Flank Steak with a Mustard Salt Crust
This is one my folks used to do often in the summer with all cuts of beef...chuck, sirloin, flank..whatever was available. Only three ingredients and proportions of mustard and salt depend on the size of the steak.

Bloody Good Hammer Steak
I have experimented with Balsamic vinegars of varying age and viscosity. 12 year old (or thereabouts) is a good choice for this hammer steak recipe.

Yoghurt Marinated Goat Steaks
I’m sure that everyone under the sun uses this yoghurt marinade recipe for lamb, and it was the first thing I tried with my first bit of goat for tasty steaks.
Dirt Water Dog
Wha'choo lookin' at? Ah, the things we do for food52. The Dirt Water Dog is the epitome of New York City street food. It's been sitting there simmering in its bath of grayish water for days maybe on someone's cart on 6th Avenue. This is not your Papaya dog, which has a satisfying snap to it. And unlike the Chicago hot dog it's permissable (even desirable) to lay on the ketchup and bright yellow mustard. The only food that might be as typical of eating on the street in New York is pizza by the slice with its odd orange color, not to mention plenty of oregano and red pepper flake. But then you get into your falafels... Everything perfumed by the aroma of taxi and bus exhaust. Of course, we could venture in the direction of the Coney Island dog, which is unspeakable except as an object of horror.

The Best Steak Sandwich
I have made this with leftover steak - it's very simple, but deceptively good. The bread should good quality (not supermarket sliced) but softer than crusty baguette halves - with bits of cold steak crusty bread can make the whole thing a bit too tough. I didn't think to photograph it when I made it but it's a pretty sandwich, too!

Apple Butter Roast with Tricolor Farfelle
This actually came about from me playing with my food. I have always heard of fruit flavors with pork I had never really heard about them with beef so I picked apples and decided to dive off the deep end with the roast. Pairing the pasta with this was part of an assignment from my teacher who is always keeping me on my toes and encouraging me to try new things, basically to broaden my flavor palate, which is alot less scary than I thought it would be. In the short and long of things I was supposed to prepare pasta in a way that was new, so I used the juices from my roast(along with a little shredded roast) and made a ragu type sauce. I hope that it goes over as well in your kitchen as it did in mine.

All-Purpose Recipe for Food (a la Bittman)
We’ve found this all-purpose recipe to be adaptable to almost any cuisine.

Bolognese
This is the recipe I'd hoped to submit to the "What you want to be remembered for" competition, but I didn't make the deadline. My grandmother often used to make us "tuco," the italo-argentine version of ragu, and in her hands it was a multi-layered, deep but very fresh dish, a complex stew of fresh vegetables and spices completed by the flavours of beef. It is a multi-layered bolognese, and over time I realized had elements of curry-making in the sense that you start out sweating the onions, garlic and spices in oil to create a base layer, and build up on that. This takes some time and devotion, but it makes for a pretty magnificent bolognese. I love it best over the classic long pasta shapes, spagghetti or linguini. I hope you enjoy it!
Crunchy Ground Beef Tacos
These tacos are your basic crunchy goodness. I serve them simply with lettuce, grated cheddar and Tabasco sauce. I like these with just a bit of beef, but you can use a bit more if you like beefier tacos. Just keep your oil hot so your tortilla gets crunchy.

Bourbon Steak au Poivre
I set the smoke alarm off. Twice. I should have been studying for my Microbiology midterm, but setting food (intentionally) on fire was so much more fun! This recipe is simple, but I love it -- it's my favorite way to eat steak when it's too cold outside to grill. (And in Boston, it snowed today!) I think I originally learned the technique from Mastering the Art of French Cooking (where else!?), but it's ever-evolving. Note: the steaks I used are small, a little bigger than a deck of cards, a serving size of red meat your that would make your cardiologist smile.

Sugar Steak with Bourbon
Sugar Steak is very much what it sounds like: steak that's blanketed with a sugar rub and grilled. Some recipes use white sugar, some use brown, some use both.

Beef Braised in Red Wine With Chinese Mushrooms

New Year's Eve fondue
When I married my husband this was his family's tradition.

Bresaola, Burrata & Golden Beets
The idea for this recipe came from a local Inn and Restaurant, Wine & Roses. If you have the best ingredients, this combination is delicious! The bresaola, found at any fine deli, should be sliced very thinly. Italian burrata, basically a cream-filled mozzarella, is very creamy and flavorful. If you cannot find an Italian burrata, there are some very high-quality American ones too.

Our Hamburgers
It has been interesting to read the recipes for this contest, and there are so many thoughts and strategies that have been laid out on the subject of hamburgers in the past week. About the buns, mayonnaise, ketchup, and other condiments...if you make your own, it will be worth your while, and you can be sure that it will be right. About the meat..grinding your own will give you more control of the flavor and texture. Many call for chuck or other high fat cuts, and that is good, but if you've got a leaner piece of meat, simply grind some pork back fat or other fat into the mix (about 4 oz for every lb of meat). I do two passes with the grinder set at a large setting, and very chilled meat and fat. That said, if you've got beef that has already been ground, it should make a fine burger too. Here's how I make a burger.

Simple Moist Burgers

Taste of the Orient Burger
I like beef stir frys with water chestnuts, so I decided to make a burger out of it.
Big Blue Burgers
Smokey-sweet applewood bacon and creamy blue cheese combine in this recipe to make something special.

The Perfect Sewall's Point Hamburger
I used this recipe on my blog, Fine Art Daily, on a summer day when our constant house guests, Charles and Camilla, were particularly eager to contribute their help to our evening meal. Best Beloved and Tall Boy usually do our grilling, but this time we had to share the duties.

Dry Aged "Prime" Prime Rib
We have been lucky to have a local vendor dry age prime rib for us. The tenderness and flavor from the thyme, salt and pepper make this recipe very popular!

Just Plain Best Burger Ever
I love burgers. Because I like to eat one fairly frequently and sink into the succulent, tasty experience without thinking about fat and calories I keep it simple. I use lean grass-fed sirloin, cooked medium-rare/rare on a good quality whole wheat bun with some mustard, lots of ketchup, and sweet relish. When I'm wanting one, there's nothing like it!

Cherry/Rosemary Burgers
I was inspired by ideas from realage.com to ramp up nutrition, anti-oxidants, and flavor by making these simple additions to regular burgers. I made enough for the adults, thinking the kids would prefer plain burgers, but gave them a taste and they loved it as well! Will be making enough to go around next time!

The Very Best Flank Steak Ever
I'm not sure where this came from and my mom doesn't remember either. I've tried varying the recipe; adding garlic, fresh ground pepper. Nothing is as good or as simple as the original recipe.

Jimmy's Quick Steak
Everyone should have a steak rub. Something quick, easy and delicious that one can slather some fresh cow into, throw on the grill, and serve to some soon-to-be happy guests. Here's mine:
