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" found online: http://www.beefretail.org/CMDocs/BeefRetail/efcdisplaytools/BeefMadeEasyCutChart.pdf 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 (http://www.beefretail.org/ accessed 04/21/13) also offers recipes, food safety, and newsletters from its main page.
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.
