The Best Ways to Cook

It’s a well-known fact that beef is extraordinarily adaptable, so you’ll have endless ways to work with it. For dinner nights, however, we recommend the following cooking methods to create dishes that are simple and easy, yet immensely tasty:

• Stir-frying

If you want to make a quick, easy, and flavorful dinner, stir-frying beef is the way to go. It’s as simple as tossing the beef into a pan to cook alongside various veggies and condiments. You can prepare a delicious, comforting meal to serve on busy weekends, ready to be served, in less than 15 minutes.

• Baking

Although it may take longer than stir-frying, baking is undoubtedly still an effortless way to whip up high-quality beef dishes. Simply leave everything in a baking dish and let the oven do the rest. This is an especially great way put together a dish with enough flavor complexity and volume to wow an entire crowd.

• Slow Cooking

There’s something indescribably comforting about a hot steaming pot of beef soup or stew. The slow cooking method gives the ingredients time to blend into one another, creating a hearty mixture that satisfies your taste buds with warm flavors and tender textures.

What Does Beef Go Well With?

Beef is also versatile in the myriad of ingredients that you can pair it with. Here are a few foolproof choices that would work well in almost any dish:

• Roasted Vegetables

Roasted veggies are coated in a caramelized sweetness that instantly enhances the beef’s savory taste. What’s more, it’s quite easy to put together. 

All you need to do is season your chosen vegetables and leave them in the oven to cook. It’s a no-fuss choice that would go well with almost any beef dish, whether as a side serve or a full-on side dish.

• Mashed Potatoes

A creamy and decadent side of mashed potatoes will instantly elevate your beef main course, turning it into a bistro-style dinner. This side is typically served with steak, stews, bourguignon, or other classic beef dishes to round out the meal and make it more filling.

• Mushrooms

Mushrooms’ earthy notes are wonderfully complementary to the beef’s rich and savory taste. You can sauté them with various aromatics and leafy greens to make a side dish, or mix them with balsamic vinegar, heavy cream, white wine, etc., for a rich sauce to submerge the meat in. It’ll make an enjoyable pairing either way.
