Easy, Delicious, Beef Recipes

Do you ever wonder what to make for dinner with your favorite cuts of beef?

Wonder no more. These are my tried-and-true family favorite beef recipes all gathered here in one place for easy reference. These recipes use anything from ground beef to chuck roasts or steak.

Without further ado – let’s get started!

Fall & Winter Beef Recipes

When the weather turns colder, I pull out my roasting pans, crock pots, fuzzy slippers, and soft sweaters and I think the Lord and the calendar for fall. I know it is super trendy to love fall and leggings and uggs, but you know what? People love those things because they are awesome. So it is time to grow up and stop saying I don’t give a crap about what other people think, and ACTUALLY NOT CARE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK. Work in progress, I know.

These homemade beef recipes are all things comfort food. From roasts to beef pot pies, to cozy skillet meals full of beef and mushrooms and sour cream, embrace the stretchy pants and let your fall cooking freak flag fly.

Instant Pot Roast with Gravy

Instant Pot Roast Beef and Gravy is my favorite midwest diner dinner quickly and easily cooked right on my counter-top in my electric pressure cooker. One of our winter standards, it can be served with mashed potatoes, french fries (you think it is weird but TRY IT OMGOSH), or even egg noodles.

French Onion Stuffed Meatballs

French Onion Stuffed Meatballs are one of my favorite things…ever. I can’t say enough good things about this recipe. Turn some simple ground beef into something feature-worthy, and tasty enough to impress your company.

Steak and Potato PIe

It is like a homemade pot pie, but simpler. Beef stew with a flaky golden crust. No matter what you call it, this Steak and Potato Pie is om nom nom nom awesome. (Embrace my nerdiness. I have.)

Herb Crusted Rib Roast

Just because the holidays are over doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy a tender and delicious herb crusted rib roast right at home. These cuts of meat are great any time of year.

Mexican Beef Recipes

These recipes were inspired by flavors south of the border! My Mexican Beef recipes aren’t ultra-authentic, but they ARE super delicious. Make them as mild or spicy as you’d like, and make sure that you have a fresh bottle of Tapatio! You’re going to need it!

Tequila Lime Shredded Beef Tacos

These tequila lime shredded beef tacos are incredible. Maybe the best tacos I’ve ever had. DEFINITELY the best tacos I’ve ever made. Plus – bonus points. They are SUPER easy. Shockingly, surprisingly easy.

It is like Mexican lasagna! I LOVE THIS!

Beefy Mexican Casserole is one of my sister-in-law’s specialties, and one of my kids’ favorites. Which was shocking to me because OMGosh it has BEANS! *gasp* and VEGETABLES! *nooooooo*.

Asian-Inspired Beef Recipes

My friends know that if you really want to make me happy, suggest something Asian for dinner. Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, alllllll of that. I’m game. Check out these homemade versions of some of my favorites, below.

Traeger Beef Jerky

Traeger Beef Jerky is a homemade spicy soy-based sauce coated in high-quality beef, and slow smoked on a pellet grill. It is a family favorite, and we make it over and over and over again. It has an added benefit of being much more economical than store-bought jerky, and with no added preservatives!

Mongolian Beef

Oh.YEAH. My favorite take-out dish, done at home? I’ll take one order, please. Now to just teach my kids how to cook it for me, then it’ll be Mongolian Beef on demand! Yay!

Steak bites are marinated in a soy-based sauce and quickly cooked. The marinade is then used as a sauce! YUM.

Tender and delicious steak bites are a perfect appetizer, or make it into a meal! These are a family favorite.
