    Main Course Beef Recipes

    Beef! It’s what’s for dinner. Colorado Beef is probably the most well known food in Western Recipes.

    Nothing says a great dinner like a perfectly cooked steak. Don’t miss one of our all time favorites like Grilled Flank Steak with Horseradish Sauce. Or this Pan Seared Bison Steak.

    My favorite food of all time is a good ol’ hamburger. I’ve shared a couple of my favorite burger recipes like this one for Silver Spur Ranch Blue Cheese Burger … it’s cowboy approved. And this popular Bobby Flay Texas Burger.

    Feeding a crowd, take a look at this easy Oven Roasted Brisket with BBQ Sauce, and Cola BBQ Crockpot Brisket. And one of the most popular on my site for Church Supper Sloppy Joes for 60.

    Don’t forget about special occasion meals like Fall River Prime Rib or this pan seared Filet Mignon with Lobster Avocado Salsa.
