Classic Roast Beef with Gravy
Nothing says "Sunday Dinner" like a classic roast beef with gravy dinner with all the trimmings. Roast don't take a lot of work and there are so many different ways to use any leftover beef. Canada Beef worked with the Canadian Living team to develop this recipe. Start a tradition in your home this Sunday!
Singapore Beef Satay with Rojak Salad
I have such fond memories of visiting the “satay street” alongside Lau Pa Sat market in downtown Singapore. Everyone sits along long tables as the smoke from the charcoal stay stalls wafts down the street, as platters of sataya skewers are dropped in front of you. While not a traditional pairing with satay, I love the cooling effect of rojak, since it refreshes and cleanses your palate in between bites of the flavourful satay (and yes, I even like adding Sambal Belacan to it!) Recipe developed by Anna Olson. Recipe adapted by Canadian Beef Centre of Excellence.
Rib-Eye Steaks with Spicy Roasted Tomato Sauce on Tortillas with Radishes & Avocado
Inspired by a recipe developed by Mexican chef, Federico López, this recipe has been simplified for cooking at home. The radishes can be prepared ahead and make a nice condiment for salads or other beef meals.
Steak and Corn Tostados with Herbed Bean Salad and Pickled Radish
This recipe was inspired by Chef Alexis Bostelmann from Mexico.
Yonge Street Sirloin with Gremolata and Mushrooms
In honour of Canada’s 150, we’ve planted our stake (steak) by (finally) naming a steak after a famous Canadian icon – the longest (debatable) street in the world! Chef Mills, Executive Chef of the Fairmont Royal York, THANK YOU! The original recipe was adapted to this version for home kitchens by the Canadian Beef Centre of Excellence.
Charred Sirloin Roll with Pickled Asparagus
Chef Mills of the Fairmont Royal York created these lovely light beef bites with oven-roasted beef Tri-tip, but the recipe would also serve well made with any leftover thinly sliced cooked steak. So delicious, you’ll be cooking up an extra steak next time you grill just so you can make these bites the next day – intentional leftovers! The original recipe was adapted to this version for home kitchens by the Canadian Beef Centre of Excellence.
Beef Tri-tip ‘Sushi’ with Szechwan-style Sauce
A perfect recipe for oven roasted tri-tip or you can use any leftover cooked steak that you slice thinly. This recipe is our gift from Chef Clinton Zhu of Shanghai – using two options for Szechwan Sauce – Green Herb or Tahini-based. The original recipe has been adapted for home kitchens by the Canadian Beef Centre of Excellence. Chef Clinton created this for a special Canada 150 celebration at the Fairmont Royal York in Toronto.
Stuffed Mushroom Beef Bites
This Bourguignon recipe makes about 4 cups, which is enough for 2 people if you set aside some to make Mushroom Beef Bites for a party. To serve as an elegant dinner, consider serving along a roasted portobello mushroom cap. Top servings of Bites and/or Bourguignon with grated Parmesan and minced parsley.
Beef Salpicao and Crostini Beef Bites
Beef Salpicao is a quick, garlic beef dish prepared by simply marinating with some simple flavourful ingredients and then stir-fried for quick preparation.
Juniper Berry and Rosemary Petite Tender Beef Roast with Pea Purée
This is an elegant starter course, or serve as a main for just 2 to 3 people. Chef Jean-Francois of the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise uses dried pine needles instead of the rosemary as the chef’s cooking philosophy is all about local.
Beef Blinis Bites
This recipe makes 2 steaks so you can use one steak for a dinner for 1 or 2 people (e.g. make a steak sandwich or salad for 2 using some of the Jam in the dressing) and then use the reserved steak (and reserved Jam for an appetizer the next day with the Blinis).
Mediterranean Beef Brochettes with Greek Tostada Bites
This Mediterranean marinated beef can be served as brochettes as a main meal. With enough leftover, you can pull together quick Greek Tostada Bites
Beef’n Blues Wagon Wheel Bites
Everyone loves puff pastry appetizers. These homemade appetizers will be a hit at your next party. What a great way to turn leftover Braised Beef Ribs Harvest Stew into a simple appetizer that can be made ahead and baked just before guests arrive.
Beef Wrapped Maple Parsnip Bites
This recipe takes advantage of making appetizer bites from leftover roast beef. The recipe is enough roast to make 4 to 6 main course servings as a roast one night, with enough left over to make 40 Bites to serve within 3 days.
Mushroom Crusted Bacon Wrapped Beef Bites with Wasabi Dipping Sauce
This appetizer might be bite-sized but it's packed with flavour. Cubes of tenderloin beef are wrapped in bacon and then rolled in a dried mushroom and bread crumb mixture. This mixture adds a unique crunch and flavour punch to the beef bites. This recipe can be made ahead and baked just before guests arrive. Serve the bites with the wasabi sauce which can also be made up to 3 days ahead (store in the fridge).
Wild Mushroom and Beef Ragout with Polenta
This is a delicious all-purpose meat sauce from cookbook author Bonnie Stern. Try it over pasta too. Just a little bit of sausage adds a lot of flavour to the recipe, but you can omit it if you prefer and use an equal amount of lean beef.
Carolina Spice Rubbed Tri Tip Beef Roast
Simple spices combine to make a unique rub for roasts and steaks. Paired up with a matching barbecue ‘mop’ (Southern U.S. bbq lingo for barbecue sauce), this combo makes an authentic slow-roasting Southern BBQ experience for cooking roasts in the oven or by indirect heat on the barbecue or smoker.
Veal Cutlets with Homemade Tomato Sauce
Emily Richards, P.H.Ec., share with Canada Beef her recipe for Veal Cutlet with Homemade Tomato Sauce. Also called in Italian, Cotolette di Vitello con Sugo. This is a favourite recipe for entertaining or a great homemade Italian meal. You can freeze these cutlets in sauce and save them for a cold night to warm everyone’s hearts. The leftovers, if there are any make great sandwiches the next day!
So-Trendy Sirloin Sliders
These lean mini burgers are oven-baked for maximum juiciness and easy cooking . To make regular size burgers, form meat mixture into six 3/4-inch (2 cm) thick patties and grill over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes per side.
Chilean Pebre Beef Medallions with Pasta
Pebre is a slightly hot pesto-like sauce that makes a wonderful accompaniment to beef and pasta. In Chile, this fresh herb sauce is a staple on the table. You can use any thick-cut Grilling steak instead of Medallions if you like.
Balsamic and Red Wine Glazed Beef Bruschetta
Here’s a winter take on a summer favourite. Serve the beef alongside the toasted baguette slices and have guests assemble OR spoon beef mixture into ready-made croustades for an easy one-bite appetizer. Make speedy Wilted Spinach as an option to serve as a baguette topping under the beef if you like.
Brandied Beef Tenderloin
This simple version of a classic French beef recipe makes a very special dinner. Use a packaged demi-glace mix as a gourmet short-cut.
Classic Roast Beef with Rosemary Cream Sauce
Roast beef’s so simple (and impressive) for entertaining – just season (simply), sear and slow-roast for best results. Use a MEAT THERMOMETER to cook your roast to the doneness that you like the best – without overcooking it! A good thermometer is one of your best kitchen investments (way cheaper than granite counters)! Beef Strip Loin is ever-tender and has amazing flavour. And because of its flatter shape, a Strip Loin roast will cook quite quickly for its weight.
