Zippy Western Beef Steak

Here’s a quick version of a slow-simmer recipe favourite. Combine Beef Fast-fry Steaks with chili sauce, add seasonings and veggies, and serve up a hearty meal in less than 20 minutes.

This ground beef classic may seem fussy to make but using a béchamel sauce and medium ground beef makes this so much better than a purchased lasagna. Béchamel is easier than you may think and using oven-ready noodles saves prep and clean-up time. BONUS: This recipe makes about 2 cups extra meat sauce that you can package up and freeze to use as a speedy weeknight spaghetti dinner.

Golden Rice & Beef

The colours alone could knock this one out of the park, but the sweet, savoury and somewhat exotic flavours carry it the extra mile. This is a fantastic dish for any occasion, any time of year.

Speedy Roast Beef Stroganoff

Roast beef is the ultimate convenience food when used as the spring board for the next-day meal! This stroganoff is absolutely AMAZING when made with tender bites of leftover medium-rare Prime Rib Roast! Your dinner's all ready as soon as the noodles are cooked!

Skillet Steak Tacos

Quick, easy and delicious! The Mexican street-food classic starts with a simple citrus marinade and steak with bold beef flavour. You can also use Sirloin Tip or Skirt Steak instead of the Flank Steak

Blended Sliders

Beef and beans are a perfect match both nutritionally and flavour-wise in these delicious sliders! The protein from the beef and the fibre from the beans makes a dynamite combination that helps keep you feeling fuller for longer. Both beef and beans provide iron – beef provides heme iron while beans provide non-heme iron.

Classic Stove-top Mac n’ Beef

This is a great dish to make ahead, keeps well in the refrigerator for 3ays. Don’t have any elbow macaroni? Any medium pasta shape will work just as well.
