Fall Veggie Hot Honey Bowl with sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts and lean ground turkey — USA recipe

🇺🇸USAAdvanced

Meat Dishes

Fall Veggie Hot Honey Bowl

Roasted sweet potato and Brussels sprouts, ground turkey with warm autumn spices, cottage cheese, avocado, and a maple Dijon drizzle — or hot honey if you want to keep it simple. The Brussels sprouts are the key: roasted cut-side down at high heat, they caramelize at the edges and become nutty and faintly sweet.

Feijoada with black beans, carne seca and paio sausage — Brazil recipe

🇧🇷BrazilAdvanced

Meat Dishes

Feijoada

Feijoada is the black bean and pork stew eaten across Brazil, most often on Wednesdays and Saturdays and almost always as the only dish of the meal. Salt-cured and smoked pork cook slowly with black beans until the beans give up enough starch to turn the liquid into a dark, thick broth. The set of meats matters more than any seasoning: carne seca for salt and depth, smoked ribs for smoke, paio and calabresa for spice and fat. Origin stories tying it to slave quarters and discarded offcuts are widespread but historically contested, since bean and pork stews were already common in Portugal. Bean soaking and desalting the cured meat happen the day before.

Fraldinha with fraldinha, cassava flour and red onion — Brazil recipe

🇧🇷BrazilMedium

Meat Dishes

Fraldinha

Fraldinha is the Brazilian name for the bottom sirloin flap, a long flat muscle with coarse fibres and a loose grain that sits between the flank and the sirloin. It is one of the pillars of churrasco, cooked over charcoal with nothing on it but coarse salt, because the cut already carries enough fat and connective tissue to season itself. What makes or breaks it is not the fire but the knife: the grain is unusually visible and unusually coarse, and slicing along it instead of across it produces meat that no amount of chewing will get through. It is served with vinagrete and farofa, both of which are made while the coals come up to temperature.

Frikadellen (German Pan-Fried Meat Patties) with minced pork and beef, bread roll and onion — Germany recipe

🇩🇪GermanyMedium

Meat Dishes

Frikadellen (German Pan-Fried Meat Patties)

Germany's everyday meat patty: minced pork and beef bound with a soaked bread roll, seasoned with mustard, marjoram, and plenty of onion, then fried flat in a pan rather than grilled. The soaked roll is what keeps them tender, and they're eaten as often cold from the fridge with mustard as hot with potatoes.

Galbi-jjim (Korean Braised Short Ribs) with beef short ribs, korean pear and korean radish — Korea recipe

Meat Dishes

Galbi-jjim (Korean Braised Short Ribs)

Galbi-jjim is Korea's celebration dish — beef short ribs braised low and slow in a dark, glossy soy sauce until the meat slides from the bone. Grated Korean pear tenderizes the beef and lends a clean sweetness that balances the salt, while radish, carrot, shiitake, chestnuts, and jujubes soak up the sauce alongside it. Served at holidays and family gatherings, it's the kind of dish that fills a house with its smell for hours.

Garlic Butter Chicken with Rice with chicken, rice and butter — USA recipe

Meat Dishes

Garlic Butter Chicken with Rice

Chicken thighs seared skin-side down until the fat renders and the skin turns deep gold, then finished in the oven on a bed of garlic-butter rice that absorbs all the drippings. The rice cooks in chicken fat and broth simultaneously — which is why it tastes nothing like rice made separately. One pan, under 40 minutes, 38g of protein per serving.

Ground Beef and Potato Skillet

Ground beef and potatoes in one pan, done in 35 minutes. No advance prep, no separate boiling. The beef goes in first and builds a fond on the bottom of the pan; the potatoes cook in that flavoured fat with a splash of broth and a lid on top. It's the kind of meal that doesn't ask much of you on a weeknight.

Gyro with pork shoulder, Greek yogurt and cucumber — Greece recipe

🇬🇷GreeceAdvanced

Meat Dishes

Gyro

Thin-sliced seasoned pork roasted until the edges turn crisp and golden, served in warm pita with tzatziki, tomato, and onion. The restaurant gyros is cooked on a vertical rotisserie — meat stacked in layers, spinning slowly, the outer crust shaved off in strips as it crisps. At home, the closest result comes from threading marinated pork pieces onto a vertical skewer propped over an onion half in a roasting pan, then finishing under the grill. The marinade is oregano, paprika, cumin, garlic, vinegar, and olive oil. The tzatziki is made from scratch and is not optional.
