beef cooking
Cooking beef is one of the simplest and most enjoyable ways to enjoy a delicious meal. Whether you’re looking for a quick weeknight dinner or a savory Sunday feast, beef can provide a hearty and delicious meal. To get you started, here are some of our favorite beef recipes.
For a classic weeknight meal, try a comforting beef stew. Start by searing one pound of beef stew meat in a large pot. Add two chopped onions, two chopped carrots, two celery stalks, and two cloves of garlic. Pour in two cups of beef broth and bring to a boil. Add one bay leaf, some thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for one hour, or until the beef is tender. Serve with mashed potatoes or egg noodles.
If you’re looking for something a bit more special, try a beef Wellington. Start by seasoning one and a half pounds of beef tenderloin with salt and pepper. Sear the beef in a pan over high heat and set aside. Spread a layer of Dijon mustard over the top of the beef and top with a layer of prosciutto, followed by a layer of sautéed mushrooms. Roll the beef up in the prosciutto and mushrooms and wrap with puff pastry. Bake in a preheated 425-degree oven for 20 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and the pastry is golden brown. Serve with roasted potatoes and a side salad.
For a budget-friendly meal, try a beef stir-fry. Begin by marinating one pound of sliced beef in a mixture of soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic. Heat some oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and stir-fry for five minutes. Add one cup of sliced bell peppers, one cup of sliced onion, and one cup of sliced mushrooms. Stir-fry for an additional five minutes. Add one tablespoon of cornstarch and one tablespoon of water, stirring until the sauce thickens. Serve over steamed rice.
Whether you’re looking for a classic comfort meal or something a bit more special, cooking beef can be a delicious way to enjoy a meal. With these recipes, you’ll be sure to please even the pickiest eaters at the dinner table. Enjoy!
