Update and lighten up a standard meat and potatoes combo with thin strips of sirloin steak and a side of smashed rutabaga.
375 g sirloin steak, cut into thin strips
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp fresh-ground black pepper
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, thinly sliced
227-g pkg sliced button mushrooms
1/2 cup red wine
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
Combine beef with soy, cornstarch and pepper in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium. Add 2 tsp oil, then onion and mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms are soft, about 5 min. Move mushroom mixture to one side of the pan. Increase heat to medium-high. Add remaining oil to other side of pan, then beef. Cook beef, stirring frequently, until almost cooked through, about 3 min. Add wine and stir beef and mushroom mixtures together for 2 more min. Stir in dill and scoop onto 4 plates.

Herbed beef with root mash - Pair it with: An understated red. Although the nebbiolo grape (found in barolos) gets all the press, the barbera varietal makes some outstanding food-friendly wines. The beautiful black fruits and spicy oak pair perfectly with hearty, comforting meals. Our pick: Pio Cesare Barbera d’Alba, Italy, $20.
