The September issue of Martha Stewart Living is the “home issue”–which is an appropriate place to debut our new cooking column, The Confident Cook because–the ideas come directly from home and the real life meals that spring from daily family cooking. Here is the springboard/inspiration for the focus of our first column, the fabulous flat steaks. These are really affordable and delicious steaks that you might not have considered buying before: Flank, Skirt and Hangar.
Check out the issue for all the how’s and why’s on my favorite steaks (not to mention a huge array of home decorating and styling tips, something I desperately need) AND–more fantastic recipes from our crazy talented test kitchen crew of food editors at Taste of the Test Kitchen.

The salad dressing Lucinda’s mother Rose made every night got two million views on TikTok. A lettuce recall, a pair of measuring spoons, and a damn good dressing. Recipe included. -
Our prior dog had passed. We weren’t sure we wanted another. Then a cinnamon-colored puppy named Lychee was the last one left at the Cape Ann Animal Shelter. -
Every tool we make has to do more than one job. Lucinda on where that rule came from, the Super Spoon, and a 100-year-old potato masher called a Beetle. -
A dish from Al Forno in Providence that Lucinda never forgot, and finally made from memory twenty years later: creamy double corn polenta with a crater of tomatoes on top. -
Tomatoes, beets and peaches at their peak, together on one platter. Salt, oil, herbs, and nature does the rest.

I've only cooked steak once and that turned out pretty good, so I will give the steak a go when the magazine comes out. I've been hearing great things about the issue already.

Loved this article. We are big fans of flank in our house. I'm going to give skirt another try with your Latin marinade.

I have not been able to watch your new fall season show. It is now one hour later because of Emeril’s shows. I am really missing the videos clips that went with most of your recipes last seasons. Will this feature ever be restored?
Thank you, Andrea
