Whether ground and browned into crumbles, or divided into steaks or roasts, beef makes an excellent centerpiece for supper. The popular protein is incredibly versatile and super satisfying, meaning you can compose a meal from only a handful of ingredients. We’ve compiled a list of our best beef recipes for you to try below.

BEEF RECIPES

1. SWEDISH MEATBALLS

Ground beef can serve as a blank slate, and in this recipe it’s transformed into a comfort dish with Nordic flair. The secret lies in the ideal blend of spices — and, of course, the fact that they’re hand-formed with love. Serve this saucy delicacy as an appetizer or nestle the meatballs into a bed of pasta for a tasty main course.  

2. OPEN FACED ROAST BEEF SANDWICH

This open-faced sandwich brings together tender slices of roast beef smothered in rich beef gravy, with caramelized onions adding a touch of sweetness that perfectly complements the savory meat. Toast hearty, thick-cut Italian bread for a base that will soak up just enough gravy while maintaining its structure. Top with slices of provolone cheese. You can even pop them under the broiler until bubbly.

3. THE ULTIMATE MEATBALL

Mamma Mia! Those other meatball recipes can roll on out of here! Enlivened with rustic Tuscan-inspired herbs like basil, oregano, garlic powder, and more, these moist orbs get their flavor from a combo of lean ground beef and ground pork. While they bake (yes, no messy frying required!), prep some pasta or even some split rolls for the ultimate meatball sandwich.

4. BEEF SOUVLAKI

Journey to the sun-drenched Mediterranean with this aromatic Greek-inspired skillet souvlaki featuring the robust combination of McCormick Oregano Leaves, McCormick Whole Thyme Leaves, and refreshing mint, transforming ordinary beef sirloin into herb-infused bites. Thread the seasoned cubes onto skewers, alternating with colorful cherry tomatoes and red onion wedges for an elegant yet effortless presentation. Once grilled, sprinkle with feta and serve over Greek salad or pita bread for an Greek-style touch.

5. NACHOS SUPREME

Next up on your one-pan passport? For this recipe, we’re heading south of the border, with restaurant-quality nachos that will feed a crowd (or, you know, “fewer” people; we won’t tell). Using McCormick Fajita Seasoning Mix you can whip this fan favorite up in about 15 minutes.

6. PEPPER STEAK

Who doesn’t love succulent steak for dinner? And no, this Asian-inspired recipe doesn’t use pepper—the peppers here are the veggie kind. This dish gets its spicy zing from the duo of McCormick Ground Ginger and soy sauce (with McCormick Brown Gravy Mix bringing an extra touch of flavor and moisture). 

7. SLOW COOKER BEEF STEW

How slow can you go? Everything gets added to the pot — think cubes of stew meat, hearty potato and carrot chunks, aromatic onions and celery, and a McCormick Classic Beef Stew Seasoning Mix Packet — then simmers until you're ready for dinner in 5 to 8 hours. 

8. BEEF AND VEGETABLE STIR FRY

This vibrant stir fry brings a balanced meal to the table in minutes. Tender strips of sirloin steak caramelize beautifully in the hot skillet, while a rainbow of fresh vegetables adds satisfying crunch and nutritional balance.  The medley of veggies can include any of your crew’s favorites — broccoli, mushrooms, peppers, snow peas, carrots, baby corn, celery — the list of possibilities is endless. Once they’re crisp tender, you’ll add everything back to the skillet to mix with the simple yet savory sauce that coats each ingredient perfectly.

9. GROUND BEEF TACOS

When you’re looking for a crowd pleaser on Tuesday (or any night!), nothing beats tacos. The beauty lies in personalization—set out a colorful array of toppings like diced tomatoes, crisp lettuce, cool sour cream, zesty salsa, creamy guacamole, and shredded cheese, then let everyone build their perfect masterpiece according to their own tastes and preferences. Thanks to a package of McCormick Original Taco Seasoning Mix, these prep up in mere minutes, leaving you more time to enjoy your family around the table.
