Easy Weeknight Recipes for Busy Days

In the first episode of Pressure's ON, bubbly host Vanessa Gianfrancesco cooks her way from Monday to Thursday with four delicious dishes. On Monday night, it's all about comfort food with a steaming hot seafood stew spiked with wine and fresh tomatoes. With her trusty multi-cooker set to high, the succulent seafood mix tastes as though it was cooking all day. Is it Tuesday already? Just because it's a weeknight, doesn't mean you can't cook a classic Sunday meal of moist Roast Beef with roasted potatoes and tender vegetables. Using one pot to sear her roast before adding flavorful beef broth, potatoes, and carrots, she steams the ingredients at a high temperature and after a short few minutes, she's enjoying a melt-in-your-mouth meal. By Wednesday, Vanessa uses leftovers from her tender roast beef to whip up a delicious sandwich with a beef dip. Using the beef drippings, she cooks up a heavenly au jus and then slices up the tender meat, piling it high on a fresh baguette. By Thursday, Vanessa is craving a dessert and uses her multi-cooker to make a velvety Earl Grey Pudding with caramelized figs.
