Beef Pot Pies

This Beef Pot Pie recipe is adapted from the Pioneer Woman. It's hearty and comforting and just what we needed. If you don't have puff pastry, you could cover it in mashed potatoes or even tater tots!

Beef Stew for Two

I love recipes that serve 2. You can scale this Beef Stew for Two up to serve more. I happened to have had a small chuck roast and all the other ingredients. I love when that happens! It's very flavorful and I made it in the Instant Pot, but also have included the stovetop instructions.

Bacon Cheeseburger Flatbread Pizza

I met my friend Melanie for happy hour last week and she insisted we order a Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza. It's nothing I would have ordered, but we did and it was so good that I recreated it at home for my husband, mainly because it has pickles on it (I had him at pickles!). It's easy and fast to make using a store-bought flatbread. Suspend your disbelief and just try it.

Instant Pot Chili

I have many chili recipes, but this is my new favorite. I have given the Instant Pot instructions and also the stovetop instructions. The addition of a small amount of cocoa powder adds a subtle depth of flavor.

Italian Wedding Soup

The term "wedding soup" comes from the Italian language phrase "minestra maritata" ("married soup"), which is a reference to the flavor produced by the combination/"marriage" of greens and meat. The soup has little beef-pork meatballs in a clear broth with greens. It's absolutely delicious!

Balsamic Rosemary Beef Steak Tips and Mushrooms

Steak tips are actually Flap meat, which is a thin cut of meat that comes from the bottom sirloin butt, similar to flank, hangar or skirt steak. The marinade for these Balsamic Rosemary Beef Steak Tips and Mushrooms is a wonderful combination of balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, rosemary, garlic and a touch of sugar, which helps tenderize the meat.

Beef Bourguignon with Gnocchi

I was out yesterday and my daughter Zoe called me. She asked if she could borrow the blue Le Creuset pot that was in our garage. I said sure, but it was her Christmas present! She made this Beef Bourguignon with Gnocchi, which looked incredibly delicious! However, she did NOT make it at our house, so I never got to have any! The way the recipe is written looks rather complicated, but in fact, it's fairly simple.

Beef Stew in Red Wine Sauce

This Beef Stew in Red Wine Sauce is from Jacques Pépin. His mother used to serve it at her restaurant, Le Pélican. The meat becomes incredibly tender. He uses red wine for the deeply flavored sauce.

Grilled Flank Steak with Rosemary

We often make flank steak on the grill and I am always trying to find different marinades. This Grilled Flank Steak with Rosemary is definitely a winner. My husband said the next time I should make extra marinade to boil and thicken to serve over the steak.

Italian Pot Roast Ragù

This Italian Pot Roast Ragù is made with shredded beef. It can be served over pasta or mashed potatoes. I served it with crusty bread to sop up all the delicious juices. I made this in an Instant Pot, but I always include the stovetop / oven version.
