Beef Recipes

Beef Stew with Phyllo Pastry

Basic traditional Beef Stew is elevated to a gourmet dish with the addition of a Phyllo pastry crust.

Chili Bake with Baked Potato Topping

Here's a great, easy recipe that combines the spiciness of Chili con Carne with a great baked potato topping. Sort of a Texan cousin of Shepherd's Pie!

Chili Bundles

Individual Chili con Carnes in baked tortilla wraps with a cheese topping.

Chili con Carne with Chocolate

A great chili recipe that the family will love. The chocolate is optional, but does add a smoothness to the recipe.

Cornish Pasty Pie

Strictly speaking, Cornish Pasties are made by enclosing the filling in individual rounds of pastry and baking. To cut back on fats and effort this version has the filling topped with pastry to create a pie.

Roast Beef studded with garlic cloves - an excellent alternative to regular roast beef!

Shepherd's Pie with Pastry

Shepherd's Pie with a crispy pastry crust is just great!

Slow Cooker Beef Stew

A beautiful beefy stew with pearl onions and lots of vegetables! Make this in your slow-cooker or 'Crockpot' for best results.

Steak and Kidney Pie
An English pub classic! Steak and kidney pie is hard to beat. If desired, substitute additional halved mushrooms for the kidneys.

Steamed puddings have all but disappeared in today's fast-paced world. This does take three hours to cook but the flavor is quite exceptional and unlike that achieved by any other method of cooking beef.
