Restaurant Beef Recipes


Quality beef and my customer approved restaurant beef
recipes ...a winning combination!
There may be things better than beef, potatoes and
home-made bread ---there may be.


For many years, beef was THE staple at dinner time in America, whether at home or when
dining out. But for many people and their families things are changing. People are beginning to
vary their diets, reducing the amount of beef they consume. Still ...I continue to sell a great deal
of beef at my restaurant.


There are three reasons why I continue to sell a lot of beef at my restaurant.



  • I purchase quality beef

  • I have restaurant recipes that work

  • I cook the beef to the requested doneness (Yes, I encourage the use of meat
    thermometers)


Of the eight different grades of beef, I only use two for most of my restaurant recipes: "Prime"
and "Choice."


"Prime" is expensive because it is the best. I use "Choice" for many of my restaurant beef
recipes. Please remember, regardless of the quality of the grade, some cuts of meat are naturally
more tender than others. They are in greatest demand and usually command a higher price than
other cuts.


Start with the right product and the right restaurant recipe, cook the beef as specified and you’ll
end up with a fantastic tasting, healthy meal your family will remember for a very long time.
And most methods of cooking beef are easier (and healthier) than many people think.
