beef cooking
Cooking beef doesn’t have to be intimidating! Whether you’re looking for a delicious beef stew recipe or a simple steak dinner, there are plenty of delicious and easy beef recipes to choose from.
Let’s start with the basics: when it comes to cooking beef, it is important to understand the difference between cuts of beef. Generally speaking, the most tender beef cuts are the most expensive, such as ribeye and tenderloin. These cuts are best cooked quickly over high heat. Less tender cuts, such as chuck and round, are best cooked slowly over low heat.
Now that you know the basics, it’s time to get cooking! For a delicious beef stew, you’ll want to start with a good cut of beef, such as chuck. Trim any excess fat and cut the beef into small chunks. Heat some oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat and add the beef. Cook the beef until it is browned, then add diced carrots, celery, potatoes, and onions. Pour in some beef broth and season with salt and pepper. Bring the stew to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for two hours, or until the beef is tender.
For a delicious steak dinner, start with a high-quality steak. Season both sides with salt and pepper and let it come to room temperature before cooking. Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet or cast-iron pan over high heat until it’s very hot. Add a little oil, then add the steak. Cook it for 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
These are just a few example of delicious and easy beef recipes. Whether you’re looking for a hearty stew or a juicy steak, cooking beef can be easy and delicious!
