AL FRESCO
DINING
PREP IN ADVANCE
When hosting an outdoor cookout, prep as
much as you can in advance. Wash and cut
fresh fruits and vegetables, marinate beef and
poultry, and cook whole grains a day or two
ahead of time.
GRILL VEGGIES LIKE A PRO
While grilled veggies exhibit tender-crisp
textures and deliciously smoky flavors, they
require a few tips and tricks to cook just right.
Choose varieties that can stand up to the heat of
the grill, such as zucchini, potatoes, asparagus,
broccoli, and cauliflower. Brush veggies with
olive oil or marinate before grilling to add flavor
and prevent sticking. Vegetables also vary in
how long they take to cook on the grill. Try
searing over high heat, then placing away from
the heat source to finish cooking.
SHEET TRAY
CHILE-LIME
STEAK FAJITAS
INGREDIENTS
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• ¼ cup canola oil
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp ground black pepper
• 1/3 cup fresh lime juice
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp brown sugar
• 1¼ pounds boneless top round
steaks, thinly sliced
• 3 medium green, red and/or
yellow bell peppers, thinly sliced
• 1 medium yellow onion, thinly
sliced
• 8 (6-inch) corn tortillas
• Toppings: pico de gallo,
guacamole, sour cream, and/
or lime wedges for garnish
(optional)
DIRECTIONS
1. In small bowl, whisk garlic, oil, cumin, salt, and black pepper; reserve
half the oil mixture in large bowl, cover and refrigerate. Whisk lime juice,
cilantro, pepper flakes, and sugar into remaining oil mixture; add steaks
and lime juice mixture to large zip-top plastic bag. Seal bag, pressing
out excess air; refrigerate at least 2 or up to 8 hours.
2. Position 2 oven racks to center and next lower positions; preheat oven
to 475°. Place rimmed baking pan on center rack; preheat 10 minutes.
3. Add bell peppers and onion to reserved oil mixture and toss; spread on
hot pan and roast 5 minutes.
4. Remove steaks from marinade; discard marinade. Push pepper-onion
mixture to 1 side of pan; place steaks on opposite side. Wrap tortillas in
aluminum foil.
5. Roast steaks and vegetables on center rack and tortillas on lower rack
5 minutes or until vegetables are tender and internal temperature of
steaks reaches 140° for medium-rare; let stand 5 minutes. (Internal
temperature will rise 5 to 10° upon standing.) Serve steaks and pepperonion
mixture with tortillas and toppings, if desired.
SERVE CONDIMENTS IN
MUFFIN TINS
To enjoy condiments during picnics or
barbeques without carting individual bottles,
pour different sauces and toppings into
separate muffin compartments. Set a serving
spoon in each vessel, and cover with plastic
wrap or aluminum foil between uses.
SERVE SAFE FOOD
Keep food at the proper temperature to prevent
the growth of food-borne bacteria. The key is
to never let food remain in the “danger zone,”
between 40° and 140°, for more than two hours,
or one hour if outdoor temperatures are above
90°F. Always remember to thoroughly clean and
sanitize hands, surfaces and utensils, too.
MAKE CREATIVE, DUAL-
PURPOSE ICE PACKS
Instead of adding extra components to your
already-packed cooler, freeze a few water
bottles ahead of time, and use them as ice
packs to keep your food cold. Remove paper
labels on bottles and be sure lids are tightly
secured before freezing. When the bottles melt
back into water, enjoy an ice-cold beverage to
cool off.

TIME-SAVING
COOKING TIPS
Follow these suggestions to
create easy, flavorful meals while
saving valuable time, money,
and energy.
COOK ONCE, EAT TWICE
Plan meals that will last longer and ease your
cooking tasks for the week. Cook proteins that
can easily transition into double-duty meals. For
example, put aside some cooked ground beef
from a chili recipe to make tacos throughout the
week, or make a large batch of rice or pasta for
several quick and easy dishes. You’ll save tons of
time by not having to cook from scratch twice.
FREEZE FOR LATER
Don’t think you’ll eat your large batches before
they spoil? No problem – freeze them! The
freezer is key for saving both the integrity of
your ingredients and time! Prep and freeze
elements of your favorite recipes or freeze the
entire dish. Simply thaw and reheat whatever
you’re craving.
CHOOSE PASSIVE COOKING
TECHNIQUES
Cooking appliances can help you prepare
flavorful meals more easily. Meals made in a
slow cooker, rice cooker, pressure cooker, or
air fryer are great for nights you want to set it
and forget about it. Take advantage of these
gadgets that do the heavy lifting plus alleviate
cleaning stress.
SAVVY SHORTCUTS
Slicing and dicing ingredients for meal prep is
time-consuming. Pick up ready-to-cook veggies
in the Produce Department at your local Price
Chopper – we have prewashed greens, prechopped
vegetable medleys, shaved Brussels
sprouts, and more time-saving shortcuts. Or,
