What to Serve with Garlic Steak Bites

I’m a meat and potatoes kinda gal, so I love serving these garlic butter beef tips with creamy mashed potatoes, crispy baked potatoes or buttery roasted potatoes. If you aren’t a potato fan, this is also great over rice or pasta.

Ingredients for Greek Chicken and Rice

Here’s what you’ll need to make this flavorful Greek Chicken and Rice dish. Most of these ingredients are pantry or fridge staples, making it easy to pull together any night of the week.

Greek Chicken Thighs

  • Chicken Thighs: Juicy, flavorful dark meat that stays tender and moist during cooking.
  • Dried Oregano: A staple Mediterranean herb with earthy, slightly peppery notes.
  • Dried Thyme: Adds a warm, woodsy flavor that complements the other herbs.
  • Paprika: Brings a subtle smokiness and beautiful color to the dish.
  • Garlic Powder: A quick way to add mellow, savory garlic flavor throughout.
  • Kosher Salt: Enhances the natural flavors of the chicken and rice.
  • Red Pepper Flakes: Adds a subtle kick of heat to balance the lemon and herbs.

Carrian’s Notes

I love the look and flavor of bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts, but they take much longer to cook. For this recipe, I don’t recommend using them to keep things quick and easy.

Greek Lemon Rice

  • Olive Oil: Used to sauté and add richness to the rice and toppings.
  • Grape Tomatoes: Sweet, juicy bursts of flavor that roast beautifully.
  • Garlic: Freshly min

Korean Ground Beef Noodles [+Video]

Want a quick and easy ground beef recipe that’s ready in less than 30 minutes? Korean ground beef noodles are the perfect recipe for when you’ve had a busy day. The flavorful sauce on the almost crisp beef is our new favorite dish!

You all went crazy for our Korean Ground Beef and I just knew you needed an even better version. Asian Noodles with ground beef is a game-changer!!

Have you ever had a take out dish that’s so crazy good you literally cannot stop eating it even though you physically are stuffed? This is that recipe!!

I love mixing it up by throwing in sauteed veggies, fresh edamame or even using only the sauce and skipping the meat entirely. I cannot wait to hear how much you all love this dish too (plus it’s so fun to be learning your names and where you’re from) so leave a comment!!

What Do I Need to Make Korean Ground Beef Noodles?

For being as flavorful as it is, you really don’t need many ingredients. Most of them are pantry staples, so you have no excuse not to make this for dinner asap! Here is everything you’ll need:

  • Spaghetti: Any long, thin pasta will work great like linguine or vermicelli. You could also use angel hair pasta, or rice, ramen, glass, or udon noodles.
    • NOTE: For a low carb option, use zucchini noodles!
  • Canola or Vegetable Oil: Used to help brown and crisp up the beef.
  • Ground Beef: Use 80/20 or 85/15 for the best flavor.
    • NOTE: If you want to lighten this up a little, use ground chicken or lean ground turkey!
  • Garlic: Adds flavor.
  • Soy Sauce: I like to use low sodium soy sauce so that I can control the saltiness more.
  • Orange Juice: Fresh OJ is preferred but you can use store bought if needed. Make sure there’s no added sugar. Adds tanginess and fresh citrus flavor.
  • Brown Sugar: Adds sweetness and rich flavor to the stick sauce.
  • Sweet Chili Sauce: Adds a little more sweetness and a tiny bit of heat.
    • NOTE: If you like a little heat and want even more authentic Korean flavor, replace the sweet chili sauce with gochujang hot pepper paste.
  • Toasted Sesame Oil: Adds that signature Asian flavor.
  • Cornstarch: Helps thicken the sauce.
  • Green Onions: Adds a pop of fresh flavor.
