American Beef Recipes

American cooking is a melting pot of comfort food — from slow-smoked barbecue to skillet classics, big on bold, crowd-pleasing flavour. When American cooks work with beef, they reach for butter, smoked paprika, brown sugar, mustard, hot sauce and good stock, and the techniques that come up most across these recipes are simmering, searing, baking and boiling.

A rich, deeply savoury red meat that rewards both fast, hot searing and long, slow braising depending on the cut. In this collection it's most often cooked with garlic, worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, onion, apple cider vinegar and smoked paprika. The dishes here span american classics ready in as little as 20 minutes to slower, more involved cooking that rewards a relaxed afternoon.
