In this simple recipe, Tri-Tip Steak is cooked in a rich gravy flavored with fennel, coriander, and paprika until it's so tender that it falls apart. It's a deeply comforting meal that's satisfying in a heart warming, soul gratifying, stick-to-your-ribs kind of way.

South Austin means different things to different people, but they’re generally referring to anything below the Colorado River—a wide stretch that runs between MoPac Expressway and I-35. If any area has led the charge in keeping Austin’s tech invasion at bay, it’s this one. Zilker Park, known for hiking trails and Barton Springs, is a refuge away from the sprawling apartment complexes eating up the pavement, and venues like Saxon Pub, The Far Out, The Broken Spoke, and Sagebrush help maintain the city's fun-loving music reputation. When you aren't swimming or dancing, there’s also an eclectic mix of restaurants, from upscale sushi to walk-up barbecue. Here are South Austin's best places to eat.

This spicy Cajun boil , inspired by one served at Charles Seafood in Harahan, Louisiana, has been a reader favorite since it first graced our pages in 2013. The key to a good boil is making sure your ingredients don’t overcook. Start with your vegetables and spices, then layer in your seafood last.

When temperatures reach a boiling point, the air is molasses-thick, and you can’t stomach the thought of standing next to a stove, there is only one solution: an outdoor crab feast. This Mid-Atlantic tradition is where pretense goes to die — it’s best enjoyed in the backyard, perhaps barefoot in a bathing suit, surrounded by family and friends. Steamed blue crabs are dumped by the bushel onto tablecloths made of newsprint and butcher paper, and quickly pilfered by hands encrusted in seafood seasoning. Side dishes lean summery simple, and the drink menu consists of canned beer still dripping wet from the cooler. Generations sit around the picnic table, each passing along advice on their preferred way to pick a crab, and conversation never gets heavier than the current score of the ballgame.

On any given weekend The Spurstowe Arms is filled with more cowboy boots and mullets than the Texas State Fair. And from Tuesdays to Sundays the unofficially Ganni-sponsored, Hackney pub serves excellent pizza courtesy of Dough Hands. They're self-proclaimed ‘London-style’ pizzas that fall somewhere between classic New York-style and Neapolitan. The toppings—tomato pie with stracciatella, or ‘nduja and hot honey—lean NYC, while the charred pillowy crusts and flop factor can lean slightly Neapolitan. Either way the thin pies are excellent. Our favourite is the aforementioned tomato pie, followed closely by the citrussy, spicy tuna.

Car ownership in SF isn’t for the weak. Some neighbor just had you towed, gas prices are climbing into “maybe I’ll bike to work” territory, and your feud with the SFMTA meter maids never seems to end. And circling the block for parking at a restaurant can be what sends you over the proverbial edge. Enter: these 11 spots. They each provide a stress-free parking experience, whether that’s a blissfully gigantic lot, a strip mall situation, or a dedicated drive-in area. Not all of the parking is free (one thing at a time, OK?), but these restaurants are all guaranteed to stop you from flinging your keys out the window.
