Beef is the backbone of this site, and these recipes cover the whole range: fast steaks for the grill or broiler, slow-baked casseroles, meatballs for a crowd and a quick stovetop stew. Every recipe lists prep time, cook time, servings and step-by-step instructions.
If you are cooking a steak, start with the Cast-Iron Ribeye, Grilled New York Strip or Filet Mignon with Red Wine Pan Sauce, use the Reverse-Seared Steak method for a really thick cut, or go big with a Prime Rib Roast, and check our steak guide for doneness temperatures. For a hands-off weeknight dinner, Texas Hash, Zippy Beef Casserole and the Beef Steak and Potato Scallop all bake in a single dish. Planning a party? Teriyaki Meatballs feed ten and the Thai Cobb Steak Salad is written for a crowd of 24.
