Simple Skillet Ground Beef Stroganoff

By making Big Batch Ground Beef ahead, recipes such as this can be pulled together in just minutes — a perfect dinner for those nights when everyone is on the run. If you want to skip making the Big Batch Beef, substitute 1 lb (500 g) fresh ground beef, browned with 1 EACH large onion and clove garlic, minced.

Barbecue Style Beef Pot Roast

To enjoy as a speedy weeknight dinner recipe, use the Make Ahead Plan: Cook beef pot roast and refrigerate overnight in the sauce it was cooked in. Next day, skim any fat from sauce and thinly slice roast crosswise; place slices of meat in an ovenproof casserole. Heat sauce and pour over meat. Cover with foil or casserole lid; heat in 350°F (180°C) oven for about 25 minutes.

Beef Steak Pho (Noodle Soup)

Make with thinly sliced prime rib or strip loin steaks. You can make your own pho flavoured beef broth (see Tip below) or buy ready-made. Serve the soup with hot sauce and soy sauce.

The Smashing Burger is a great way to enjoy burgers in the winter season without firing up the grill in the snow! Enjoy burgers that are extra crispy on the outside, while still juicy on the inside. Crispy is the key! Chef Mathieu Paré of the Canadian Beef Centre of Excellence shows Canadian Women's Hockey Player Haley Irwin how to make these Smashing Burgers at home.
