Orange Beef
This recipe for takeout-style orange beef is a variation on one the Brooklyn chef Dale Talde included in his new cookbook, "Asian-American: Proudly Inauthentic Recipes From the Philippines to Brooklyn," with a slightly more intensely flavored orange-flavored sauce. Mr. Talde's key insight is protected, however: Use very good steak, and cook it fast, so that below the lovely crust of its egg-white-and-cornstarch batter, the meat remains rare and luscious. Serve with steamed broccoli and white rice. And make it a few times. What appears difficult the first time through — the coating of the beef, the making of the sauce, the stir-frying of the aromatics, the stir-frying of the beef — is in fact fast and easy work, and much, much better than takeout.

Hunan Beef With Cumin
This fragrant beef stir-fry is an adaptation of one found in Fuchsia Dunlop's “Revolutionary Chinese Cookbook,” whose subject is the food of Sichuan’s less celebrated eastern neighbor, Hunan province. Cumin, a spice rarely used in Chinese cooking, chiles, chile flakes and garlic create a heated yet sophisticated flavor profile.

Bone Broth
"Bone broth" has become stylish as part of the Paleo diet, which enthusiastically recommends eating meat and bones. (The idea is to eat like our Paleolithic, pre-agricultural ancestors.) But cooks have known its wonderful qualities for centuries. This robust and savory beef broth — more than a stock, less than a soup — can be the basis for innumerable soups and stews, but it also makes a satisfying and nourishing snack on its own.

Pot Roast With Cranberries
There's more to the cranberry than sauce, you know, and this simple roast is happy, yet unexpected, proof. Its preparation is as simple as can be: generously dust the meat with sugar then sear in a skillet. Once browned, toss in a bag of cranberries, orange peel, orange juice, a good half cup of sherry vinegar and a pinch of cayenne. Cover and simmer until tender. It's a lively, perfectly-balanced, cold-weather meal. It also makes a mercifully easy Christmas main.
