Beef Bulgogi

Bulgogi (pronounced bool-goh-gee) is a Korean BBQ favorite that translates to "fire meat." It's made of thinly sliced marinated meat that's grilled on a barbecue or stovetop griddle. Despite its name, bulgogi is not really spicy; "fire" refers to the hot cooking surface. Making it at home is easy. I use well-marbled ribeye marinated in soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, shallot, ginger, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Heads up: the smell of bulgogi sizzling on the stove will have your family circling like hungry wolves—but it cooks in under 10 minutes, so no one has to wait long!

My husband's all-time favorite dessert is the signature coconut cream pie from The Capital Grille in Washington, DC. Hoping to surprise him for his birthday one year, I took a chance and emailed the restaurant manager asking for the recipe. To my surprise, he sent it to me! Of course, like most restaurant recipes, it was scaled to feed an army, so I had to do some tweaking. But the result was nothing short of dreamy! Think: a coconut-scented cookie crust filled with creamy coconut custard, topped with pillowy whipped cream and heaps of toasted coconut.
