Cooking is perhaps one of the most entertaining things you could ever do. It definitely won’t feel like it when you’re first starting out, and you will have your share of over or under-cooked meat, but it is all normal on your way to improving as a chef. And you will improve with time. Once you get the hang of things, cooking will be the highlight of your day, because it gives you the chance to experiment and do something yourself, and the outcome is quite rewarding. One of the first plates you need to make is going to be beef.
There are different ways to cook it and each has its own unique flavor. You can try these popular beef recipes for starters.
