but it’s always great with steamed rice or crusty bread. Sometimes when I want an extra speedy
It’s simple, comforting, and makes dinner feel sorted – even when the day’s been a juggle.
