Monday
Meal: Pan-Seared Bone-In Sirloin Pork Chops with Roasted Red Potatoes and Bell Peppers

Serving note: Purchase approximately 1.5 lbs of bone-in sirloin pork chops (about 2 chops) at $1.69/lb; use roughly 1 lb of potatoes from the 5 lb bag; use 1 bell pepper split between both plates. The family pack is the sale-priced option - freeze remaining chops for later use.

Thursday
Meal: Baked Smithfield Marinated Pork Loin Fillets with Coleslaw
Description: A Smithfield marinated pork loin fillet is roasted in the oven until tender and flavorful, with the marinade doing all the seasoning work for a nearly hands-off dinner. It is served alongside a simple, creamy coleslaw made from the Dole coleslaw mix and a quick dressing.
Sale items used: Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork Loin Fillets ($4.99 each), Dole Coleslaw ($1.29 each), Duke's Mayonnaise ($4.99 each), Mayfield Sour Cream ($1.99 each)
Prep time: 50 minutes (35 minutes active, 15 minutes resting)
Serving note: One Smithfield marinated pork loin fillet (18.4-23 oz) is the right size for 2 people with possible leftovers; use the full 14 oz bag of Dole coleslaw mix; combine 2 tablespoons each of Duke's mayo and Mayfield sour cream for the dressing. Make-ahead tip: mix the coleslaw up to 2 hours before dinner and refrigerate so it softens nicely.

Friday
Meal: Pan-Seared USDA Choice Black Canyon Angus Boneless Beef Top Sirloin Steaks with Bone-In Chicken Breast Salad Topper
Description: Two USDA Choice Black Canyon Angus boneless beef top sirloin steaks are seared to a perfect crust and served as the centerpiece, topped with sliced pan-seared bone-in chicken breast over a crisp iceberg lettuce salad with beefsteak tomato and croutons. This surf-and-turf-style plate feels special but stays well within budget thanks to this week's sale prices.
Sale items used: USDA Choice Black Canyon Angus Boneless Beef Top Sirloin Steaks Family Pack ($7.99/lb), Bone-In Chicken Breasts Family Pack ($1.69/lb), Iceberg Lettuce (2 for $3.00), Beefsteak Tomatoes ($1.49/lb), Best Choice Croutons ($1.58 each), Best Choice Salad Dressing ($2.09 each)
Prep time: 45 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1 lb of top sirloin (2 steaks) at $7.99/lb; purchase approximately 1 lb of bone-in chicken breasts at $1.69/lb (1-2 pieces); use 1 head of iceberg lettuce and about 0.5 lb of beefsteak tomato. Freeze remaining family pack portions of both meats. Make-ahead tip: cook the chicken breast first, let it rest, then slice it while the steaks sear so everything finishes at the same time.
