STEAK RECIPES
Tips for Cooking Steak:
Most steaks (Ribeyes, T-bone, Porterhouse, Filet) do well with nothing more than a sprinkle of Kosher salt and pepper and maybe a dab of butter. I like to cook my steaks in a cast iron skillet like in this Cast Iron Ribeye with Mushrooms. Other steaks, like flank, skirt, and sirloin are better marinated, grilled, and then sliced to use for sandwiches, tacos, or stir fry.

BEEF ROAST RECIPES
Tips for Cooking Roast:
Most sides of beef will include several different kinds of roasts. (See the beef cuts chart for a list of all of them). Roasts are best braised or cooked low and slow in either a slow cooker or in the oven.
Before slow cooking, I highly recommend browning the beef in a pan on the stove top as it really help develop the flavor. As you can see from the recipes below, roasts are very versatile and can be used for everything from a traditional pot roast recipe to shredded Korean beef to hearty stews.

STEW BEEF RECIPES
How to Cook Stew Beef:
If you order a side or quarter of beef, the butcher will likely include a few pounds of stew beef. This beef usually comes from the leftovers of other cuts, and is cut into bite sized chunks. Unsurprisingly, stew beef works well for stew and for slow cooking. You can also make your own stew beef by cutting a roast into bite sized pieces.

CUBE STEAK RECIPES
Tips for Cooking Cube Steak:
Cube Steak (also called Swiss Steak) is usually made by pounding round or sirloin steak with a meat tenderizer or sending it through an electric tenderizer. Many butchers offer the option to cube steak for you as part of their processing. If you like chicken fried steak, you'll want to make sure to include a few pounds of this in your order!
