    Easy Beef Recipes

    You can’t eat chicken every night of the week.  Make your dinner special by adding some tasty beef recipes to your rotation. Whether it’s a simple steak or fancy beef bourguignon, beef is so versatile.  I’ve showcased some of my favorite tasty beef recipes that you'll love to make.

    The best ground beef recipes range from my version of a smash burger with special sauce to ground beef with bbq sauce baked in a pizza crust. You could go without a bun and make burgers topped with pineapple or simmered in a stroganoff sauce.

    Or make that ground beef into meatballs and serve with a sour cream sauce over egg noodles.  There’s nothing like a ground beef casserole topped with cornbread or tater tots for when you are feeding a crowd.

    • A black plate with wide egg noodles topped with chopped herbs and served alongside a hamburger steak in tomato and vegetable sauce, with a fork resting on the plate.

    • A plate of Steak Marsala topped with a rich mushroom sauce, garnished with chopped parsley. A fork rests on the side of the dish. The steak is sliced, revealing a medium-rare interior. The overall presentation is appetizing and savory.
