Whether you’re cooking a massive prime rib or a simple pan-seared steak for one, it’s helpful to know the temperature beef should reach before it’s safe to eat. To make it easy to remember, the safe internal temperature for cuts of beef, lamb, and pork is all the same! The USDA recommends an internal temperature of 145°F, which is considered medium-well. Ground beef, however, should be cooked to a higher temperature of 160°F.

Dinner Party Recipe: Braised Shredded Beef in Tomatoes & Red Wine

When I think about throwing a dinner party, especially a big one like this polenta supper I’m sharing with you this week, my thoughts immediately go to: What can I make ahead? Last week, I had an easy answer: a shredded, succulent mess of beef braised in red wine and tomatoes, falling apart in its juices. It’s a terrific make-ahead dish, since like most braises, this beef gets better overnight, and takes all the stress of a main dish off your hands entirely. Sound good?

Roasted Tri-Tip Steak with California Avocado Relish Is Deliciously, Distinctly West Coast

The majestic Central Coast of California is home to mild weather, jaw-dropping coastal views, and a laid-back vibe from its lucky residents. No trip here is complete without a meal featuring tri-tip, a unique cut of beef named for its triangular shape that was created in the town of Santa Maria in Santa Barbara County.Tri-tip is lean, beefy, and often grilled because California is blessed with year-round grilling weather, but it can also be simply seared and roasted instead.

You don’t need a recipe – just a few basic guidelines will help create the perfect stew!Note for Vegetarians – Sure, you can make stew, too!

Quick Tip: How To Tell When Your Steak is Done

Folks can get pretty particular about how they like their steaks. Some of us like it well-done while others say the more red and rare the better! When we’re cooking steaks at home, it can be hard to get it just the way we like it, especially if we have guests with different preferences.Cutting into the steak to see how things are coming along works well, but this also lets out juices and moisture that we’d rather keep for ourselves.

The Skinny On (Uncured) Beef Bacon

Beef bacon. It just sounds weird to say. Bacon as most of us know it comes from pigs and there’s never really been a reason to question that. Before now, beef bacon has only been available through Halal Butchers (for the most part), although it’s slowly creeping onto your local grocery store shelves. We took it for a test run this morning and as you might expect there are some differences! For our morning test run we used not only beef bacon, but uncured beef bacon.

The Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburger

Growing up on the West Coast, I had two favorite burger chains. One was Carl’s Jr., the home of the Western Bacon Cheeseburger, a burger patty layered with cheese, bacon, bbq sauce, and onion rings. And of course there’s In-N-Out Burger, a chain known for its secret menu and for for using fresh ingredients. When I was creating this bacon cheeseburger I looked to both of those iconic burger joints for inspiration.
