Beef is easy to cook. A little water added to the pan helps hold in moisture. A little vegetable, or canola oil, may be needed if pan frying. Grilling is also an option, though it takes a little more work, thought, preparation, and a good grill. Marinating isn't necessary, though it may improve the taste, texture, and cook time.

 

All burger based meals may be made from either beef or turkey burger.

To make the beef recipes section simpler, I am using the labels on the PDF called "Beef Made Easy - Retail Beef Cuts and Recommended Cooking Methods" by the 2005 Cattleman's Beef Board and National Cattleman's Beef Association (accessed 04/21/13).

This is a great resource when ordering cuts of meat from a farm raised cow to store in your freezer. Word of note: Some cuts may include others. Also, some butchers will name parts differently. The Beef Retail site (accessed 04/21/13) also offers recipes, food safety, and newsletters from its main page.
