Here are the top 10 beef recipes that I love to make. They are all easy, fast, and weeknight dinner smiles! All of them have great dinner hacks to make getting dinner on the table happier!
Recipe Hack / Cooking Tips:
- Burger Seasoning Ratios: Salt is a flavor enhancer and makes food taste more wow! Burgers most important seasoning is salt to make the perfect burger! For every pound of beef add a teaspoon of salt!
- Sear beef with out all the mess: When slow cooking short ribs or brisket why mess up a pot and the kitchen to sear the beef! Instead place on a sheet tray in a 450 degree oven for 15 minutes. This will sear them perfectly and not create a mess!

1) Slow Cooker Beef Bourguignon
Beef Bourguignon is just a fancy name for buttery beef stew soaked in sweet tangy wine. The original recipe takes more time then this New Yorker has. So I developed a slow cooker version that cooks while I am at work.
2) The Best Meat Lasagna Ever
The sauce is gloriously seasoned with a warm comforting sweet and spicy sausage. Each bite is a stick to your ribs masterpiece, that you will be proud to serve your family. As you carry this 10 pound pasta creation to the table, you know Sunday dinner is a cheesy success.
3) Slow Cooker Beef Tacos
This beefy, sweet and spicy tacos is the perfect dinner with lots of juicy leftovers. The best part is your slow cooker (home cooks personal chef) cooks the meal for you while you are at work.
4 ) Easy Individual Beef Wellington
Steak says “I love you” (that should be a T-Shirt)! Smeared in spicy mustard, topped with garlicky-salty mushrooms, and wrapped in flaky puff pastry. This is an easy sheet pan dinner!
5 ) Slow Cooker Italian Short Ribs
This slow cooker short ribs dinner is the perfect warm yummy greeting after a long day. I love slow cooker recipes because it makes a long day easier.
6 ) Slow Cooker Cheesy Meatballs
Get ready for the easiest, juiciest, softest meatballs! These meatballs are my love note to cooking and actually are one of the things that inspired me to start Chop Happy.
7 ) Slow Cooker Brisket
The easiest slow cooker brisket almost as good as my mom made. Drop all the ingredient sin the crock pot and get ready for the juiciest beefy dinner!
