What are some recipes a red meat lover would enjoy?

My boyfriend is the epitome of the red meat man. If it is not on the menu, he will not eat. Instead, he indulges in fast food burgers and tacos which is putting a ding into our finances (and probably his health).





So what are some red meat recipes other than steak, burgers and tacos? Or better yet, what are some recipes sans red meat that he might enjoy?What are some recipes a red meat lover would enjoy?
Easiest BBQ Beef Brisket recipe ever. The smell while it is cooking is to die for.

Spaghetti %26amp; meatballs, meatloaf, beef shish kabobs (one of our favorites!), pot roast, Italian beef sandwiches or French dips.





Does he like pork? Pork roasts, barbecued ribs, shredded pork sandwiches, Jamaican Jerk pork, pork chops.





You can google to find any of these recipes.
marinated brisket with tzimmes. It's from the Hadassah Cookbook published around 1980.
steak smothered in gravy with a side of mashed potatoes
home tacos are cheap. use cilantro, comino and chili powder and black pepper and garlic and onion for home tacos. same with home burgers- make them!





to answer your question- well, red meat is expensive. but a GOOD steak, 1'; thick rib, marinated in wine, vinegar, lemon juice, beer whiskey, anything alcoholic or acidic (sour) will penetrate and give flavor; 10-24 hours in the refrigerator; add slices of onion, too.


black pepper, and what spices he likes, onion/garlic powders, paprika, hot red pepper, etc. then slowly broil, far from the fire or heat coils if electric oven, until medium or medium well. well done only if he hates blood, but JUST to grey to not get dry.


avoid some red meat if possible, especially over age 35-40. health is more important then being a pig. (ask me, i am a pig, i know!)


and do not spice with store-bought spice for steak mix. the MSG will make it taste like a tv dinner. i ruined a good rib like so.





spaghetti and meat sauce- you do the spaghetti...


meatsauce- fry any quality groung meat and drain the fat. if 96% lean, add butter or olive oil to fry. not margerine... spice with a teaspoon of oregano, black peper, salt, a bit of basil (not too much- can be sweet), thyme and anise (7-10 seeds crushed for a pound or so of meat). add tomato of any kind- slices of fresh, canned sauce or paste (add water if necessary) frozen if you buy cheap tomatoes and want to keep for cooking (skin slides off when barely defrosted) cook out the liquid and spoon onto cooked spaghetti. top with cheese of your choice. i usually go for exotics, and shy away from national plastic brands, but kraft fresh parmesan has a taste better than an italian parmesan hoop i tried.


good luck and HAPPY EATING!!

1 medium onion, chopped


1 T bacon or salt pork drippings


1 10-1/2 can broth


1/4 teaspoon each thyme and oregano


2 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped


4 cloves fresh garlic, thinly sliced


3/4 teaspoon salt


1/8 teaspoon pepper


1/4 teaspoon garlic powder


2 T flour


2 T red wine


Pastry for two crust pie





Prepare the pie crust in advance and refrigerate. Allow to come to room temperature for 20 minutes before attempting to roll out. Or use prepared pie dough.





Saute the onion in bacon drippings (you can substitute olive oil if you're watching your cholesterol).





Add ground beef and cook until lightly browned. Add thinly sliced (or chopped) garlic and other herbs and wine. Sprinkle with flour (Wondra flour works well here). Add broth and simmer 10 minutes. Add the chopped egg and allow mixture to cool.





Roll pie dough out into 6 inch circles. Put 3 Tablespoons of the meat mixture onto one side of the circle, fold pastry over the meat and pinch sides together forming a half circle. Moisten the edges of the dough before sealing with a little water. Fry the turnovers in deep shortening or salad oil heated to 360 degrees a few at a time for about 3 minutes until golden. Add a little water to the remaining meat mixture. Heat and stir until a sauce-like consistency and serve over the pies. Makes six servings.
