Top steaks and potatoes with a warm relish of cherry tomatoes, garlic, green olives, and fresh oregano.
Searching for a quick dinner? Try a stir-fry. This one pairs strips of beef with broccoli florets, carrots, onions, and beans in a tangy orange-soy dressing.
For a fun twist on the traditional meatball sub, skip the sauce and cover meatballs with pineapple and chutney. Crushed red pepper adds just the right amount of spicy to balance the sweet.
Flat iron steak gets a kick with fajita seasoning. Pair it with barbecue-sauce-covered baked beans and corn bread.
Thick cuts of beef are cooked on the skillet and topped with a shallot-cognac sauce. Braised Swiss is a healthy addition to the meal.
A few shortcuts -- such as microwaving the potatoes, carrots, and cabbage before roasting -- will help you cook a corned beef and cabbage dinner in under 30 minutes.
Thyme-mustard mayo, sweet red peppers, and blue cheese add delicious flavor to this tender beef sandwich. Grill wraps before serving for a slight crunch.
This skillet-cooked steak is a crowd pleaser. Make it a meal by serving with garlicky white beans.
Seasoned steak tops ripe tomatoes, fresh cucumbers, crisp radishes, and salty feta cheese.
Spread coarse-grain mustard on top of thick steaks before broiling to spice up your meat. A drizzle of thyme- and rosemary-infused butter adds richness and flavor.
Beef and broccoli stir-fried in ginger vinaigrette add flavor to salad greens with crispy red pepper strips. Use bottled salad dressing to save time.
For a change on pizza night, cover your pie with slices of roast beef, sweet pepper, red onion, and blue cheese.
Cut your cooking time in half by using packaged, cooked beef pot roast and building from there. Sweet cherries, red pepper, onion, and sage add flavor, while balsamic vinegar gives this pot roast great depth.
Skillet-cooked steak covered in Cajun seasoning makes a great sandwich when topped with a ketchup-and-molasses mayo. Heat up a bag of frozen sweet potato fries for a speedy side dish.
