The Main Event
For a low-effort entrée with big, bold flavors, skip the marinade. Seriously! Grill your protein of choice and sauce it up once it's off the heat.
THE METHOD + THE SAUCES
Season the protein (chicken, beef, pork, seafood, lamb, tofu, whatever!) generously with kosher salt and black pepper, grill it, and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Slice if you like, pour on one of our flavor-packed sauces (which you can make ahead of time-just bring to room temp before serving), and sprinkle on some flaky sea salt and fresh herbs. Each recipe makes enough to sauce 2 to 3 pounds of protein.
Cilantro-GarlicYogurt Sauce
Place 2 roughly chopped scallions, 2 roughly chopped garlic cloves, 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 Tbsp. lime juice, 1/2 tsp. finely chopped jalapeño, and 1 tsp. kosher salt in a food processor. Process, scraping down sides of bowl as needed, until smooth, about 30 seconds.
Tomato Vinaigrette
Heat 2 Tbsp. olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-low. Add 1 anchovy fillet; mash into a paste with a wooden spoon. Add 2 finely chopped garlic cloves; cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add 1 pt. grape tomatoes and 1/2 tsp. kosher salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are softened and some have burst, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 Tbsp. red wine vinegar, ¹/2 tsp.Dijon mustard, and 2 Tbsp. olive oil.
Lemon-Cumin Sauce
Whisk 1/2 cup olive oil, 2 tsp. lemon zest, 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 2 tsp. ground cumin, 1 tsp. dried oregano, 1 tsp. kosher salt, 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper, and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper in a medium bowl until combined.

THE BEST
Sometimes it's not enough for our editors to be instantly impressed by a product. Sometimes we want to push it to the limits in one of our three labs, our own homes, or both to see how it holds up under pressure. We cook, we wear, we smear, we clean. We evaluate and tally. Then we give out the REAL SIMPLE Selects seal. When we put that label on something, that means it's among the 5,200-plus products we've formally evaluated according to strict protocols. On this list: some of our current faves. If you see something you like, scan the QR code and get shopping!
