The Essential Ingredients
- Beef Chuck Steak: Cut from the shoulder area, this cut is ideal for grilling, braising, or slow cooking. It has a deep beefy flavor, good marbling, and, when cooked low and slow, is tender and juicy.
- Zucchini: This green summer squash has a mild flavor and tender texture. It’s an incredibly versatile vegetable, used in many savory dishes, stir-fries and even baked goods.
- Balsamic Vinegar: A dark vinegar that originated in Italy. It has a sweet, tart taste from aging in wooden barrels. It’s a great addition to salads as a dressing, or cooked slowly over low heat (reduced) for a thicker drizzle on salads, fruit, or cheese.
- Olive Oil: A golden, flavorful natural oil made by pressing olives. It has a rich yet neutral flavor and is commonly used for cooking, sauteing, and drizzling over salads or vegetables. It has a relatively high smoke point and is good for cooking while using high heat.
