By applying even pressure across the steak, it ensures that the meat cooks uniformly, preventing uneven hot spots that can lead to an undercooked or charred exterior. Additionally, using a meat press can help to sear the steak more effectively, locking in those delightful juices and giving you that coveted crust that steak enthusiasts crave.

For a heartier meal, try a flower-inspired vegetable stew. You can use seasonal vegetables like carrots, zucchini, and cauliflower, incorporating edible flowers like squash blossoms. The Dutch oven’s ability to hold heat will coax out the flavors of the vegetables while maintaining their vibrant colors. Add a splash of white wine and fresh herbs to intensify the aroma, and let it simmer until the vegetables are tender and the flavors are deepened. This stew not only satisfies the stomach but also captivates the eye with pops of color.
